Contract signed! My story "Audit of the Collapse and Convalescence of Minds" is coming in 2026 by @reactorsff.bsky.social, edited by the wondeful @annvandermeer.bsky.social! 🤩 Three highly advanced neurominds are malfunctioning. It falls to Thamires to hear their cases and understand why.

At last it's official! I sold my next nonfiction book, about parties in the ancient world, to the excellent @mattweiland.bsky.social at @wwnorton.com. I'm going to be listening to Kool and the Gang nonstop for the next two years as I do research.

Look at that. Someone in my critique group has a new novel out. I knew when I read it, it would land her an agent and a book deal, it was that good. Apparently, my feedback on her early drafts was worth noting. I hope to return the favor one day. Was going to add links, but you can get it anywhere.

Some of the work I encounter in my critique group can be most charitably described as a train wreck in progress. Sometimes I feel like my job is to just help polish the rails with a smile, because, next week, it's my turn to have others watch my work barrel past the station.
