Hi #LitAgents! Here's my #AgentsGuide to THE DEVIL OF LOST THINGS, a dark Faustian bargain fantasy inspired by a Philippine witch trial 🔪🖤🕯️Perfect for fans of decadent gambling hells, toxic situationships, and exploring the monsters within and among us 🔥 #AmQuerying

Pleased to see my flash fiction “All The Difference” about a newly licensed space-time traveler search for wisdom and connection is out in Small Wonders.

If you’re a speculative fiction or Robert Frost fan, check it out, and let me know what you think.

@ArulaRatnakar I’m looking forward to following your progress.

Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.

@jasonsanford The writers strike quote made me laugh. Thank you.

[David M. Barry @DavidMBarry]

@cwritingnews This seems almost too good to be true. Never seen anything like it. Is this legit?

[David M. Barry @DavidMBarry]

@P_H_Lee Ordered.

Hey #writingcommunity! Quite a few people have asked me to read their work & I'm so flattered.Also, I really get it: Writing can be lonely & dispiriting, but sadly, I just don't have the time with my own commitments. However, here's a lil 🧵of what's helped me to this point. 1/14

@AuthorGaylord @DailySF Well, thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed the story. I enjoyed writing it, and was pleased that @DailySF decided to give it a home.

[David M. Barry @DavidMBarry]

Those of you submitting to SFWA eligible publications, please take note: never give up. I have been aspiring for 40 years to see my work in a pro-SF publication. Today, that thing happened. It’s never too late. Thank you, @DailySF #WritingCommunity https://t.co/x5iKXgKxZf

@scott_lyerly Ah, mind-wandering. I know it well. I can only listen to audio while I’m engaged in some simple, low-intensity physical task: dishes, laundry, walking — that kind of thing. Otherwise, I would wander often and far.

[David M. Barry @DavidMBarry]

@scott_lyerly I’ve always been a relatively slow reader, but it turns out I’m a fast listener. I listen at 2.4x speed for most audiobooks. If you start at regular speed and gradually increase you’ll be surprised at how fast you can listen. Exceptions for me: quantum physics, and Faulkner.
