My next novel is The Lost Cause, a rollicking solarpunk adventure about defending the #GreenNewDeal from seagoing anarcho-capitalist wreckers and white nationalist militias; #BillMcKibben called it "a chronicle of mutual aid that is politically perceptive, scientifically sound, and extraordinarily hopeful":
The book comes out on Nov 14 from #TorBooks and #HeadOfZeus, and I'm running a #Kickstarter campaign to pre-sell the ebook, hardcover and (especially) the audiobook (Amazon refuses to carry my audiobooks, so this is the only way to get them into readers' hands); you can back it now:

Like I say, this is something I've spent a lot of time thinking about - not just how we might get out of this mess, but how we'll stay out of it. As is my wont, I worked out my anxieties on the page. My next novel, The Lost Cause, comes out from #TorBooks and #HeadOfZeus in Nov:
A delightful surprise this morning! #TorBooks released the cover for "The Bezzle," the sequel to "#RedTeamBlues" (out in Feb) designed by #WillStaehle. I didn't think it was possible, but I like this EVEN BETTER than the cover for book one!
So, I just read that Ann Leckie has two published novels I have not read. I thought I'd buy the ebooks--I like to support the author. I can't. The ebooks (from Hachette) are DRM-encumbered, and I don't buy DRM-damaged ebooks. So, Hachette: sale you just lost. I'm sure Tor has some unmarred ebooks I can get.
