Rabbit Test and Other Stories has been LAUNCHED, and I am finally settling back into my day-to-day groove. I'm collecting nice things in this thread! linky links: Tachyon: bit.ly/3QcZmSx Bookshop: bit.ly/4tvfAET B&N: bit.ly/41TJBCu Amazon: bit.ly/4ccbhqX

I am at World Fantasy! I'm going to chill at the Tachyon booth in the dealer's hall at 11 if anyone wants to say hi I have a reading during the 1-2:30pm slot in Salon 1&2 if you want to hear me read from my short story collection And you can find me at the mass autographing tonight!

I don't think I can click this one or I'll have a bad day. But I definitely thought I had no residual stress about my own high school shooting until my kids started school, and then this visceral fear kicked in imagining them going through it. Super cool that it's only gotten worse in 25 years.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

If somebody wants to give me the $30K that they clearly don't need, I would not object

But I'm a Cheerleader for Tax Purposes

I have had the same fully knobbed up car for 16 years, and I keep joking that I am not replacing it until either a) knobs come back, or b) the wheels shoot off and the whole thing collapses into spare parts beneath me like a cartoon I might actually make it to option a !!

Rabbit Test by @samtasticbooks.com I love the archival thinking that runs throughout this collection, the way history and the past permeates so many of these stories. Spectacular prose, creative formats, characters who I truly feel for. An astounding collection. samtasticbooks.com/collections/

A great roundup if you like short fic, and Beth's collection is going to be fantastic!
