My new novel doesn’t drop until May 4th, but suddenly it’s available for pre-order on the usual sites, and…wow, I guess it’s real. Forty years in this business, and every time feels like the first time. @tachyonpub.bsky.social

Say you read one book a month. If you buy the book at your indie, it might cost a few more dollars than from a megaretailer. Now imagine if 9 more people in your community made that switch. What may feel like a small thing is often actually big, especially when we work together 💓

I’ve listed three books on Vinted today and somehow sold all three already. This is unheard of. Books never usually shift this quickly!

My three favourite illos from the batch I did for LOVECRAFT'S MONSTERS (2014), a story collection edited by @datlow.bsky.social for @tachyonpub.bsky.social 1) Love is Forbidden, We Croak and Howl by Caitlín R. Kiernan; 2) Remnants by Fred Chappell; 3) The Bleeding Shadow by Joe R. Lansdale.

A black-and-white digital drawing of a fish-person wearing a collared shirt and jacket but no tie. A bald piscine head, huge staring eye and an open mouth lined with fangs. The frame and background are made from trails of blown and spattered ink.

A black-and-white digital drawing of a nocturnal scene with a shoggoth in partial silhouette, surrounded by layers of faint mist. The creature is an unwholesome amalgam of partly-visible protoplasmic spheres, multiple legs, writhing tentacles and three glowing eyes.

A black-and-white digital drawing of a nocturnal country road some time in the late 1920 or early 1930s. At the foot of the picture a small motor vehicle has just crested a hill. Above it something vast and tentacular is unfurling itself in the cloudy sky.

It's all very well and good to separate the artist from the art and also how do you enjoy someone's work when the mere mention of them gives you a massive ick?

🔭 Astronomer Dr. Vera Rubin's groundbreaking work provided the first direct, convincing observational evidence for the existence of dark matter. By measuring how galaxies spin, she fundamentally transformed modern #astrophysics. She was born #OTD in 1928. #astronomy #WomenInSTEM (1/2)🧵

A color portrait of pioneering American astronomer Dr. Vera Rubin (1928–2016), whose work proving galaxy rotation anomalies provided the first robust observational evidence for dark matter. Dr. Rubin, a woman with short, styled silver hair and large, clear-framed wire prescription glasses, looks directly at the camera with a gentle, intelligent smile. She rests her chin thoughtfully on her right hand, her elbow resting out of frame, wearing a dark brown blazer or top adorned with a subtle, shimmering beaded metallic necklace. She is surrounded by a dense, warm-toned array of vintage astronomical and terrestrial globes of varying sizes, colors, and textures, creating a shallow-depth background that emphasizes her lifelong dedication to cosmology. The composition places her as the central focus capturing her enduring historical legacy as a champion for women in STEM.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

This book hits me right in the childhood. I found this at a local bookstore. I was on my way out the door and just happened to catch a glimpse of it in the corner of my eye. Everyone should read this book immediately.

The 50th anniversary edition of Norton Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth." It features a cartoon sketch of a young boy nose to nose with a watchdog (by watchdog, we mean a large dog with an equally large watch embedded in his torso).
