Blog postHello from Ottawa, where I’ve been for the past four days but which I shall leave again in six! All for good reason, though — thanks to your enthusiasm the events for This Is How You Lose the Time War have all been wonderfully successful across seven cities, and here are just a few more! And, most excitingly, Max Gladstone will be joining me for the US side of these, so if you’ve been craving the crossed swords of our signatures in your copy, here’s your chance!

Blog postFriends! I’m very briefly back home in Ottawa after several weeks on the road, during which I taught at the Locus Awards weekend and Clarion West, did book launch events in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, and Ottawa, and attended the wedding of two dear friends to each other (which I pride myself on having catalyzed, with their blessing). More on all that anon — when I got back from the wedding I was so exhausted that I slept for 10 hours straight two nights in a row, and have even been nappi2 years ago Read more

Blog postFriends! Today’s the day!
You’ve waited. You’ve suffered agonies of time. But now you can suffer its pleasures too.
This Is How You Lose the Time War is my novella collaboration with Max Gladstone, and it launches in North America today (UK folks get it on the 18th, though there as here some copies have skillfully wiggled out of their temporal constraints). This means your pre-orders (and enamel pins + postcards!) should be arriving very soon. If you haven’t pre-ordered it? Yo2 years ago Read more -

Blog postI’ve just come back from Åcon X, an absolutely wonderful relaxacon in the Åland Islands, and in the midst of adjusting from jet lag and beginning a new month there’s been a flurry of activity on the Time War front that I wanted to aggregate all in one place.

I’m delighted to see that This Is How You Lose the Time War has thus far received three starred reviews, from Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal. Starred reviews in these cases me2 years ago Read more -
Blog postTwo years ago, the area in which I live saw a lot of flooding. My family’s home is behind the 100-year flood line, and we were very, very lucky — with a lot of help from family and friends, a lot of sandbagging, the house withstood the river’s rising, and the water receded quickly once it peaked.
Now it’s happening again, worse. More communities are affected; the water’s expected to rise higher, faster, and to stay at that height for weeks, not days.

Blog postGene Wolfe passed away on Sunday night, and my dear friend CSE Cooney wrote about him, his mentorship and their friendship.
I met her because of him, and met him because of her, and I’ll let her say all the rest. I’m so grateful to have met him. He was very kind to a posse of fey girls trouping around him with poetry chapbooks over a decade ago, and that’s how I’ll remember him: kind, and merry, and thoughtful, and deeply tender towards my friend.
My deepest condolences to all2 years ago Read more -
Blog postWell, it’s been a while! Poor dusty old blog — let me get a damp rag and just — there.
I’ve been on the road so much this year, and busy with many things in between bouts of travel, but one of those things has recently reached a milestone, so behold — Barnes & Noble revealed the cover to This Is How You Lose the Time War, my epistolary time-travel spy vs. spy novella collaboration with Max Gladstone!
We’re both delighted with it. Greg Stadnyk took a complicated roller2 years ago Read more -
Blog postThis is such a delightful thing. Ottawa’s own Moonfruits launched a new music video yesterday, and I’m one of many extras in it!
The song, “Le Maire” (The Mayor), is from the Moonfruits’ folk concept album called Ste. Quequepart (Saint Someplace), about villagers disgruntled with their mayor, who’s been asleep for three years. It’s fantastic, and I’ll have more to say about it on Drip eventually, because I want to talk about it and a 1971 Lebanese play called Sah Annom3 years ago Read more -
Blog postOver on Drip, I wrote up a non-spoilery account of my experience of watching Avengers: Infinity War last night. It’s a public post, so you don’t need to be subscribed to see it.
Here’s a taste:
I had no expectations of this film. I’d loved Spider Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, and Black Panther beyond all reckoning, and didn’t think any of the things I loved about those movies would feature in this one. I’d also read Emily Asher-Perrin’s Tor.com post titled “Why I3 years ago Read more
