Any sex worker with half a brain peddles information, but this time the intel leads Aran down a windy path with clues from his home-world and everything he left behind. What's a rent-boy to do? Find out in “Planetstuck,” read and written by Sam J. Miller.

I punched my brother because he was an idiot, because he couldn't see what I saw, how hard mom held onto the dish rag when she came out onto the deck to tell us dad had been in an accident, which is why the first thing out of his idiot mouth was “So can we go to Pizza Hut for dinner instead?” And her face had already been enough to tell me dad was in real danger, but the fact that she didn't scold me for punching Rem made my skin prickle up like when a snowball hits the back of your head. | ©2023 by Sam J. Miller. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

Saints and preachers, librarians and horse thieves, lawmakers and lawbreakers and a crash-surviving spaceborn vagrant searching for her lover on a scarred Earth. Earth, the distant future: climate change has reduced our verdant home into a hard-scrabble wasteland. Saints and sinners, lawmakers and sheriffs, travellers and gunslingers and horse thieves abound. People are as diverse and divided as they've ever been—except in their shared suspicions when a stranger comes to town. One night, a ship falls from the sky, bringing the planet's first visitor in 300 years. She's armed; she's scared...and she's looking for someone. Love, loss and gunslinging in this dazzling debut novel by Grace Curtis. For fans of Sam J. Miller, Mary Robinette Kowal and Becky Chambers, Frontier is a heartfelt queer romance in a high noon standoff with our planet's uncertain future, full of thrills, a love story and laser guns.

A recipient of the Shirley Jackson Award and a graduate of the Clarion Writers’ Workshop right here in San Diego, Sam has been nominated for the World Fantasy, Theodore Sturgeon, John W. Campbell, and Locus Awards. He is a community activist, he lives in New York City and more than once couldn't be on a podcast panel I was recording because he had a protest on his schedule. In this episode, we talk about his new release, the small-town horror novel 'The Blade Between' which balances issues of class warfare, LBGTQ issues with whale ghosts, and the hidden legacy of the small town the lead character escaped. We talk at length about the creation of this novel, small-towns with a secret, and the on-going conversation in genre fiction.

Happy Reading Everyone Today’s Library Tidbit comes to us from the Emily in the children’s department. Starting in December you may have noticed some Animal Crossing New Horizons programs. Those are ramping up in January. You’ll see on the schedule of events that we will be having an Animal Crossing New Horizons program every Wednesday. For anyone not familiar, Animal Crossing is a family of various games all with similar game play and characters. The first animal crossing was released in 2001 and since then there have been 5 games in the main series and 2 spin-off games. Game play is open-ended, there are no tasks that must be performed at any specific time. Although there are various tasks that the game gently encourages the player to get to. Emily has built the library’s island. Children with Nintendo Switches, Animal Crossing New Horizons, and Nintendo Online Subscriptions can come visit the library’s island, Biblioteca, every Wednesday in January at 6pm. Biblioteca is library in Spanish! If you don’t have a Switch, Animal Crossing New Horizons or a Nintendo Online Subscription game play will be streamed on the Youth Services Facebook page. You will find a link to that page here. Every Thursday at 4pm Emily will be posting tutorial 101 videos on the Youth Services Facebook page. These videos will teach the basics of Animal Crossing. How to take advantage of turnip sales, how to time travel, how to design a cool island, and so much more. And now it's time for Book Traveler, with Victor: Intro: Welcome to Book Traveler. My name is Victor and I am a librarian at the Largo Public Library. Today I am going to talk to you about a new book that we have in the Spanish collection called Las Caras Lindas by Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro. Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro was born in Puerto Rico in 1970. She teaches Creative Writing workshops in San Juan and has been the recipient of several national and international literary awards. She runs the cultural chronicle from her blog Boreales. Synopsis: Las Caras Lindas is a tribute book that takes its title from the well-known song composed by Catalino “Tite” Curet Alonso and popularized by the voice of Ismael ‘Maelo’ Rivera, a Puerto Rican singer who highlighted our Puerto Rican blackness through music. In this book, texts by Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro have been gathered that reflect her feelings on the still controversial issue of the black race, which for years has divided the Island of Puerto Rico. The goal of these narratives is to reflect on the contributions and deficiencies that racial inequality has conferred on us to date. From the overthrow of racial and phenotypic stereotypes, the exposure of linguistic racism, exclusion and class divisions, the denial of ancestry and the visibility of poverty, this reading immerses us in the exercise of denunciation to achieve a country with greater racial justice. Opinion: The book is short, easy to read, but with many stories that will make you think and reflect on the many things that we have to improve as a society. The book consists of different stories from the perspective of a Black Puerto Rican. The stories display all the difficulties and micro and macro aggressions that are experienced day ...
Happy New Year!Here’s an awesome interview with Nebula and Shirley Jackson Award winning author, Sam J. Miller to start your 2021 off on a fun and interesting note! We talk about his latest book, The Blade Between (a horror/thriller novel about ghost whales, activism, and mayhem in Hudson, New York), Sam’s day job as a community organizer, his creative process, and some of the questions sent in by my paid subscribers!Cover image for The Blade Between, showing the title in white against a teal whale on a black background. Come for the murder and mayhem, stay for the questions about craft, what it’s like to win awards, and perhaps most importantly, whether Sam would rather face 30-40 feral hogs or one ghost whale!

Tom wasn't fiction. He was not a lie. He was a higher truth, something we invented to encapsulate a reality too horrific to communicate to anyone outside our plague-devastated circle. Maybe myth, but definitely not fiction. Myth helps us make sense of facts too messy to comprehend, and that's what Tom Minniq was supposed to be. A fable to ponder, and then forget. We birthed Tom at one of Derrick's Sunday coffee kvetches. | Copyright 2015 by Sam J. Miller. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The bank didn't pay for the oranges. They should have — offerings were clearly listed as a reimbursable expense — but the turnaround time and degree of nudging needed when Agnes submitted receipts made the whole process prohibitive. If she bugged Trask too much around the wrong things she might lose the job, and with it the gas card, which was worth a lot more money than the oranges. | Copyright 2015 by Sam J. Miller.

Me and Case met when someone slammed his head against my door, so hard I heard it with my earphones in and my Game Boy cranked up loud. Sad music from Mega Man 2 filled my head and then there was this thud like the world stopped spinning for a second. I turned the thing off and flipped it shut, felt its warmth between my hands. Slipped it under my pillow. Copyright 2014 by Sam J. Miller. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

1. Because it would take the patience of a saint or Dalai Lama to smilingly turn the other cheek to those six savage boys day after day, to emerge unembittered from each new round of psychological and physical assaults; whereas I, Jared Shumsky, aged sixteen, have many things, like pimples and the bottom bunk bed in a trailer, and clothes that smell like cherry car air fresheners, but no particular strength or patience.
