If the Republicans lose the midterms, it was Canada's doing.
Oh no.
They figured it out.
Switch to Plan B, everyone.

21 days away from The Quantum Dawn releasing in the UK and less than two weeks later in North America! I'm very excited for this novel to be hitting the world!

I feel like I have so much I want to say but it’s just this incoherent ramble. But do you know how much it weighs on me to be the one woman on staff at GameSpot? To be one of VERY few women in the industry? To be one of ever fewer moms? To walk into press events and be the *sole* woman?

She wears a red-and-white colorblock dress, a key hanging from a chain around her neck, and red lipstick. She poses in front of a neutral gray background, tilting one shoulder up as she looks straight into the camera with a knowing smile.Color photo of author Jordan Kurella, a fair-skinned man with dark, curly hair worn in a short pompadour. He wears a black tee, faded black jeans, a black belt with a silver buckle, and black earrings. With his hands in his pockets, he poses in front of greenery and looks to the side, off camera, with a big, delighted smile.

If anyone is interested in a science fiction story of a Québécois family on Venus, I strongly recommend @derekkunsken.bsky.social ‘s House of Styx.

Oh wow! Thanks for bringing this up! Venus is so anomalous with its slow rotation which has so many weird effects and potential origins...

I'm almost done listening to this episode of Marvel by the Month. I own surprising number of issues from this month. The coverage of Roy Thomas' 1950s-focused What If issue brings up the complexity of the editor role and the +/- of their legacy.

The first book in my Quantum Evolution series (The Quantum Magician) is on sale this week to celebrate the launch of the 4th book (The Quantum Dawn). Check it out!

@derekkunsken.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 3:25 PM

Lol. I'm otherwise so sorry about the Puppets...

@derekkunsken.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 3:17 PM

Green M&M&M's are my favourite.

@derekkunsken.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 3:13 PM

People who make starter packs are great! Thank you!

I've been surprised that across the political spectrum of US media, the trade war is being blamed on both Canada and the US.

@derekkunsken.bsky.socialSep 11, 2026, 6:15 PM

FINAL DAY OF SALE! Want to get my newest novel The Quantum Dawn for 25% off? You can pre-order from B&N and get 25% off!

@derekkunsken.bsky.socialSep 11, 2026, 1:08 PM

Same. And i had to look up mould/mold this morning.

@derekkunsken.bsky.socialSep 11, 2026, 12:32 PM

Deep cut....

Another example: Old Fandom and investors made Homer write the Odyssey after the Iliad became an international blockbuster. Sequels have been with us forever. Also, Old Man Beowulf and the dragon feels so much like a sequel that was bundled with the first story as a marketing trick.
