πŸ‘€ "Ten years ago, I had the Big Idea that would become Starstruck: a world where each falling star held a soul that would animate whatever plant or animal it fell on. What would happen if those stars stopped falling? And what about when something got a soul that was never supposed to have one?"

we at the deadlands want to send a big skeleton CONGRATULATIONS to all of last night's @locusmag.bsky.social Locus Award winners!! we cheered along with you all. and a special skeleton high five to @clarkesworldmagazine.com and Neil Clarke!! πŸ’€πŸ–€

Kelly Link says @premeemohamed.com's ONE MESSAGE REMAINS is "Highly Recommended" (thx kelly!) ...we strongly agree. grab a copy and: 1) support small press publishing 2) receive a tremendous book filled with 1 novella and 3 novelettes grab a copy @ your fave book place or from us directly πŸ‘‡

ALSO arguably this is a good day to get ONE MESSAGE REMAINS, my mini-collection (one novella plus three novelettes) from @psychopomp.com ! Consider: - You support me - You support a cool indie publisher - You implicitly support gallows built out of human bones Everybody wins!
