Congrats to all! I loved Not a Speck of Light and thought it would be a crime if it didn’t make the final ballot. I’ve only read Ghost Eaters by Clay but look forward to reading Kill Your Darling as well as his latest.

Added to the excitement today: My eldest is 13! Bad Hand Books is a family business and would not exist without the support of this wonderful young man.

We come from a proud tradition of fighting back against Nazis. This is my grandfather Ellwood smirking through Europe, getting ready to crack some swastikas in the 1940s.

Will be publishing a satirical novel about the writing business written by a newcomer. Reads like a lost Coen brothers film. More on this soon.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

I keep intending, by means of my this-here BlueSky (sp?) feed, to thrust positivity into this world, thusly elevating same, yet I find myself ever-tangled in my own nonsense. Dang, this Watermelon Z (thanks, Papa's Herb!) hits just right, so quick, let's boost bitchin' books before brain breaks bad!

Feeling radicalized by the book-banning legislation circulating the halls of government in South Dakota. Might delete later. IDK.

Addendum: No matter what, we're not going to stop what we're doing unless these Nazis physically prevent us from publishing books.

If South Dakota criminalizes books they deem harmful to minors (translation diversity in literature), I'm either going to jail or will have to leave the state. A bill threatening librarians with jail time passed committee yesterday. Only a matter of time before they come for me, too. Good times.

"If Britbox and Shudder wrote a book together, it might come out something like Tim Lebbon's genre-busting, dread-inducing crime horror novel SECRET LIVES OF THE DEAD. Full of secrets, trauma, friendship, and curses, Lebbon's latest is a must-read!" --Christopher Golden
