But frankly, if your business is entirely run on Stealing Things That Don't Belong To You And Selling Them, I'm fine with you not having a business anymore.

Audible’s β€˜Harry Potter’ Series Expands Cast With Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy, Simon Pegg and More Audible announced additional casting for its 'Harry Potter' audiobook series, including Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy and Simon Pegg.

this is a lot of people to be deeply disappointed in (and a lot of nonsense casting, not that that matters anywhere near as much)

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'm back with some September updates! Plus a deep dive into an AI cautionary tale.

I’m a fan of everything in this post. Also a great read if you’re interested in the contract situation with MRM and those magazines now under that umbrella.
Thank you for holding your ground to set precedent for the rest of us. @cornellwriter.bsky.social

My collection UNCERTAIN SONS comes out soon, and early copies are already going out to folks who pre-ordered (racing the de minimis change in tariffs!). Now's a great time to pre-order if you're thinking about it. Here's what @wiswell.bsky.social said (art by @cdsart.bsky.social). Thanks, John!

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

Oh hey it turns out another thing Covid cautious people have been saying nonstop for several years is true: lockdowns did not cause β€œimmunity debt,” and Covid infections DO cause immune disruptions that make you more vulnerable to other illnesses.

We are on scene at an uncontrolled wildfire in the Susie Lake area of Bayers Lake. Residents are advised to stay clear of Bayer’s Lake area. Multiple road closures are in effect.

A print of a colourful digital drawing with a severed hand holding a presumably human heart in its grip. The heart is red with blue veins and arteries. The hand is light skinned with long dark blue painted nails. Blood drips down the severed wrist. This print is framed in red frame and sits on a desk with red curtains and a rainbow flag in the background.

Sitting pride of place on my desk is my new print by Kate Leth. A recent acquisition from DCAF! I had a blast. #DartmouthComicArtsFestival #DCAF

Oh my God!? We've been added to the Library of Congress. A literary magazine that I make for fun in my basement as my midlife crisis has been added to the historical record, called the uh, ahem, Taco Bell Quarterly. We are the most prestigious literary magazine of all time.

Question. Maybe it’s dumb idk.
What are other countries doing in response to the concentration camps being used and built in El Salvador? Can’t they tax imports from El Salvador? Would pressure from Europe, Canada and countries around the world on El Salvador make a difference here?

The cover is OUT!!! So stoked! Pre-orders now open at Undertow/Amazon/B&N. The Gillan foreword and @kellylink.bsky.social's kind words blew me away. Also you can see more of Ove TΓΈpfer's wild surreal oil paintings at his IG below.

Portait of a woman covered in sludge. Only her arms are uncovered. But within the sludge, her face and body are partially visible, revealing a floral pattern on her face and body, pink and white flowers on blue background. This is a repaint of an illustration I did a decade ago. In the original there in equal sign superimposed at the bottom of the canvas. The equal sign is still there, but it is empty now.
