After months of rumors, I can confirm that the "big 3" SF/F magazines of Asimov's Science Fiction, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, and Fantasy and Science Fiction have been purchased. The new owner is Steven Salpeter and a group of investors. 1/2 www.patreon.com/posts/123173...

Queries open on 2/28. How many queries will he receive on the first day? My prediction: 5 before lunch, and an additional 40 by the end of day. What are your predictions?? @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social @roseclifflit.bsky.social

Oh, what a beautiful, haunting tale, apocalypse at the family level. Amazing.

This one always makes me cry. Worth it.

"long ago they had given up the grossness of matter, finding it held them back from their greatest pleasure, which was to see new things—Like me! I shouted, and they cartwheeled in delight around me." This is what I want. :) @premeemohamed.com @thedeadlands.com @psychopomp.com

Huge thanks to Premee for spending time with us this morning. We all loved these stories! And hearing Premee read from her new collection was like magic! @premeemohamed.com @psychopomp.com

Found this in the "No One Will Come Back For Us" collection. Stunning setup and delivery. Honestly the whole collection is marvelous.

Read this in "No One Will Come Back For Us and Other Stories" and it got under my skin. I feel like it's got a real Carcosa from the King In Yellow #ttrpg vibe to it that resonated with me obviously.

"So it begins. And the play is conducted upon the gears of a clock." Love the way this story pulls you right in! @premeemohamed.com in @thedeadlands.com

this was an *exquisite* read

🎉I've been waiting to scream about this one! 🙌 Thrilled to be working with Harlequin again on THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY, a My Fair Lady-esque plot wherein the heroine decides she will Become Nice & recruits a reluctant Georgiana to help her change/grow (with predictably farcical results)

*007 loses gun* BAD GUY: “Looks like you’re done, Mr. Bond.” *007 pulls out phone and taps twice* *Delivery van pulls up to secret layer, driver hands 007 a package containing a replacement gun* BOND: “With Prime, the only thing that’s done are long delivery times.”

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

"When her bell sounded at midnight, Firion the wizard grasped her stoutest staff (crowned, for non-magical reasons, with a razor-sharp chunk of amethyst) and put her lips to the doorjamb." Another fantastic story from @premeemohamed.com! @strangehorizons.bsky.social

"I want us to be the safe place she lands when she comes home. I want to hand you to her and remember the moment the way she doesn’t and the way you can’t." This piece feels like it could be a single step into the future. 💔 @premeemohamed.com @psychopomp.com

Well, this one hit me right in the feels.

"What a wonder you are! Out here all alone." 🥹 @premeemohamed.com in The Deadlands @psychopomp.com @thedeadlands.com

This week's guest is Premee Mohamed! We're celebrating her new collection and digging into a few new stories! First, check out ONE MESSAGE REMAINS! Out now from Psychopomp! @premeemohamed.com @psychopomp.com

Hugo nominations are open until March 14! Below are my awards-eligible stories, published in @podcastle.org @clarkesworldmagazine.com @omgjulia.bsky.social @thedeadlands.com @angrygablepress.bsky.social @unchartedmag.bsky.social @dragonsroost.bsky.social & more

Lyndsie’s stories are full of such emotion. Really a joy to read! @lmanusos.bsky.social

I was so glad I got a chance to chat with @lmanusos.bsky.social about this story as well as her book These Dark Abodes. With themes of bodily autonomy woven in and a very intriguing set up, I loved it all. Thanks for sharing your time and experience with us!

the whole anthology is REALLY GOOD and I am not just saying that because it contains my "Solar Sonata for Four Hands" and @premeemohamed.com 's "The City in the Forest"

Great to reconnect with Lyndsie this morning, hearing about her writing strategies and cheering her success! So many gorgeous stories, including her creepy-cool novella, FROM THESE DARK ABODES! See more of Lyndsie's work at her website: @lmanusos.bsky.social
