YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Did I miss any place to cheer for you?

I know this is just the first step, but the validation, the gratification that comes from sticking it out all these years to get to this moment - it's huge. HUGE. Thank you to @jenazantian.bsky.social for believing in this book of my heart - I can't wait to see what comes next.

YouTube video by MVmedia Black Men Reading Speculative Fiction 2

New fantasy Kickstarter launches the day the video for last winter's BLACK MEN READING SPECULATIVE FICTION TWO goes up. Auspicious & well-received. Readings from Maurice Broaddus, Rob Cameron, Milton Davis, Gerald L Coleman, Errick Nunnally & Justin Key.

Kickstarter link threaded next.

I have a potentially huge meeting this afternoon. Wish me luck please. 🙏

Gorgeous cover!

Sixteen days have passed and despite filing complaints, Google continues to serve up this slop description that claims we've published "AI-generated stories." We've done nothing of the sort. In fact, we've been extremely vocal about our stance on "AI."

NEVER IN OUR PAGES.

Ight are there any publications hiring that can provide insurance and stable income in need of someone who does long form journalism?

This day job corporate shit is for the birds I can't do it no more.

This week:
1.birthday
2a. Neurologist with mom. Things aren’t going to get better
2b. Cory Booker brought hope
2c. Debut novel release and book launch
3. Orthopedist injected a cyst between the bones of my foot. It hurts
3b. Preparing for potential tornadoes this evening. 
Y’all I’m tired.

Want to know the difference between writing a character hiding the truth from the reader and one hiding the truth from themselves? Wondering how to let your readers know what's true when your narrator can't stop lying? Let's get into it this Monday with a deep dive on writing unreliable narrators!

Today is the last day for early voting, with Election Day coming up on the 29th.

So here’s the deal:

Any unbiased observer of the current climate will tell you our federal government has fallen into the hands of the most extreme administration in this nation’s history.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

My first thought this morning was class action lawsuit, and it looks like that's happening. GOOD.

After working on the second book of this series for nearly two years while simultaneously working through edits on book one, I’m finally writing the climactic chapters.
Y’all, it’s so damn good!

Thank you so much!😊 ❤️

Some great sounding books on this list! Every single one is going on my TBR.

In THE EARTHLY BLAZE, we follow Tang Sai'er's perilous journey in her cause as rebel leader. The themes of seeking justice and fighting tyranny cannot be more relevant in the current turbulent world climate.

Read this explosive sequel to find out how Sai'er and her allies tackle the villains.

Germany did destroy itself almost a century ago. It wasn’t because it took in too many migrants. It was because it fell for arguments uncomfortably close to Vance’s.

Jon's hand holds his kindle, where the book cover for the arc is displayed.

Starting a new book tonight! This one is an arc, for The Malice of Moons & Mages. This one is special because it's by book friend @nvhaskell.bsky.social! One of my favorite follows on BookTok, and I'm excited to read some of her work! It's out April 1. #BookSky #RomanticFantasy #Fantasy

Thank you!! I hope you don’t hate it 🫣
