Hello, book people! I am the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and speculative books coming out in the second half of the year! If you have an adult or YA SFF/H book out July-Dec (or publicist), share the link/info here!

Announcing MYSTIC MONKEY PRESS.
Starting today and going forward I'll be releasing many of my backlist titles via my new self-publishing imprint. This will include a lot of long out-of-print books (like the "Jack Rogan" novel The Collective and two omnibuses collecting the four Prowlers novels)

Good morning. Here's my very tired thoughts on Scares That Care's AuthorCon VI: www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

On behalf of this year’s beneficiaries, as well as the entire team, sincere thanks to all who helped us once again raise $ for sick kids, folks fighting breast cancer, and burn survivors. I will now spend the rest of the week in the tub with this bottle of bourbon. Love & respect.

Viola Davis so happy about Michael B. Jordan winning a SAG award that she transcends time space and white supremacy.

Bonus tip: ask your GP to put in the order for the next year during your routine physical, then make a note to confirm in your Reminders β€” these often have a long waitlist!

On that note, you should also be getting an annual physical! Schedule the next year’s at the end of the current year’s.

Waiting for my first tit squish, better known as a mammogram! Reminder that regular mammograms are recommended starting at age 40, so be sure to add it to your health routine if you qualify. The panini press (as my friend calls it) is far less uncomfortable than late-stage cancer treatment.
