Triple Threat: book signing, short story, book announcement..
Here we go. There is a lot going on, and I am roping these three things into one newsletter so as not to spam you with multiple newsletters.
I confess I am working constantly, trying to take weekends off although usually not managing it. Something about the stress of the current world situation makes me feel the need to work more rather than nest more, as it were. Others will sort out different ways of coping, as I hope we all can.
There is a great deal of community solidarity on offer these days. It’s important to remember that big bold dramatic actions are not the only ones that matter; small scale local action matters as much, and in many cases even more, because people often have more agency and opportunity working locally. Hang in there, peeps. A better world is possible.
What am I working on, you may ask? I’ll get to that.
You can hear us chat about books, writing, whatever (who knows?). You can ask questions. You can send you friends and family if you can’t make it. Signed books will be available, and not just our most recent works like the Witch Roads duology and Ann’s The Only Purple House in Town as well as I Think I’m In Love With an Alien. Backlist, too!
If you can’t attend, you can order a signed copy of our books by calling or ordering online with Powells. Options are: signature only OR personalized with your or another person’s name. This is the only opportunity this year to grab a signed book by me (I am hoping to attend LA Worldcon in August 2026).

My near future political SF story “Barnacle” at Reactor Magazine with an absolutely stunning illustration by artist Jean Bernabeu and edited by the excellent Oliver Dougherty.
You can read it for free at Reactor Magazine.

FINALLY, a book announcement, for those who have been wondering what in the heck I am working on all the time.
THE FLOWER COURT is finished and turned in, awaiting editorial notes. I am working on two things now: LADY CHAOS, and the second book mentioned in the above deal.

As always, I could not do with without you. Thank you.
