Happy Friday!— Today on the blog I posted my review of Apex; the third book in the Hunter series by Mercedes Lackey!! If you haven't started reading the Hunter series, I suggest that you do. This series has quickly become one of my favourites. No joke. I love the fantasy element, and the futuristic world that has gone awry. I also love the action that takes place in these books!😱😍😁 . If you're interested in reading my short non-spoiler review, the link will be in my bio.🐉 . . #apex #huntertrilogy #mercedeslackey #bookreview #youngadultbook #youngadultfantasy #prettybookcover

There are eight days left to get in on the deluxe edition of my Valdemar short stories, Grandmaster.

This beautiful book is going to have illustrations for the stories, which are collected from most of the Valdemar anthologies, plus the novella from Herald's Companion.

The illustrations are just beautiful, and include one from the amazing Nene Thomas.

Thank you all for being fans and readers for all these years, and supporting me and all these amazing artists.

Good lord where did they find that?

Quality I mean, not the content

I wish to Apologize

On a panel at the 2022 Nebulas, I had the chance to celebrate authors who wrote positive gay characters long before me.

Chip Delany is obviously a major player in that game. Because there are two Samuel Delanys--there's one from Texas--I wanted to make sure people got hold of the right one. So, in my excitement, I got caught in a mental/verbal stumble between "black" and "person of color," and as best I can remember, what came stuttering out was something like "spcolored." I'm not an amazing speaker. I stammer, I freeze up, & I get things wrong. I am sorry that I bungled a modern term while bringing attention to an amazing black creator. Too often, I am called a pioneer, but I'm not--I'm just who some readers heard of first. I wanted to make sure Delany got all the proper credit that he is more than due, and maybe new readers would be inspired to read his work. A note from Chip Delany:
