"Abagail's Gethsemane", by Wayne Brady & @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social:
To take on a story involving such an iconic character and not only do it justice, but to add even further depth and complexity, is a shining testament to the absolute brilliance of these authors!

Hanging and laughing with friends is never work

Cadwell Turnbull (laughing) and Maurice Broaddus in conversation at Second Flight Books

Cadwell Turnbull and Maurice Broaddus sign books at Second Flight Books

I've never laughed so hard during a book event at the shop. @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social and @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social were hilarious in conversation tonight and we've got some signed copies from them both you can snag!

Can't wait to talk with @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social tonight!

Simon and Schuster is in the top left hand corner next to a logo of a person in mid-stride. Below is it Product Details and below it in a gray bar is Raves and Reviews. Below that is a blurb quote from Brent Lambert. "Much like the sea, there are depths to L.D.'s writing that can't be fathomed. You will walk away from THE YEAR OF THE MER heartbroken, pondering the nature of power and desperately ready for more. L.D.'s a true talent that deserves a generational audience. Be here at Yemi's beginning." – Brent Lambert, author of A Necessary Chaos

This is a moment not lost on me. @ldlewiswrites.com and myself have been friends for almost (if not over) a decade now. I was a fan first though and getting to be the first blurb for YEAR OF THE MER is something I manifested for us years ago. Pre-order yall!

Great Fantasy Novels With Unlikely Heroes

Seems like a good reason to return to social media. Happy to share my article in NYT books featuring some of my favorite fantasy authors, including works by Alaya Dawn Johnson, Rebecca Roanhorse, John Wiswell and more. #fantasybooks

What a great day!

Yup, that's what I heard. Can't wait to read yours!

Looking forward to hearing @maryrobinettekowal.com as part of the Ray Bradbury Center's Festival 451 Indy!

I do think that after a quiet year in 2024, Skiffy and Fanty is in search of new listeners and readers and friends. I hope you will check us out in 2025, the podcast and especially our Friday night live events. (7pm Central)

1. Thank you!
2. Tor.com published it
3. YES! At long last!

Anyway, I can’t wait to read the other stories in this issue! (I see you, @justinkey.bsky.social! So proud of you!)

“Buffalo Soldier” was technically a follow up to a novelette called “Steppin’ Razor” and “Soul Rebel” not only brings back many of the characters from that but tells the story of Lij before the events of “Babylon Systems” (my last appearance in THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION.

And check out this amazing cover by John Jennings for my story!!! [There was an issue with the cover before this version and John, once again, came through like a champ.]

I’ve been asked many times if I would ever write a follow up to my novella, “Buffalo Soldier.” Well, I finally did. It’s called “Soul Rebel” and it is coming out in the next issue of THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION (edited by the legendary Sheree Renee Thomas)!

Cover of the summer 2025 F&SF featuring art for the story "Soul Rebel" by Maurice Broaddus.

F&SF has released the new cover for their summer 2025 issue. The art is for the story "Soul Rebel" by @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social.

The magazine decided not to use their previously announced cover art for the issue after learning it was likely AI generated.
