Tobias is a very good writer, and he and his family (including the cats) are in a rotten situation. If you can help out, you'll get some great reading.

I said I'd do a thread about my new Space Science Reviews paper, so here it is! This is part of a collection of papers arising from a meeting at the International Space Science Institute in Bern in 2024: a workshop to better understand rocky extrasolar planets. A 🧵:

Interior structure models of Earth, Venus, Mercury, Mars, the Moon, and Io, all shown to scale and key elements labelled.

When a wizard dies, their spells unravel. But the pattern lingers a while. When Fitzglob died, other wizards swarmed his tower, trying to find his time-stopper room, which you exited as soon as you entered, no matter how long you spent inside. "Here! This room!" "Why?" "It has a reading chair!"

On pre-order, our very Welsh Kickstarter project. They Are Still Here features stories of resistance and resilience in Welsh community, with a little help from our supernatural friends. wizardstowerpress.co...

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Art by Josh Arklin.

Happy birthday to Star Trek, as it happens I have a very obvious reason I'm glad that universe exists; without it, at the very least, one of my novels would have a very different title. Even without that connection, however, this universe has given me a lot of joy. Live long and prosper, Star Trek!

The cover to Redshirts, my Hugo Winning novel. "Redshirts" of course is a concept that comes from Star Trek - the expendable character who dies to up the drama for an episode.

THE FLOWER COURT a sapphic romantic fantasy in which a clever young scribe infiltrates the imperial consort quarters to search for a missing noblewoman, only to find herself forced to work with the Dowager Empress’s loveliest & most condescending servant Preorder: us.macmillan.com/books/978125....

The Flower Court by Kate Elliott, cover by Raja Nandepu (design by Jess Kiley). Two women stand side by side at a tall gate that opens into garden with low hedges in the front and a gazebo in the middle distance. A strange and perhaps ominous mist swirls around their legs. They are dressed in calf length skirts, servants' garb. Both have long dark hair, pulled back, and are looking over their shoulders toward the viewer. One holds a large key.

A group photo from the Dublin party at LAcon. There is a group of 15 people sat on and stood around an L-shaped sofa. A lot of them are wearing green clothes or Dublin 2029 tshirts, and the room is decorated with green balloons and green string lights.

One of the more obscure facts I remember about Dolly Parton is this: just like Star Trek would not exist without Lucille Ball, Buffy would not exist without Dolly Parton. She was a silent producer of the movie and show. That's why Buffy Summers has the same birthday as Dolly: January 19.
