A little update
🕑 Added 2021-12-02 13:58:18 +0000 UTCHey, everybody! I hope you're all doing well and having the best holidays possible under the circumstances.
If you haven't been following my Twitter (marthawells1) or dreamwidth blog (marthawells.dreamwidth.org/) for updates (or even if you have, I have been super terrible about keeping up with updates) , I finished a new fantasy novel called Witch King which will be published in 2023 from Tordotcom. I'm working on the next Murderbot novella (which will take place right after Network Effect) and once that's done I need to revise Witch King, then start a sequel to Witch King, which will probably keep me busy for all of 2022.
I'm going to be at WorldCon this year in person (they are a vaccination mandatory and mask mandatory con this year), but they're also doing a virtual version of the convention at the same time, and all three of my panels will be online. I don't have any other info yet on how, where, etc, but you can still buy virtual WorldCon memberships at their site (discon3.org/) if you're interested.
A lot of authors need support right now, and I wanted to ask people to check out Queen of Swords Press: (https://queenofswordspress.com/)
They are a small press specializing in fiction about swashbuckling tales with female protagonists, people from wide-ranging cultural and racial backgrounds having adventures in outer space, LGBT and/or Q characters engaged in magic and swordplay and historically-flavored stories that reflect diverse casts of characters doing interesting things.
Publisher Catherine Lundoff is also a writer and has novels and short fiction available, and you can follow her Patreon here https://www.patreon.com/CLundoff/posts
Anyway, that's all for me right now. Oh, I did a year in review post here, if you'd like to check that out: https://marthawells.dreamwidth.org/567274.html

You write it, I'll read it. It's so nice to see you bubbling over with creativity this way!
Thanks so much for the update! I don't follow you anywhere but here so this is all news for me. Really looking forward to Witch King and more Murderbot (currently re-reading for the nth time). Enjoy WorldCon, take care during the holidays, and we'll be waiting when your new works come out! =D
