Portland, OR friends, you can watch me live on KRCW-TV at 9:15 am local time tomorrow (Wednesday.) I'll be talking about National Book Day and, of course, my books!
A fun interview at Amazing Stories about Very Deep Things, such as whether it's better to be a mermaid or a dragon, and whether I'd rather fight 100 duck-sized robots or one robot-sized duck. You know you're curious!

A new Ken Liu novelette is out today! GOOD STORIES has much to say about generative AI models and how readers might interact with the material they create in the future.

@AkkalonAS@writing.exchange Yeah that's probably the author. I'd sure hate to be judged by how any one of my characters behaves, but if they *all* shared the same negative trait, that's another story!

I was on Russian TV again, on an episode of Chapman's Secrets that focuses on the Seven Deadly Sins. I got to talk about things like Las Vegas and the Nathans hot dog eating contest. You can see me at the 5:15, 42:10 and 43:00 minute marks.
Most importantly, I strategically positioned my books in the background. :)

The Middling Affliction audiobook is $1.53 on Audible this week. I didn't put the decimal in the wrong place. It's cheaper than a cup of bodega coffee! Grab it.
