🧵 If you see a ‘Best SF Novels of 2026’ list that doesn’t include PRECIOUS CHILDREN— go trust a better list that does. 1/

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

John Picacio’s response to Must Read Magazine’s request for his waiver of all Moral Rights and Copyright of his commissioned art for an ASIMOV’S assignment. Short version — Picacio says a resounding NOPE.

Also a short story critique from me is one of the rewards!

To follow-up — I just read @donatoarts.bsky.social's Facebook write-up, the details of which are extremely depressing. I'm sharing the link here, because it appears he's left it unlocked in order to spread the word and warn other professionals. This saddens me. www.facebook.com/donato.gianc...

While human cloning is illegal now, one day it might not be; it might be a luxury. Or a necessity. Which is what happens in Mary G. Thompson's new #SciFi #horror novel "Precious Children." To find out why, and more, check out this exclusive interview.

I finished @marygthompson.bsky.social's Precious Children today. I couldn't put it down! Clones, shared bodies, creepy kids, dysfunctional families, dysfunctional societies. It made me wonder about my own parenting in the best possible way.

Precious Children novel by Mary G. Thompson. 9 blond boy doll heads look creepy on the cover. The one in the center has light radiating from the crown of his head.
