I have been given permission to reveal the upcoming cover of Bee Speaker, book 3 of the Dogs of War series, coming this June. Mad Max futures, Martian invasions, mad lizards, fungus witches and embattled monks, none of which are quite what they seem.

I've been asked to share Lisa Jager's gorgeous cover for Canada/US. Book is out May 27th in paper, ebook, and audiobook. The cute phrase is 'Pre-orders are love' but...they are. They affect print runs, orders placed by bookstores, media. linktr.ee/GuyGavrielKay (Redone to fix linktree!)

I suspect USAID is first because it's "foreign aid" and fewer Americans will object. But once the precedent is established, expect unilateral dismantling of domestic institutions too

This is not business as usual. It’s not just a change in funding priorities going forward; it is the reneging on funding agreements and is profoundly disruptive for even those grants that will be found to be compliant. Meanwhile, trainees who often live paycheck to paycheck are going unpaid.

Book pre-orders are an indication of reader interest in a title. They demonstrate to publishers and booksellers that working with the author and stocking their books is a wise choice. So, if you love an author's work, consider pre-ordering and/or asking your local library to shelve the book.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Sorry, but I really hope people who love THE WILD ROBOT movie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read.

And also, may I say, for 2025: If you are an editor and are like "Oh man, I have a blank spot in this anthology because my author here got eaten by a sarcosuchus," email me! I will write a story for you! Organizers: I will come and talk/teach at your event! I am very nice! I have references! :)
