Your reminder that Iori Kusano is a terrific writer. If you haven't read HYBRID HEART, a near future novella from @neonhemlock.bsky.social about control and betrayal, I think you should. www.neonhemlock.com/books/hybrid...

There are lots of GREAT rewards! And may I just say in my usual self-serving fashion, SH was the one who picked up my multiply award-nominated novelette BY SALT, BY SEA, BY LIGHT OF STARS. Help keep SH free to read and able to pay contributors! strangehorizons.com/fiction/by-s...

Thank you everyone sharing - 4 days to go including today, I'm making progress but still a way to go. (Etsy working again, would much rather sell pendants if possible, please scroll down for the shiny things!) #Helpsky #Crowdfunding πŸ’•πŸ’Έ

If you love speculative fiction, then you owe a huge debt to @strangehorizons.bsky.social -- a magazine that successfully brought SFF short fiction online and expanded our ideas of what genre can do. It launched my career and many others. And it's still amazing. www.kickstarter.com/projects/str...

Daggerspell, by Katharine Kerr!

It's bad enough discovering your fiancΓ© is a cursed prince, but then someone writes a magical musical about it... In Curses & Curtains, musical theatre is the dominant form of pop culture, and I have SO much fun developing and writing lyrics for all the in-universe musicals. #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

This is Barron and his son, Carlos. Carlos just came home from an exhausting first day of puppy school. Barron is really proud of him. 13/10 Happy Father's Day, Barron

Though it feels strange to be sharing this right now, art is what keeps us going in hard times. Because survival is not enough. Anyway I have a new novelette up at @strangehorizons.bsky.social. It's called "View Window" and it's part of their 2026 fundraiser. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...
