Did you know that @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social has a cocktail recipe in every issue? Join me this Thursday (3/12) at 7PM ET as I chat with editor Oliver Brackenbury over on Instagram. We'll talk S&S, the NESS crowdfund, and raise a glass to the final week of this year's funding! See you there!

Three books are lined up. DISCOMFORT FOOD by Greg Stolze, a collection of S&S stories entitled BEATING HEARTS AND BATTLE-AXES edited by Jay Wold, and the new novel, KINGS OF THIS WORLD, from Elizabeth Knox.
Here we've got a Kickstarted collection of recent fiction from @gregstolze.bsky.social, some S&S from Brackenbury Books (I'm especially keen to read the @valerievaldes.bsky.social story in there), and the latest @elizabethknoxnz.bsky.social. I had the Knox shipped from NZ because I couldn't wait.

This project really should be at 1000 backers.
(I've backed NESS since their first campaign and have thoroughly enjoyed the content. Not something to sleep on.)
Okay what's not mentioned here is that we are at 815 so ONE THOUSAND IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY
