Background image is a book cover: the top third is bright green with yellow text that reads Tiffani Angus, Val Nolan. The middle third is black with white text that reads Spec Fic for Newbies Vol. 3; the bottom third is green with yellow text that reads A Beginner's Guide to Writing Even More Subgenres of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. Foreground text: βArchaeologists are time travellers, at least metaphorically speaking (though, given that this is spec ficβ¦!). They are detectives. They are literal worldbuilders weaving the most incredible narratives out of the sparsest physical evidence.β p. 107
You don't have to put down your whip & trowel because SPEC FIC FOR NEWBIES 3 has uncovered a close look at the history, types, and elements of tales about archaeologists! Get your hands on the excavated facts 24 March! Pre-order paperback or ebook wherever books are sold: linktr.ee/specficforne...

I'm loving @confusionmi.bsky.social videos! It's like catching a panel in the comfort of my own home, and it's really taking the edge off of the post Con sadness!
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
Thanks to @confusionmi.bsky.social for this interview and for the opportunity to talk about @calendaroffools.bsky.social current project, the βMissed-Fitsβ anthology! Link to the project in the comments :)
