Chelsea! Has a new book!!
I did an unboxing video because that’s a thing you do. Everyone likes watching people open their mail, right?

My novella is coming out from Split/Lip Press on February 10! @splitlippress.com

This. He’s been my mayor then my governor my entire adult life and you have to understand that he very blatantly cares about one issue and one issue only, and that issue is the political advancement of Gavin Newsom
Also, people going hard for Newsom, who are never, ever from California, have you noticed how many of the people who hate him are FROM California? THAT'S B/C WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ELECT GAVIN NEWSOM AS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS & IT IS VERY NOT GREAT & WE ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU TO AVOID THAT.

Just thinking about all the immigrants from these countries who have been coworkers, friends, mentors, classmates, neighbors, in-laws, my husband, etc. and how much shittier this country would be if they not been allowed to immigrate here. The U.S. is cutting off its whole head to spite its neck

Ok one thing I really love about this book cover is how profoundly bisexual it is

New Mexico is gorgeous and you should go
I just learned there are only 4 tickets left to join the Sandia Starforgers retreat for SFFH writers, where I'll be teaching this spring in New Mexico. It's an intimate event with critique sessions, pitching, and chances to meet other writers. This is my 3rd year on faculty. starforgers.com

SHROUD x BROKEN EARTH
Generations in space didn’t prepare them for the storms of a saltwater world. And nothing could’ve prepared their young biologist for getting stranded on a sinking island, with a stranger who shouldn’t exist, and tears that suddenly have a will of their own. #BluePit📖 #A #SF #Q

This was a fun interview #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy
"First and foremost, I would say that as far as the horniness factor goes, I would just mention that Trek does have quite a past with horniness that I would certainly not want to sidestep."

Just the recent shows; it doesn’t hold a flame to TOS, TNG’s first season, or Enterprise (and what could, really)

Favorite genre:
- Genuinely never could’ve imagined this shit and now it’s making me feel things ?!?

Least favorite genre:
- Utterly normal person wanders around feeling a bit off

In which again Muñeca keeps company with books by some lovely authors, such as @danaiwrites.bsky.social and @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app and lots of others... and, yes, the "working class" aspect of this book is pretty core... and makes the satisfying parts that much more so, IMHO.

This is an object lesson for all writers. If you put a sea shanty in your story, and then later offer to read said story for a podcast, you WILL BE EXPECTED TO SING and it might take thirty-seven takes in the @thewritersgrotto.bsky.social storage closet studio hoping no one else is in the building

The biggest problem with there being so many magical portals to the magic realm is that opening one requires the kind of intense focus that only an advanced sorcerer can summon, just to remember wtf you opened the portal for in the first place as it floods immediately with demons & unfinished spells
