I was not born good nor did I become good, so what did I do to deserve this??????? Has anyone ever done anything to deserve this, because I do not think so????????

Complaints can be made at

@visyap

for being the original sinner in smoothing my way, inspiring me, and at times, sadly looking at too many geese with me by a river. Looking very forward to finishing these books. To that end, I will be living in a log den until 2026. Oops

Anyway, the baby glitched out and constantly falls asleep, and Harrow got smushed to death in a Murphy bed. This is still better than my Rimworld game where she married Dulcinea Septimus. I think Gideon died of the plague and my colonists had to eat her. Keep healthy, everyone

@tordotcom

for updates. My updates are all just how I looked away for .5 seconds while playing Sims 4 and the next thing I knew Harrow was having a baby. I won't demean her by revealing the other parent, but the baby’s name is Stacey, ‘cause her mom has got it going on.

506

I’m tremendously sorry that this is happening at a time when all I wish for everyone is joy, safety, and all the toilet paper they can eat. I hope you’re keeping it together. I also hope you know that I tried to think up a Coronavirus Tridentarius joke and couldn't.

428

As an offering, we’re releasing a new Locked Tomb short story instead on June the 2nd. It’s set prior to GIDEON THE NINTH. Its specifics are secret, but if you unravel the puzzle below, you might work out an important clue: Narrator’s name rhymes with PAMILLA SECT

539

The WHOLE FIRST ACT is going to be up FREE, NO DOLLARS, on April 14th. ACT ONE is PARTICULARLY WILD, guys. You’ll meet OLD-SCHOOL LYCTORS, and our protagonist wears a mint-coloured garment. Gruel is eaten at some point?? Anyway, it’s off the HOOK publishing.tor.com/harrowtheninth

It feels like skiting to imply that this disappoints anyone anywhere, but I accept that some people wanted those 500 biscuit pages. I could not be sorrier about this, nor more grateful for your support. Here are all the ways we have racked our brains to allay your sadness:

228

HARROW is not the only book delayed this season, but this was a decision that was enormously difficult to make for everyone involved. It sucks. We all hate it. I was so excited for June to be the month where people read over five hundred pages of God eating biscuits.

354

Due to social distancing requirements, indie bookstore closures and a multitude of other factors, we're delaying publication. I'd always pick HARROW coming out later than risk being any degree removed from infecting a reader, a bookseller,

staff, or my mum.

293

(FIST PUNCHES THROUGH COFFIN LID) Bonelords, attend. We’re delaying the pub date for HARROW THE NINTH from 6/2/20 to 8/4/20, and the GIDEON THE NINTH trade paperback from 5/19/2020 to 7/14/20. That’s HARROW in August, and GIDEON in July. Don’t cry. Ianthe loves it when you cry.

Replying to

csorwe regarding gideon is a pure but valuable specimen of that rare emotion: senpai is afraid for reasons she does not fully comprehend

(Please note: Csorwe would never wear a t-shirt saying "I'm Only Here For The Beer". Dignity clothes Csorwe like starlight. Mostly.) (She was the year above Gideon Nav at St Joan's Gay Girls With Swords College)

I mean sure, I WANTED the cover to be the long-suffering, world-too-much-with-her spy badass ex-prophetess swordswoman betusked lesbian heroine Csorwe wearing a t-shirt saying "I'm Only Here For The Beer", but my art direction is genius yet undiscovered

Book edit pass 4: at last my eyes see clearly. My whole book is one ghastly amalgam of errors, and I, its creator, am the greatest error of them all. The world is God's manuscript and we are all His typos. Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach ect chiz

Jul 12, 2019

will never get over how editing is just an exquisite waltz between author and editor. it has turns and chasses. it has back flips and laser stunts. it has both partners howling at each other about how many times the author has used the word 'breadth'. normal beautiful waltz stuff

DOCILE is like eating a chocolate and you find half a spider inside but the spider is also your ability to love yourself, an ability you sold to a bad man for some stale bread.

@KMSzpara

played me like a violin and threw me in the dumpster. 11/10, A++, Elisha Look Behind You!!!.

Lots of people have found it sexy and indeed I can fully understand why, but I could not because I was too busy inwardly hollering ELISHA NO!!! ELISHA LOOK BEHIND YOU like an audience member in the world's most alarming panto.

Mistakenly read DOCILE on a plane. Mistakenly not that I read blisteringly explicit material sandwiched between two other people, but that I needed to talk to ANYONE, EVERYONE, about what was turning out to be the most fresh and destructive horror story of recent memory.
