Happy to share that my novelette, "Three Nights in Orissa" has just launched from Prismatica Magazine. It's fantasy, and is one of my heart stories -- it's set in the same world as my first novel, and tells a love story. It would mean a lot to me if you took a read, and shared.

The Amazon subscription change is breaking my heart. So many good markets will probably be lost because of this.

Sad news: Fantasy Magazine is closing after 3 years. An editorial by editors Christie Yant and Arley Sorg states "Fantasy never reached a point of paying for itself, and with the Kindle Periodicals mess it’s just not sustainable."

Very proud of this ruined library--
From the thing I'm working on theses days.

Spreading this word from elsewhere: Just a quick reminder that if you subscribe to any magazine via Kindle Periodicals, that program ends at the end of August. If you decide to become a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, be aware that the magazines will be earning about half as much money per subscriber as before.

~@josh_rountree returns to our pages with a piece of "cozy grief," that may have delicate ties to his recently published novel, The Legend of Charlie Fish. Links apparently kill engagement, so let's link that up in tweet two!

Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a "utopian socialist." He lies about being a "free speech absolutist." He lies about which companies he founded:

UPS said it reached a tentative five-year labor deal with the Teamsters union, representing about 340,000 US workers, ahead of a threatened strike that could have cost the economy billions https://t.co/REyHLj1YEk

Presidential candidate @RobertKennedyJr recently went on television & made claims about the Covid vaccine.

Watch as I fact-check each one with evidence!

Was he being honest? You decide.

Whistleblower letter makes clear that Abbott’s troopers are funneling asylum seekers towards dangerous parts of the river, where they are more likely to drown.

That’s how this mother and her two children died.
