NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE KEEPER’S SIX by Kate Elliott. A novella of motherhood, leftist organizing, Jewish mysticism & gangster dragons, this book is deliciously layered. Our drink, the Hex, is a sour for summer between realms.

ABMs! (Arguably one of my favorite forms of a book.) So many dragons in so few pages. A perfect bite-sized, fire-breathing treasure. Charlotte Bond

COVER REVEAL for Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire! Portals and danger, and a girl who can find both in the latest book in the Hugo and Nebula Award-Winning Wayward Children series. Art by Robert Hunt

And now as promised/threatened I speak AT LENGTH on this book and what it means to me: THE ARCHIVE UNDYING is founded in my body's attempt to self-destruct -- and its failure to do so. It is a book of the mind as inextricable from the body, and of transformation.

Hey, my book's out in the world at long last! I've collected some of the very nice things people have been kind enough to say about it, along with links to buy it in hardcover, ebook, or audiobook. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy it! vajra.me/books/the-sain…

A new cover I did for Alastair Reynolds’s Tor.com short story! AD: Irene Gallo

Hi #PortfolioDay2023 I do book illustrations

signed some copies for Harvard Bookstore in Cambridge today, so if you'd like one and are in the neighbourhood ...

Sharing this very important story with all of you. It should be required reading in all high schools but sadly would be against the law in Floriduh. Go read it!!! Read it now while you still can.

These stories are amazing. And free! As are _so many_ others you can find on Tor.com.

Hello! As of next Friday, I will be without job, as the bookshop where I work is suddenly closing. In need of an editor, an artist, a content creator, a bookish assistant, a social media-gentlelady (that's me!)? DM me! Reach out! Patreon incoming! Please help! I'm excellent!

A third of the way through The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera and really enjoying it. An ex-chosen one who walked away from his violent, sacred mission (there's a support group for that) gets caught up in radical politics in a city filled with mysterious, magical doors.

Also, #FIYAHLitMag is now accepting portfolio submissions from Black artists for consideration until October 31st. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with christian is writing, “Boys to Men” on a future cover. We pay $400.00 USD! #ArtistOnTwitter #BlackArtist fiyahlitmag.com/submissions/

RAKESFALL is out in the US in 61 days (!) If you enjoyed THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS, please preorder this and tell your friends! Preorders are an important signal to publishers (disproportionately so!) but they truly help keep an author afloat vajra.me/books/rakesfal…

More good word for CRYPT OF THE MOON SPIDER, out this August. Forgive me for being openly mercenary, but pre-orders mean the world to the success of a book.
