Moses Ose Utomi

review: Set against violence & subjugation are shining moments of kindness & gentleness ... whether they negate darker acts or willing complicity is a whole other question. One the characters wrestle with, as will the reader

Alyssa's art on this series is spectacular and just about every reader I talk to mentions the covers. I'm so grateful my words got paired with these stunning images.

I ordered my copy today. This series has made me think about new ways novellas live within storytelling. I love the first two and hope @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social has an amazing release day.

The world is on fire along multiple vectors, yes, and I am keeping my eye on that, as well as working hard (writing) and living my ordinary life, and meanwhile, my latest novel released this week, which I'm incredibly excited about.

It's like a constant state of whiplash.

The Forever Desert Readalong officially starts today! Grab your copies and join the fun!

I'm so happy to be nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Editor, Long Form! It's an honor to be recognized by the Hugo voters, and to fulfill a dream I've nurtured since my first Worldcon.

Thank you most of all to my authors! In 2024 that was, @jedediahberry.bsky.social, @vandroidhelsing.bsky.social (congratulations on the Astounding nom!) @maxgladstone.bsky.social, @vajra.me, @leemandelo.bsky.social, and @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social (co-edited w/ @mattrusin.bsky.social)

Just finished The Lies of the Ajungo by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social!! This had been on my tbr I think since the release in 2023. SO I absolutely squealed when I saw it at the library today. I absolutely loved this story!

"an untongued people cannot tell their story. But neither can the dead." DAMN!

Today is release day for this lil book o' mine. Children of Useyi is the conclusion to my YA epic fantasy duology, and it's a bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to these characters. But I'm grateful I got to share their story with the world and enjoy the support of so many readers.

Some random musing on my reading influencing the characters I make for #pathfinder2e

I read a book called The Lies of the Ajungo by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social and thus was born Heron Ajungo.

Heron is a Shisk spellshot gunslinger I played in a Dark Archives game.

I had the exact same feeling. I thought it was a Naruto rip off, so I wasn't that into it at first, but it won me over.

Got to spend an hour raving about one of my favorite characters in fiction--Satoru Gojo.

I love The Lies of the Ajungo series and need more folks to yell about it with!

Needed to take a drafting break so: Arcane characters meet book recs.

If you like Silco then read THE TRUTH OF THE ALEKE from @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social

Why?

-Characters that will do anything to gain power
-A smooth talking leader of the oppressed is in here
-Young minds are getting manipulated

We won! Congrats to all the Ignyte Awards finalists and winners! And thank you so much to the Ignyte Awards team for spotlighting so many incredible authors.

Thank you!!

Continue to support BIPOC authors in SFF. One bad actor is not representative of the whole. We still need the support, even in the exact ways that have been hijacked for personal enrichment. So go follow, read & support writers of African descent & from the Global South; not just one, but many.

Almost every time I describe the premise of my books, the person responds "where did you even get that idea?" and I can't tell if they think I'm original or disturbed.

Wrong Answers Only: What's the title of the last book in The Forever Desert trilogy?

Just a few quick clips from the ComicCon weekend. Got to see so many incredible folks like @jennlyons.bsky.social and Terry kill it on their panels.

@mosesoseutomi.bsky.social and @angeline.bsky.social I forgot to snag pics with but it’s because we were having too much fun. Oh and DUNE! 😍

The Lies of the Ajungo is an Ignyte Award finalist! Congrats to all my fellow nominees!
