A bit of a rant this morning about how Romance isn't antimatter and combatting other annoying prejudices. Also why marketing advice doesn't always work and why algorithms don't capture what makes art resonate.

You can find WEDDED TO DARKNESS here (https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/product/B099BP5RC2).

The blog post I mention is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2021/07/14/high-praise-and-wedded-to-darkness/)

Today is a milestone, halfway through 2021 and I'm taking over as President of SFWA. I'm also preoccupied with my glorious fuchsia success and happy dancing that my proofreader loved BRIGHT FAMILIAR.

Family emergencies, jealously guarding your writing time, and how to get back on the pillow when you fall off. Also thoughts on those who prey on authors with new releases and other scammers and scavengers.

Nebula Pride

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week – in honor of Pride Month – is to promote LGBTQ+ Artists, Authors, or Creatives. Since I’m fresh this morning from attending SFWA’s Nebula Awards last night (online, natch – though next year will be in person again!), and since the awards ceremony was funny and moving and simply an amazing celebration, I’ll share about that. Come on over!
