Today is pub day for Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine! However much writing can be a solitary act, putting a book out definitely isn’t. Thanks to Stillhouse Press and all of Tell Me Yours’ many champions.

My first book is out now. I hope you like it.

Episode 264 of my Eating the Fantastic podcast is now live with guest @foxesandroses.bsky.social! Join us at the table and learn why she ended up as a fantasy writer rather than a comic book creator, how a pantser handles world building — and much more. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

This is literally the anxiety dream I had last week. Just replace "ancient Greek philosophy" with "Mathematical Sanskrit" and well, you're inhabiting my nightmare.
