Browsing old Year's Best SF volumes and came across @gregvaneekhout.bsky.social's "Far As You Can Go," about a kid and his robot on a quest to find the sea. Love the world and the voice. I'm a sucker for boy-and-his-robot tales!

I had a very unpleasant experience with Chizmar and Cemetery Dance doing the Southern Reach limited edition. Chizmar has been perpetually late on publishing and has what I would call inept project management. And his association with Stephen King has over time accentuated his worst qualities.

Hey kids- today I’m celebrating a guy who everyone thought was dead, but returned to us. He wasn’t “respectable”, he had long hair and a beard, wasn’t a fan of authority, didn’t do things the conventional way, but he taught us a lot. Thinking of him on this day. 🙏

I have only learned one thing in life and it's this: once you start eating both ends of the burrito, you've lost. I'm just not sure how to apply this to other ares of my life.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

SFWA members, if you listened to and enjoyed my middle grade horror audiobook The Tower you can help others discover it by giving it a recommend on the Nebula Reading List. If you are SFWA and reading/listening for review or awards purposes, sand me a DM and I can provide a review copy.
