Yesterday I moderated an Immortal Villain panel. So sorry to all, I’m not that moderate, but I loved @r-emrys.bsky.social’s digging into the FUN of Shakespeare villains and was delighted by Christopher Caldwell’s points about SINNERS. (Yes I did a lil Sexy Marlowe impression.)

It’s scary to be a cancer survivor coming back to publishing w/an epic-portal-everything-fantasy cancer book on embracing our darkest times. It was scary knowing some said I couldn’t pull it off. Nobody knows where a story may go. Health scares, no fun. My incredulous joy at wicked good news? SO fun

No surprise to me you were fighting valiantly! Are these people aware publishers also cancel series sometimes… is it our duty to meet the publisher in the skies at sunrise with blades drawn? I did not sign up for getting up early.

Most readers are wonderful people who love stories and it was a joy to be with them this weekend. Those who do not think β€˜would I be cool if someone spoke to me or a loved one of mine this way’ ruin what should be a time of getting to meet at last on a real bridge across the river of imagination.

I was in Seattle at #worldcon & glad the whole room booed. I am a big ASOIAF fan but also a person & so is George R.R. Martin (and clearly a person who loves Worldcon). Writers are people & that is no way to speak to a person. Before saying that shit, also consider: tomorrow is promised to no man.

Is all chaos with me as usual? I fear YES, but I am so excited to be in Seattle at @seattlein2025.org! So far I found a @seananmcguire.bsky.social & @hollyblack.bsky.social and an octopus drink.

I find this collation of quotes so inspiring, it’s exactly like (not to hit a sore point) when people were complaining about Wheel of Time, and their complaining drew the True Audience in. I wish to emulate you but probably instead of porn it’s the musical. 🀣

A collection of 1 and 2 star reviews:

"crazy, sexy" - 2 stars. there is a decent story but it is lost because of the decadent sex scenes. if you are into that, you will enjoy this book.

"stupidest book ever written" - 1 star. this was hunger games meets porn and it was just stupid... no thanks."

"hedonistic..." 2 stars - hedonistic dystopian porn saga. the characters are strange and endlessly horny. Nuff said.

We have officially rolled the Beyond Series back out of KU! It will be available on other bookstores digitally again soon, AND available next month (hopefully!) on our direct shop!

But before Pride Month is over, you can get 1 million words of the Bisexual Love Army for $19.99!
