*surfaces* I’m in book writing mode which includes ignoring nearly everything else to focus on the book. I apologize for anything I’m late in addressing.

Six Wakes by @mightymur.bsky.social is the hands down best SFF mystery I've ever read. S-Tier book.

Eddie Clark @dreddieclark.bsky.social · 27d

4) SFF mystery is one of the hardest genres to write. You make up the rules of the world & it's easy to make the mystery either obvious or completely arbitrary and inscrutable based on your worldbuilding. Getting good mystery AND good SFF is a challenge. So respect the few writers who do it well.

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

It’s too early in the con for sad photos but I had to get one with sad apple.

New cover quote! “…an unexpectedly furry book.”

Rhetor Dark End @dark-end.bsky.social · Sep 6

I am reading an unexpectedly furry book:
@mightymur.bsky.social 's Station Eternity, which features many sentient insectoid alien species.

For those who like knowing how Eating the Fantastic's podcast sausage is made — editing Friday's chat with @mightymur.bsky.social to remove the extraneous required 910 snips, deleting 21 minutes and 10 seconds of raw audio. I hope you'll subscribe now to join us at the table! pod.link/1083737796

Well I have reached a new level in my career. I picked up a book because it looked interesting….

I mean I AM right that it looks interesting. I just don’t have a good memory…
