Thank you Jenny Z. for asking if we offered LCRW subscriptions with a chapbook but without chocolate. My answer: Um, no. For some reason when I made that little list of serious-to-silly offerings some time ago (and even during the many remakings) it...
Congratulations to all the finalists for the World Fantasy Awards, especially Kathleen Jennings, whose debut collection, Kindling, is one of five finalists for Best Collection. Kelly, the sole woman, and I — one of six men — are finalists for “Specia...
With world temperatures rising, and soon the seas, we talked about dropping the LCRW+chocolate option but maybe instead I can get it together and publish the two issues in November and February so that no one gets a fabulous and delicious but melted...
Kelly and I have been talking about this one for a while and today, since the new LCRW is at the printer and I am busted because I ran an errand (woo) this morning, I put it up on Bonfire. All monies got to BINC, who do quiet and absolutely necessary...

Good Day,I've had this newletter open all week but been unable to write. There are so many interesting things going — where "interesting" means "fascinating" not " — in the bookish world but the Stupid World keeps interrupting. Imagine voting for som...
Dear Readers,As you probably know (since I'm coming up on my 3-year Long Covidversary — party time!), I have long Covid; noted here as everything about distributing this book will be done slowly.We've opened orders for our four-volume limited edition...
Edited to add: something went kaput yesterday and this email didn't go out to most people so here I try again. I voted by mail and today we went to our polling place to hit up the election day bake sale and support the school PTO. I hope you will vot...
