Tomorrow night, I’ll be at the Simsbury Public Library in Connecticut, discussing Missionaries.

Well this is fun, getting quoted by Peter in @TimeNowBlog all these years later. Fun also to revisit the other scenes by such great writers.

THE ROAD AHEAD, an anthology of short fiction I co-edited w/ Teresa Fazio Aaron Gwyn & Adrian Bonenberger, was published 5 years ago today. Wow, time flies. Here's a little "where are they now" for the contributors, so I can shamelessly plug their new work. pegasusbooks.com/books/the-road…

You did such a great job with that Brian Castner, @DoctorFaz, Aaron Gwyn, and Adrian Bonenberger. I couldn’t be prouder to have been included. Such a rock star group of people to make it all happen.

Happy 5-year bookiversary to the excellent collection THE ROAD AHEAD, containing some of Wrath Bearing Tree 's best & longest friends, edited by Adrian Bonenberger , Brian Castner, and including our editors Michael Carson, Adrian, Lauren Kay , David James, & Matthew J. Hefti .

True that no one can beat Ben, but your drawings are NOT terrible Andria Williams! They were totally awesome and brought me great joy.

I’m late to this party, but I just finished reading The Longest Night, novel by Andria Williams . Fascinating story, amazingly researched. Hard to put down. Not sure what scared me more: Cold War nuclear policy or suburbia. Both depictions are lethal.

An incredible book by an incredible person!

It is exhausting to see people decrying Biden picking “a less qualified” or “unqualified” Black woman for SCOTUS, without even seeing who the nominee is. You are essentially saying that you think there is literally no Black woman in this country qualified to sit on the Court.

A big thanks to Adrian Bonenberger and the good folks at Wrath Bearing Tree.
