For a good binge read, grab his completed epic fantasy trilogy The Great Way.
His "A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark" is the best standalone urban fantasy I've read.

Less than 90 minutes until the first episode of the Stranger Things finale season drops.
I won't be able to watch until later because I'm chained up in the kitchen, making foods for tomorrow, but I'm still looking forward to it.

I used to be a lead bookseller at one of the biggest bookshops in the UK. We had a reputation for being able to "break" books, i.e. build hype for books we got behind and make them start selling.
That often involved handselling just 9 or 10 copies over a couple of days.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

'“I’m not interested in her incredibly bad writing," Nair said. "Real people are going to become disabled, sick, and die as a consequence of this.” And it could be years before we see the true scale of the damage.'
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

For a while, I had a job where I proofread for court reporters. Those transcripts had some seriously contentious bullshit in them.
NEW: DOJ posted the exhibits involved in the Chicago protesters/press case, including Gregory Bovino's deposition.
He is a real charmer (before they even got to the substance of the case)!

For the [ast few years I've been editing the short fiction for Star Ship Sofa, a venerable SF (not F/H) podcast. It's a small joint, and I've turned it primarily into a reprint market as we can afford only $50 per story.
I've also turned it into a reprint market because writers need money fast. 🧵

I live at a low intersection with a drain on each corner. Elderly folks live on the other three corners.
Every spring, I live drain-clearing. Making whirlpools and draining the road is deeply satisfying.
