Donut! Behold the glory. When I was a kid my grandmother would split these lengthwise, butter them, and put them in the toaster oven to crisp. That’s decadence. #booksky #donut #opulence #writingcommunity

In honor if the new Pope, here’s Chocolate Pope by Electric Six (secret…it doesn’t actually have anything to do with the Pope…or if it does I haven’t cracked the code). #musicsky #booksky #pope m.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Tp...

“We have a doctor here,” said <Imatú↑. “Why don’t you let her take care of you?” “Her? She’s an alien! Ú↔kha! What does she know about our kind?” “Flesh is flesh,” said Pikei. “I have no doubt she can staunch and #stitch wounds.” #vss365

So, the despot is (of course) a techbro, out for revenge on entire planet for crashing his company over human rights violations. I’ve distracted him from his plot w/ a vellichor poison and a copy of Finnegan’s Wake. He’s drooling in a barcalounger, happily stuck on page one. #martialmonday #vss365

My thriller THE UNDERSTUDY (August 5th, Knopf) is available for pre-order (hardcover, ebook, audio). Dark, pulpy, deadly All About Eve-style (or perhaps Showgirls-style) shenanigans during rehearsals for an opera based on Barbarella. Malevolent good fun. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/731133...

I was honestly taken aback at how beautiful these hardcover editions are. Trust me, you want a hardcover edition. “Space is the Place! Over forty stories and poems by some of the best African/African Diaspora authors …” Snag one on Bookshop: bookshop.org/a/1013/97989... #BookSky #DiverseBooks
