Hey, look, my name's on the @blackstonepub.bsky.social booth background at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social! (Right under Brian Freeman.)

I won't be at NYCC this year, but if you go to the booth (3544), you can get an autographed copy of SUPERNATURAL CRIMES UNIT: NYPD Bk 1 before the official pub date!

On @reactorsff.bsky.social it's the end of the line for two characters, one welcome, one tragic, both intense. The BABYLON 5 Rewatch stays up through "The Long Night."

GOOD NEWS! You can get an exclusive autographed copy of SUPERNATURAL CRIMES UNIT: NYPD at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social from the @blackstonepub.bsky.social booth (3544) autographed by me!

BAD NEWS! I won't be there to personalize it, as dojo stuff is keeping me away from NYCC this year, alas.

Please follow my friend @davidmack.bsky.social. round numbers are imprudent.

David Mack @davidmack.bsky.social · 4d

At the moment, I have 9.1K followers here on Bluesky. I was hoping to reach 10K by the time my novel RING OF FIRE drops on Tuesday, but that seems unlikely now.

It’s not that anything will happen if I reach 10K. I won’t get a pony or a medal. I just like round numbers.

When @anaklimchy.bsky.social showed up at @archonstl.bsky.social, she briefly whisked me off campus to the fantastic @leftbankbooks.bsky.social. We didn't see the store cat, alas, but I did get a Keith Haring book I didn't know about.

Now getting ready for opening ceremonies......

On @reactorsff.bsky.social it's a bit of a transitional episode, and also the last gasp for the Vorlon ambassador to B5. The BABYLON 5 Rewatch starts "Falling Toward Apotheosis."
