Exciting news for fans of the Little Nightmares franchise: Little Nightmares III is coming out next year! And to whet everyone’s ravenous appetites for more tales from the Nowhere, Bandai Namco Europe is releasing The Sounds of Nightmares, a serialized fiction podcast exploring the increasingly disturbing dreams of a new little one, Noone—and I got to co-write an episode!

RWBY: Roman Holiday and RWBY Fairy Tales
The first is my pandemic novel, RWBY: Roman Holiday, which has nothing to do with the classic 1953 film starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck other than the punny title—although there are some loose parallels if you squint enough. It’s my third RWBY young adult novel tie-in to the RWBY animated series f...

I wrote a Warcraft!
World of Warcraft: Folk & Fairy Tales of Azeroth is out today! This is the biggest, most beautiful tome I’ve ever contributed to. Many thanks to my editor Allison Irons and the Blizzard Entertainment team for their fantastic collaboration on my story, “For Lies and Liberty”—and to artist Zoltan Boros for his stunning illustrations! This is a really fantastic book for WoW fans, for your coffee table or bookshelf, and it’s amazing to be in the same collection as L.L. McKinney, Garth Nix, Alyssa...

A MAR10 Day “Appreciation” of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
One of my favorite Star Trek quotes is this, spoken by Spock to the man who has just stolen his lifelong fiancée: “After a time, you may find that ‘having’ is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as ‘wanting.’ It is not logical, but it is often true.”
That pretty much sums up my experience with Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
Ever since I owned a Game Boy, which held the promise of playing NES-like games on the go, I had been dreaming of being able to carry Super Mario Bros. 3 ...

Orphan Black is Back!
It’s been a long time since I had “Orphan Black season premiere” on my calendar, but it’s there now–because Orphan Black: The Next Chapter, the official sequel series to the awesome science fiction show about clones and families and weird science, is premiering this Thursday, Sept. 12, at serialbox.com!
If you like the original BBC show; or actress Tatiana Maslany’s amazing work; or my writing; or the even better writing of accomplished authors Malka Older, Mishell Baker, Lindsay Smith, Madel...

stuff what I wrote last year
For whatever it’s worth, awards season is upon us, and if you are planning to nominate fiction for the Nebula or Hugo or World Fantasy Awards, then here’s a rundown of what I published last year. It’s a brief list, but I think some of the best work I’ve ever written — which makes sense, I suppose, since I should be getting better at this writing thing, yeah? No novels (but please keep an eye out for my next book, RWBY: After the Fall, on June 25, 2019!), but several short stories:
“The Land o...
