This is mine and @jasonfranks.com’s creation, @techbrobot.bsky.social. Using a dataset of authentic garbage spewed out by techlords, he’s programmed to spit out his nonsense in response to what trends on Bluesky. Like Elon, but he won’t fire your brother or deny your community life-saving aid.

I can't wait. Much as I loved the books as a teen, there is so much more to appreciate these decades later.

I read the Riddlemaster trilogy in high school and I always loved it. I haven't read much of her other work--I just couldn't find it anywhere at the time. Just started a re-read and I'm looking forward o working through her back catalogue now that it's readily available, in ebook form at least.

Cheers for sharing that, @cullenbunn.bsky.social!

Avast, ye lubbers:
I have a story in this pirate anthology, set in my Faerie Apocalypse universe--so you know it's unhinged.
Plenty of amazing work by a killer crew of bloodthirsty knaves.
If that sounds cool to you, please click on through. Screw the oligarchs--support indie books!
