Normally I'm bedeviled by timezones, but today they allowed me to attend two launch parties on the same day. Turns out 7pm isn't 7pm everywhere! So I got to attend Marie Parks' launch party for her FLIGHTLESS, then Liz Prato's for her new novel PURGATOIRE from @ForestAvePress.

[Forest Avenue Press @ForestAvePress]

Tonight at @Powells, celebrate PURGATOIRE, the 2026 Powell's Pick for Portland! We are so honored to be Liz's publisher for this phenomenal historical fiction title set in southern Colorado.

[SFWP @SFWP]

Don't miss out on seeing Liz Prato in Conversation with Rene Denfeld at @Powells as they celebrate the release of Liz's upcoming novel, PURGATOIRE (@ForestAvePress) on 4/7 at 7pm PDT! https://t.co/jlaXV5wrJk

[Daniel A. Olivas @olivasdan]

I am so excited that my interview with Jacke Wilson, host of The History of Literature podcast, is now live. In it, we discuss my novel, Chicano Frankenstein, and my play, Waiting for Godínez. Enjoy!

Just to elaborate:

*I received nearly 5,000 queries in 2025.
*Editor positions are being cut but the workload never shrinks
*There are editors whose average response time is 5+ months because of these issues
*My own response time is suffering bc of workload volume

[Jennifer Pullen @Jpullen19]

My anthology of shapeshifter fairy tales comes out in 8 days. I'm so proud of this book from @LFPbooks, it was a blast to write the informative, wild, & weird footnotes for each story! You can order it online, your local bookstore, & get it at #AWP26 #books

[Horror Homeroom @horrorhomeroom]

Check out this fascinating discussion by @olivasdan (author of CHICANO FRANKENSTEIN from @ForestAvePress ) of the process of conceiving his current novel, CHICANA WEREWOLF - and how it's influenced by Lon Chaney Jr., The Wolf Man, and stories of addiction #werewolf #WolfMan
