If you'd like to read How to Survive This Fairytale because it is now an award winning book, you can ask your local library to order a copy, walk into your local indie bookstore, purchase an ebook, or buy direct from Ingram (I make more money on sales with this link): shorturl.at/0Aeyl

How To Survive This Fairytale

A queer fairy tale romance tinged with the horror of reliving your story over and over again, perfect for fans of The Everlasting and Harrow the Ninth. That can't be the way this story ends. Try agai...

Truly honored to have received not one, but TWO awards during the Indie Ink Awards. This book released shortly after my mom was hospitalized. After she passed, @rainbowcrate.bsky.social reached out about a special edition. Readers reaching out, loving this book, got me through that intense grief.🧵

book friends! I need some recs. What are modern fantasies that you would consider Pratchett-esque? (Not necessarily parodic or satirical, but at least humorous and humanist.)

Two years post-release, I'LL HAVE WHAT HE'S HAVING has hit the USA Today Bestseller List again...not sure how or why but I'm endlessly grateful and so excited that new readers are finding Farzan and David.

A screenshot of the USA Today Bestseller list. At #141, I'll Have What He's Having by Khorram, Adib. A smart, sexy "perfect romance" about mistaken identities, a no-strings fling, and the way one night—and one person—can change your life forever, from the... Genre: Romance - Romantic Comedy, Own Voices. Published: August 27, 2024. Previous Rank: n/a.

Left, the cover of I'll Have What He's Having: A Black man and a brown man lean in as if to kiss, both holding glasses of red wine, with the Kansas City skyline in silhouette behind them. Text reads I'll Have What He's Having.

There is a buy at bookshop.org button at the bottom.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Was just reminded of the Bigolas Dickolas incident and I still can't believe that this whole thing happened because of my two favorite queer horror podcasts (Hello From The Hallowoods and The Silt Verses)

A screenshot of a tweet by someone with the screen name "bigolas dickolas wolfwood". The tweet contains the cover of the book "This Is How You Lose The Time War" and the text:

"read this. DO NOT look up anything about it. just read it. it's only like 200 pages u can download it on audible it's only like four hours. do it right now i'm very extremely serious."

A screenshot of a tweet by "bigolas dickolas wolfwood" and a quote-tweet by "Hello From The Hallowoods". The original tweet contains the cover art for "The Silt Verses" and the text:

"SINCE I STILL HAVE YOUR ATTENTION I IMPLORE you on my KNEES to listen to The Silt Verses bc not only is it the BEST fucking radio play you'll ever listen to, but it's also where I was originally recommended Time War in their season 2 Q&A ..."

The quote-tweet contains the text:

"Guys. Guess who recommended 'This Is How You Lose The Time War' in the Silt Verses S2 Q&A"

A reply from "bigolas dickolas wolfwood" to the quote-tweet in the previous screenshot, saying:

"THIS IS QUITE LITERALLY DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF YOUR RECOMMENDATION DUDE i got up IMMEDIATELY after i heard this and bought it on audible. u have changed several lives."

"Hello From The Hallowoods" replied to this with:

"I'm so thrilled! This book blew my mind when it first crossed my shelf and I've been in love with it ever since! So glad @tithenai and @maxgladstone are getting the love they deserve"
