Beige background with brown scroll detailing at all four corners. The cover of PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE is in the middle with a crown over the head of the main character, Phee, a young Black woman in profile against floral wallpaper, reminiscent of 1850s ambrotype photography. She is wearing a high-necked collar, and her coily hair is upswept to reveal dangling skull earrings. A skeletal hand rests on her shoulder.

Pantomime is out again THIS WEEK! This is the third and fourth time it'll be out, but this time I've rewritten them, so they're more than a little different. I'll be sharing both new and old posts and interviews to hopefully entice you to entering R.H. Ragona's Circus of Magic.

BIG BIG DAY! Pantomime is out TODAY in the US! 🎉
Don't worry UK readers, it will be coming to shelves near you on Thursday💜
Let's fly, me lovelies🎪

A cover illustrated by James Fenner. A woman with long red hair and padded clothing sits on the ground, petting the head of a smiling serpentine dragon. But the dragon has more than one head! On the left, a second giant dragon head emerges, frowning, looking at her while wearing a monocle. On the right, a third giant dragon head emerges, jaws wide, screaming in anger. The text is teal, contrasting sharply against the red and maroon of the creatures. The text on the cover reads "THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS. JOHN WISWELL, author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN."

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.

Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

I'll try that!

For a week, the first thing I did after coming home from work was pick up this book.

Listen, I’ve read a lot of science fiction. I’ve read a lot of horror. I had never read anything like this.

Image showing Fen, the main character from the novel, with a few lines from the starred Publishers Weekly review: "Ashing-Giwa wows in this brilliantly immersive novel set 500 years after humanity left Earth to begin again on Newearth, an exodus enabled by the help of mysterious aliens known as the Makers. Despite the new lease on life offered by this opportunity, impatient settlers recklessly sped up the terraforming process, leading to dire environmental consequences felt in the present day... Ashing-Giwa’s dystopian sci-fi worldbuilding is staggering, and her heroine proves easy to root for. Readers will be enthralled.”

My next novel, THE KING MUST DIE, comes out from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social this November. And now it has its first review!
