#Booksky Big thank you shout out to @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social for including the Astreiant Series created by Melissa Scott @blueterraplane.bsky.social and Lisa A. Barnett in their recommendation list for the Best Series Hugo Award! www.nerds-feather.com/2026/02/2026...
Thank you to @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social for including me on a longlist of fan writers to consider nominating for awards, and thanks to several people who've said they plan to nominate me! Spurred on by this, I've finally written a Hugo Awards eligibility post about the reviews I wrote last year.
#Booksky Queen of Swords Press titles are on sale at #Smashwords this week! Get your queer reads from gay Edwardian murder mysteries to dapper lesbian capybara pirates and beyond! www.smashwords.com/profile/view...
Personal Me: this Minneapolis fundraiser has stalled again - it’s run by people I know and I will vouch for them. Boosts appreciated too! www.icehurtsanimalstoomn.org
Thank you. ❤️🩹

Woke up to this sweet cover reveal! 😍🙌🏽🌊 I worked on cover art and design for @jolantru.bsky.social's new book with @qospress.bsky.social, 'Sailing the Golden Chersonese.' Every detail relates back to the story, with lived and re-envisioned references to Nusantara design.

Ah! Good point! 💖
It’s so gorgeous, inside and out! 💖
#Booksky Working on getting the preorders up, but in the meantime, look at the incredible cover art by @bydhiyanah.bsky.social for @jolantru.bsky.social’s SAILING THE GOLDEN CHERSONESE! Queer pirates, Naks and magic coming your way soon!
Screenshot of a book cover showing an illustration of a crow perched on an "ICE" jacket lying in the middle of a snow-lined road under the light of a full moon. The cover reads "ICE Out " by Charles de Lint. Text to the right of the cover reads "ICE came to Newford. Big mistake." and "Download for free!"
Urban fantasy author Charles de Lint just published a new "novelet" and released it for free, his stories of myth and magic and community and found family are full of so much love and hope and we could all use some of that right now

A small stack of paperback copies of The Night Sweeps the Mountains Away by Tanvir Ahmed.
LOOK WHAT FINALLY ARRIVED! 👀
All paperback orders should ship out tomorrow!
#Booksky Need some comfort and humor? OBVIOUSLY, ALIENS by Jennie Goloboy is a madcap roadtrip with talking corgies and more while THE VOYAGES OF CINRAK THE DAPPER by A. J. Fitzwater is a warm fuzzy hug! Available everywhere (but buying from us is 💖). queenofswordspress.com/product/obvi...
Economies of scale, though. It’s not the same as having the resources and reach to nurture someone’s career along from Book 1 to Book 10.

“Pioneer” is the word: lesbian heroine Sylvia Townsend Warner wrote 7 utterly distinct novels which you probably don’t know since they are all so different to each other, 150 short stories, a history of Tudor church music and much else. Her (umpteen) letters are fascinating.
