We've raised over $1 million without taking a penny from corporations, and I'm grateful for everyone who has put their trust in our campaign:
Hey there. Latest story, now out, "Scion." Strangeness. Estrangement. And the history that gets lost in between. A son and father in a moving house. Deranged relatives at cross-purposes. A community fleeing a murderous intruder. A crumbling lunar colony in revolt. Hope folks enjoy. Twisty one.
Totally makes my day when one of my favorite authors puts a story of mine on s list.
Thanks!
GUIDE FOR FICTION-LOVERS READING POETRY FOR THE FIRST TIME:
So you've only read fiction your whole life, and now people are yelling at you to nominate poems.

SFWA's funding drive is closing down and the amazing Veronica Roth has pledged a 3x match. SFWA's doing some incredible advocacy for writers in this crazy industry, and 3x is good math. Do with that what you will. www.sfwa.org/winter-world...
Imagine being a congressman from Minnesota and caring so little about what’s happening here that you just copy and paste talking points.
If you’re not writing your own statements and you’re not holding town halls, what exactly are we paying you for?
Federal immigration agents shot and killed ANOTHER citizen here in Minnesota today.
This poorly-trained, well-funded militia needs to get off of our streets NOW.
Panel One: A sportscaster speaks to a television camera "You join us just in time for the annual booksellers versus librarians tug of war." Panel Two: We see the participants warming up as he continues... "Two very strong teams this year, they’ve both been in training since February. As always, the real skill in this match is not to start chatting about boo-" Panel Three: "Too late!! A pair of librarians are discussing the new Margaret Atwood! A crowd is forming! The booksellers are joining in! It's all over!!" We see all the participants chatting. Panel Four: The sportscaster finishes up to the camera: "The rope lies untouched! The discussions continue! We have a draw for 325th year in a row! Join us again next year!" End. Bonus alt-text Content: Fun fact! The first tug of war was between the staff of Cranston Library and those of Daniel Midwinter Booksellers www.cranstonlibraryreigate.com/ www.blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/manuscripts/2017/11/10/booksellers/
