No, no, no, no, no.

This would have to be the week the heat pump broke and we have no A/C. Waiting on a part to be shipped from Toronto…

Last night, I had the privilege of delivering a keynote speech at the Locus awards. You can view the speech and read the full text here. stone-soup.ghost.io/hammer-speech/

With enormous gratitude to @maryrobinettekowal.com I’m pleased to share this blog post on my favorite bit of The Midnight Project. Funny how nerdy we can get when asked what part we loved best. 💕 maryrobinettekowal.com/journal/my-f...

How to keep going when the world is collapsing around you. Such a relevant article for our times! @cclim.bsky.social #scifi The Big Idea: Christy Climenhage whatever.scalzi.com/2025/05/22/t...

CONGRATULATIONS #books #CanadaStrong www.cbc.ca/books/canadi...

It was a thrill this weekend to see THE MIDNIGHT PROJECT in the wild at Perfect Books Ottawa.

Full house at the Old Chelsea Library for the local launch of The Midnight Project. There were snacks and flowers and friends and it was so lovely. Thanks so much to everyone who came and especially @ashhisson.bsky.social who introduced me and provided books.

12 seconds in is my favorite. I *thought* I saw something appear on the left. 😀

Ahhhhhh my little story is out in Apex! If anyone has a few minutes to spare, please consider giving my flash, “Things the Older Boy Understands” a read. I’m really proud of this one ✨

I painted two more mini shikishi boards. The middle one came out the most fun because I used a gem watercolor for the background, but much to my delight, when I painted the octopus in ink, the pigment seeped it to make it look metallic. #Invertebrates #TradArt

Happy Pride everyone! Particularly in this climate it's important to celebrate and we think there's no better way to do that than with a great book! You can learn more about these titles at www.wolsakandwynn.ca

If you need a breather from all this bullshit, here's a photo of Earth. From Saturn. We're that slightly brighter star at centre right.

One of the great things about launching my book at the iconic @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social is I also got to browse the shelves a bit and come away with fabulous signed copies from: @julieczerneda.bsky.social @premeemohamed.com @guygavrielkay.bsky.social @undertow.bsky.social

This. And also: read this story, it’s great!

The world would be a better place with more people in shark costumes. 😊

Hey all HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! Also HAPPY PRIDE!!! If you want to combine celebrating me and pride month, hey, what a coincidence, you can buy 4 years of WE'RE HERE: THE YEAR'S BEST QUEER SPECULATIVE FICTION www.neonhemlock.com/books/were-h... www.neonhemlock.com/books/were-h...

This #sundayfishsketch I chose the Black Dragonfish. These bioluminescent deep sea dwellers have translucent teeth so they aren’t spotted by prey. #sciart #scicomm #fish #watercolor

I’ll be at the launch tonight of my publishers’ spring catalogue (including The Midnight Project) Looking forwarding to it! Come join if you can.
