Unexpected Questions interview at Amazing Stories

August 17, 2023

There’s a fun interview at Amazing Stories where I talk about Very Deep Things, such as whether it’s better to be a mermaid or a dragon, and whether I’d rather fight 100 duck-sized robots or one robot-sized duck. You know you’re curious!

Bulgacon 2023

August 2, 2023

I’ve been sitting on this news for a while, but it looks like the preliminary list has been posted, so I can go ahead and share:

I’ll be one of the Guests of Honor at the Bulgacon 2023 convention in Plovdiv, Bulgaria this September.

I’m very excited to meet Bulgarian writers and fans in person, as well as to connect with other international authors attending the event. This will also be my first time visiting Bulgaria, and I very much look forward to that as well.

Some of the previous GoHs at Bulgacon have included Robert Sheckley, Ian Watson, and Andrzej Sapkowski among others.

I will post the program and more details closer to the event date. You can also check out the official convention site here:

Live interview with Josh Grant of Diabolic Shrimp, Tuesday Feb 7 at 1pm Eastern!

February 6, 2023

Come check out a fun chat, show-and-tell, and dramatic performance of a scene from The Middling Affliction, to be live streamed on the Diabolic Shrimp YouTube channel tomorrow afternoon. Audience participation a plus. And, there’s a rumored appearance of a celebrity dog (or, at least, a dog that thinks she’s a celebrity.)

If you can’t make it, you will be able to watch the interview later. But it’s always more fun live, isn’t it?
