If you've never read any City of Roses before, you'll miss some stuff, sure, but you'll be just about as much at sea as the most avid fan. So, anyway: no. 31, " – marble sends regards – " #author #fantasylit

Lookit! Lovely indie bookshop @Sheelaghnagig has 'And The Wildness' in store! The Graces' tale is 'hilarious and profound' (Siobhán Parkinson) and 'like watching four exciting tv shows at once' (tx @bjornlarssen). What's not to love?!
p.s. @Sheelaghnagig serve lovely tea and homemade buns, as well as stocking wonderful #books. I speak from experience...

*Never Too Old to Save the World* (Eds: Addie J. King & Alana Joli Abbott, 2023) is an anthology whose authors consider what could happen if the Chosen One were called midlife.

A nice change of pace & a welcome work of age & BIPOC representation for adult readers.

Friends! March 20-27, I'll be taking part in the #TransRightsReadathon, raising money for Transgender Law Center as I read from Gabe Cole Novoa's new book, #TheWickedBargain, on my TikTok as much as my spell slots allow.

I invite you to donate per post, or make a 1-time donation.

#HumpDay I taught a fun Fantasy Lit class today. Started with a discussion of Tolkien’s “On Fairy Stories”. Turns out he is very opinionated on what is and isn’t one… Then an in-depth lecture comparing aspects of djinn to Elizabethan Faeries. #teaching #fantasylit #tolkien #ArabianNights #djinn #Genies #specfic

I'm a complete addict of the Fantasy genre. I mainly read the Forgotten Realms novels and recently picked up a few Dragonlance novels. I also read Brandon Sanderson. Read a lot of Tolkien as well. After finishing up The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings trilogy, currently reading The Silmarillion.

Just finished The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo - couldn't put it down. Beautiful writing, an arc made of individual stories like pearls on a string. Can wait to read the next one.

Just finished STORIES OF THE RAKSURA Vol 2 by the mighty mighty @marthawells I’ve blown through the entire Raksura collection and am now bereft. Oh the disorientation and emptiness when a beloved series concludes! Gah. #FantasyLit #SFF

#Dwarves in fantasy media become a far more interesting concept when presented more as Little Bit Beastly badger people than as the Tolkienian-inspired "stubby human" take. #DnD, #PathfinderRPG, etc. and at least the occasional #FantasyLit writer might want to consider this.

Discuss.

Just saw the Jemisin (autocorrected to ¡¡Jameson!!) quip on fantasy being inherently conservative/reactionary. So here's my toot to say there absolutely *is* a long-standing counter-tradition in the genre based in disappointment with the status quo. #fantasy #FantasyLit #sff

While NaNoWriMo is very much a bust for me this year, I should at least be able to get back to writing now that I'm getting sleep again and I'm not dealing with a house full of sick people and moving parts. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #FantasyLit #NaNoWriMo22

First words to my high fantasy novel Ember, Ash and Flame:

Reactive and brilliant, the embers burned brighter with each breath from the dying man's lungs. He had known he was dying for some time, but it had been a shock, certainly, to feel the burning brightness and the tug to the other side.

Finished KJ Parker’s Sixteen Ways To Defend A Walled City last night. Funny, clever, brutal book about imperialism from the point of view of a bridge builder turned accidental war commander. The ending made me grumpy but I’m pretty sure that was on purpose. Recommended. #fantasylit #sff #bookstodon
