So apparently there's a #rapture on Tuesday. Seems like a great time to download some free books about a smart-ass half-demon saving the world from the powers of Hell πŸ‘€

A screenshot of a still from the American tv comedy series β€˜Who’s line is it anyway’. The still is in two halves: the top and the bottom. 
The top is a still of male presenter Drew Carey, sitting behind a table with the audience in the background holding a piece of card: the text over the top half of the still says: 
β€˜Things to say that will always start a fight.’
The bottom half of the still shows the American comedian Ryan Stiles standing in front of a purple and blue backdrop. The text over the top says:
β€˜Everybody deserves food and shelter before anybody deserves rental properties or yachts. β€˜

Write a fantasy or sci-fi with a protagonist that white women can easily identify with (read: self-insert). Make the villain SUPER obvious with vague hints of allegory so the "book girlies" can feel like rebels, but don't get too real or they might be uncomfortable. Also give her hot boyfriends.

The book of the unnamed midwife cover

The book of the unnamed midwife cover

THE BOOK OF THE UNNAMED MIDWIFE by @megelison.bsky.social.

What a wonderful novel. Follows a midwife wandering a post-plague America secretly supplying birth control to outnumbered, enslaved women. Humane & complicated & messy & dire & inspiring. And, wow, TIMELY.

As a folks seemed keen on the idea of written author interviews (hermits unite!), I've dusted off my interview questions and added some new ones.

If you'd like to do an interview on my blog, email me with the subject line AUTHOR INTERVIEW REQUEST and I'll send the Q&A on!

New rule: tech broligarchs can't cite sci-fi or fantasy unless they've demonstrated they've read the source material and could get at least a B on a freshman-level essay on it.
