Bad Hand Books

So grateful to everyone for making today a wonderful revival pub day for NO GODS FOR DROWNING! I'm so happy it's back out in the world, and all your support is cherished 🖤 thank you

Goodbye Eeeeyoooore….

Good afternoon —

On today’s episode of ‘Welcome to the end of the world,’ I can only stress —

Now more than ever, live your life. Don’t stress the small stuff. You really cannot.

I also think if there’s something you want to do, take that class, eat that cake, you should do it.

Now or never.

If I ever pass on an opportunity to gush about Papa Poe, please check for a pulse. 💀 Thank you so much to @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social for having me on this week’s @scaresshapedus.bsky.social episode! It was an absolute blast. I hope you’ll give it a listen! redcircle.com/shows/41a2d4...

I had one news organization all ready to do a profile, but they told me, explicitly, they were calling it off because of my politics.

Why Can't We Be Friends? @robertwelbourn.bsky.social reviews the re-release of Hailey Piper's NO GODS FOR DROWNING (@badhandbooks.bsky.social)

I still think it’s hilarious that we can get coverage in national and international news venues but South Dakota media outlets (where we are based) won’t touch us because they’re afraid of our politics.

IT’S WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH!
Be bold
Take up space
Ask for more money
Closed mouths don’t get fed
Follow your intuition
You are enough
Authenticity is enough
Ditch those self limiting beliefs
Do it scared
Don’t give up

I completely forgot in all the wonderful hubbub yesterday, but THERE IS A PLAYLIST for No Gods for Drowning 🔪🌊

You can find it on Qobuz!

That last Joe Bob promo video had strong vibes. And now I'm sad.

Image of Richard Quist's Goodread's review of Dead Red and Razor by Tim Lebbon. The text of the review is: Dead Red and Razor by Tim Lebbon is a fast moving tale of violence and the quest for revenge. It's a quick and fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for fans of fiction that focuses on the killer's point of view. Dead Red Virgilio has just completed a contract, proof of which is rolling around in the foot well of the passenger seat of her car, when she is asked to take on another, urgent job. When she hears that the target is the man who killed the one person she ever loved, she immediately agrees and heads to the abandoned construction site in the middle of the desert where he has secluded himself. We soon learn that the assignment isn't as clear cut as it appears, and have to question just who is the target on this job. With Dead Red and Razor, Tim Lebbon delivers a fast-paced, violent, at times funny and sad tale with enough twists and surprises to keep you guessing until the end. Thanks to Bad Hand Books for the eBook review copy!

The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.
