Being in conversation with @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social felt like a gift for me as a writer and reader in this moment of rumours of war and unceasing terrible political news.
There may be some words in this conversation that offer your heart & imagination something more to hold onto too.
it's a great book

Writers & Books Artistic Director and author Tyler Barton reads into a mic at a podium with a quilted book-patterned podium cover. A red curtain and string lights set the stage. David DeGraff, Cassandra Scherr, Jennifer Hudak, and I are seated to the left.
Three booksโWe're Here: The Best Speculative Fiction of the Year, ECO24: The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction, and Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine sit face-out on a counter with stacks of books between them. Behind the counter, between windows, is a red poster that reads: Eat, Sleep, Read, Local.
I'm holding a copy of ECO24: The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction in front of a bookshelf. The anthology's cover is black with an otherworldly pink blooming plant.
Had a really lovely time at yesterday's Speculative Fiction Salon at Writers & Books with local legends @jenniferhudak.bsky.social, @daviddegraff.bsky.social, and Cassandra Scherr! Thanks for packing the house for speculative queer and eco fiction. @neonhemlock.bsky.social @apexmag.bsky.social

I have two recommendations for you this month. But first, some updates.

Lots of supposed liberals/leftists have insisted that trans people stop fighting for our rights because "kitchen table issues" or whatever.
What we're seeing in Kansas right now is the natural outcome of you throwing us under the bus.
Fix your hearts.
what's not to love about dark academia, obsession, possession, gothic horror, vague terror, isolation, and unease? All these books share one or more of these themes, with Jewish main characters navigating them all.
Lovely to see UNCOMMON CHARM by @anoteinpink.bsky.social & @eudaemaniacal.bsky.social on this staff list at Pima County Public Library.

I haven't watched it, maybe because I was afraid it would mess with my memory of the book. Reading this (and one of the linked interviews) actually makes me less afraid of that now.
fwiw, I feel like you do the equivalent of this frog scene in NECESSITY very well, one of the things that drew me in.
ha this is messed up
