Just watched (again) and wow. Looks like they've nailed it!

A friendly reminder - just 3 days left to vote in this year's Locus Awards! poll.voting.locusmag.com

Big, somewhat leftfield news: I am kicking off a podcast with the wonderful @emmanewman.bsky.social under the title Starship Alexandria. It's a cosy book and film recommendation show where we take it in turns to rec things to one another and discuss them.

As someone whose fantasy series is often referencing maps as documents of political power, I'm glad someone's finally taken on this misrepresentation of Africa's size on global maps. Signed the petition so fast my mouse button hasn't recovered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoUI...

I voted. Have you? Deadline is the 15th and anyone can vote. You can even write-in your faves! If you’re still considering short fiction, here’s a link to my eligible stories: www.pacornell.com/2024-awards-...

Only a few days left to Virtual Can*Con!

HUGS ALL THE PEOPLES! (from a distance, if you prefer, but the thought will be there.)

Oh, just saw this. Chirp discounted the audio book of THE SEVENTH VEIL OF SALOME down to $5.99 US. If you're looking for Golden Age Hollywood drama, check it out. www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/t...

Yay! Yes, it's funded (in an hour!!) but there are great stretch goals about poetry and art...you know you want more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kot...

Am recharged and rar'n to go after this most excellent event with writers @kateheartfield.com @kevinhearne.bsky.social @jameswlackie.bsky.social and Marko Arizanovic, hosted by Indigo South Keys! We left signed books as well! @dawbooks.bsky.social

Frolic!!!! (Here I'd assumed simple shenanigans...)

www.csffa.ca/awards-infor... Nominations for Canada's Aurora Award (our Hugo) end tomorrow night! Show your love, Canadian lovers of all things genre. It's the best $10 you'll invest this year. @dawbooks.bsky.social

Just chill'n. (#itscanada) Good news? The goldfinches are mobbing the bird feeder!

Canadian authors hunting in vain for the ISBN of your audiobook to submit to #plr? (Public Lending Right) The great people @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social pointed me to libro.fm and there they are! Aren't bookstore folks grand?

What's better than SIX authors on the SIXTH of April? THESE authors! We're fun, we're friendly, and we'd love to see you. Join us between noon and 3 pm at the South Keys Indigo, Ottawa! @dawbooks.bsky.social

If you are Canadian, and a SFF fan, you can spend $10 and vote for the Aurora Awards. Csffa.ca

Proud to be part of this worthy effort!

@tanyahuff.bsky.social ours are up as well! The snow has a way to melt yet. but TULIPS!
