A book cover for the book Project Tasman by S. Morgan Burbank. A woman with dark brown hair is free falling in front of a group of green, blue, and purple lights. She is wearing a blue zip-up hoodie and a black t-shirt along with blue jeans. She has black eyeglasses, as well as piercings on her right eyebrow and nose. She is watching a number of poker chips -- one each purple, red, yellow, black, and blue -- falling through the air near her. A sixth chip is resting in her right hand, this one colored white.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

With Ace Week🖤🩶🤍💜 coming up Oct 25-31st, I'm putting together an Itchio bundle called 'Asexuals on Adventures'. Main criteria: at least one main character is somewhere on the asexual spectrum (aro-ace is fine👋) and see eligibility graphic for 'Adventure'!⬇️ Sign up form: on my discord or I can DM!

Asexuals on Adventures, Coming Oct 19-31st on Itchio.

Ace flag and purple background.

Main text: 'Adventure' for the purpose of this bundle could be of a fantastical, scientific, or other speculative nature, or historical. Ideally it involves travel/ exploration, and may involve quests (from personal in scale, to save a people/ save the world.)

Eligibility & Genre:
At least one Main Character is somewhere on the asexual spectrum.
Plot-central ace (and LGBTQIA+) themes are welcome, but not required.

Adventure. There needs to be a big adventure, ideally one involving geographical travel. Eg. Exploring space/ a fantasy world, time travel, an alternate history, an underworld of demons, a society of vampires. Sexual exploration involving long distance travel and experiences of other places (eg a road trip) is welcome. Murder mysteries involving long distance travel (eg. multi city/ country investigations and some experience of those places) are welcome.

Given Adventure, I'm anticipating Fantasy, SciFi & other Speculative Fiction. Possibly Historical, mystery/ crime, romance, NSFW.

Preorders: Pre-orders are welcome, if your book releases within 5 weeks of the bundle's end date. Please state the release date in your Itch book description, so readers know when they can download your book.

Categories: YA and Adult Fiction, novellas and full length novels.

Cover Reveals! Shattered City by T.L. Morgan and The Modern Mythos Continuum by Juniper Lake Fitzgerald. The covers are shown against a warbled pinkish-red background. The cover of Shattered City shows main characters Cyrus and Lucien stand in a close embrace, gazing at each other intently. Lucien has his arm around Cyrus, and Cyrus is touching Lucien’s hair. They’re set against a dark blue background and surrounded by an intricate frame of silver roses and thorns. The cover of The Modern Mythos Continuum shows from left to right: Aeris the vampire hunter, Python the vampire, Calysto the warlock. The trio is pictured in a tight formation. Aeris is peering into the distance and holding a thin golden necklace between her fingers. Calysto is back-to-back with her, and holds a book against his chest while staring up and out. His other arm wraps around Python who is leaning against him, seemingly in a catatonic state, his eyes are blank and/or detailed with magical light. A silhouette of a bat-like creature looms behind them.

The covers of Shattered City by T.L. Morgan and The Modern Mythos Continuum by Juniper Lake Fitzgerald are shown with their respective vampire main characters: Lucien for Shattered City, and Python for The Modern Mythos Continuum. Text with an arrow pointing to Shattered City says “Sequel to Silver Blood,” and text with an arrow pointing to The Modern Mythos Continuum says “Sequel to The Modern Mythos Anomaly.” Both out October 6.

The cover of Structural Integrity by Tabitha O'Connell. Beside it, the one-sentence summary reads "Kel needs Yaan to show he cares. Yaan wants one thing in his life to be easy. A demolition order for an old theater could salvage their relationship--or cause its collapse."
