Remember when this happened? Can't believe we're coming up on a full year of Audition For The Fox being out in the world!

Thanks!! He could be more wine-dark, but he's trying his best <3

Spent time at the Hiroshima Atomic Dome and Museum & Memorial. A deeply impactful place of witness and horror, and a testament to a city of beauty and people of resilience. Wearing my Palestinian Sunbird shirt in solidarity today, my heart is heavy.

I was just there the other day. It’s breathtaking!

Yesterday’s visit to the Ghibli Museum was a dream come true. No photos, no videos, just time inside the mind of one of the best to ever do it. A short film about a diving bell spider, watching kids play on a giant catbus play area, and original sketches from every movie, it was story heaven.

Absolutely!! Also idk how your marketing team did this, but I kept seeing this guy in Tokyo, so your book has some reach!!

Ever finish a book like “well, damn, THIS is gonna win all the awards & change our industry fundamentally & its illustrations of horror enlighten & shame us while reveling in the beauty of language & connection we’re capable of when we see others as people?” Yeah. @slhuang.com DID that. What a book

I don’t always love photos of myself but I really like how this turned out! Signed copies of AFTF at the wonderful Brooklyn bookstore, Love and Legends!!

Happy Anti-Prime Day! The wonderful folks at @bookshop.org have free shipping on all orders today. And if you're looking for a way to support indie stores, maybe you're interested in a Crawford Award, Ignyte Award, and Mythopoeic Award-nominated foxen romp through time? bookshop.org/p/books/audi...

If you're looking for a book to show up for, let it be the new epic from thee legendary @wildeeps.bsky.social, Kai Ashante Wilson, THE FALL OF ELVENESSE. Check out that cover art by the talented, Paulo D. Campos & preorder the book right freakin' now! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-fall-o...

I worked on another @criticalrole.bsky.social book! 🎲⚔️ A cocktail book w/ delicious recipes from Cassandra Reeder, I was thrilled to write the story, relationship, and memories of the Ruby of the Sea and the Gentleman, as they find one another again and explore the beverages of Exandria together ❤️💙

Halfway through @premeemohamed.com’s new fantasy spy novel, and I cannot stress enough how good it is. Premee is one of the best in the game; there are things in this book I have never encountered in the genre, and my reader’s heart is DELIGHTED. You know what they say, preorders light the way! 💜

There are times when you feel like a fox, scurrying around the ankles of giants, a little bewildered but excited to be amongst their mighty stride. This is one of them: Audition For The Fox is a finalist for the Mythopoeic Award! I'm deeply honored and also holy shit 💜🦊

Thanks for all the birthday love yesterday, friends! 36 is off to a great start. Especially when this was the cake my wife’s family got for me lol

Hit level 36! As ever, I remain a grateful Marty to have such kind, loving, and excellent friends, family, and readers in my life. My birthday wish is this: share with me something that’s made you happy this year, or given you hope. A moment, a piece of art, a dream realized. Love you all! 💜

My Fifth Season roleplaying guide arrived & it absolutely rocks! Pun intended, (sorry, @nkjemisin.bsky.social) 💜 Congrats to @cypheroftyr.bsky.social @dmjazzyhands.bsky.social and the rest of the @greenroninpub.bsky.social crew! Very excited to dive in, but from what I’ve read, it’s stunning!

Hi Kat! My book Audition For The Fox is a novella about trickster gods and time travel, fighting fascism through being a little scamp and building community, and how sometimes you’re not a fuck up, you just haven’t met the right Fox god you vibe with and who throws you back in time.

Met a corgi named Gizmo and a golden retriever named Nacho, and you all needed to see them, too.

Happy Friday, for some reason, I've grown self-conscious about putting my book out there, so I'm trying to be brave, here ya go, tricksters & time travel and I hope you give this non-binary Fox god and their potential new very-nice-but-kind-of-a-fuck-up acolyte a try <3 bookshop.org/p/books/audi...

Blessed by sainted publicists, some of my most anticipated have arrived!! The next book from the Scott Hawkins of Mt. Char, the new novel from ever-brilliant @annaleen.bsky.social, the sci-fantasy debut from Jesse Aragon, and the horror debut from THEE @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social!

Hit 3,000 ratings! How wild is that??

Recent book mail has me excited for the rest of the year! We got some gooooooooood reading to come from @wiswell.bsky.social @deenahelm.bsky.social @robertjbennett.bsky.social & 'Pemi Aguda <3

Splashdown!! What an incredible sight, welcome back Artemis II crew!!

::sees discourse around readers just Not Getting Prologue:: ::decides fuck it, let's add a prologue, baby:: "The last wave of refugees aboard the ships of the Farewell Armada shared a singular, horrifying honor: when Usuru, First-Among-Mountains, exploded, it did not do so without audience."

This rocket is about to take off, gang!! Only a few more hours left to nominate for the Hugos. If you enjoyed AUDITION FOR THE FOX by yours truly, I would be so grateful if you nominated it for Best Novella <333

YIP YIP

It's time. We're going back to the Hotel Centuria. How's my new outline looking you think? 😅

Thanks, Gabino, cheers!! Audition For The Fox is my debut novella that just entered a 2nd printing! Time travel and trickster gods abound in a story of a young woman trying to find her place in the world & needs to ensure a rebellion in the past to do so 🦊💜 tachyonpublications.com/product/audi...
