edit data

Ferrett Steinmetz’s latest novel THE DRAGON KINGS OF OKLAHOMA, a.k.a. "The Tiger King but with baby dragons," will be out in September 2024. He was once nominated for the Nebula, for which he remains moderately stoked, and lives in Cleveland with his very clever wife and an occasionally friendly ghost.

So Where Has Ferrett Been?

"You haven't posted anything in over a year!" people say.

Quotes by Ferrett Steinmetz (?)

“Oh, God,” he muttered. “This is such a mistake.” “That’s how you always say yes!” Valentine squealed, and tackle-hugged him.”

“Society took all the traits that a kid needed to be a successful adult – independence, a questioning spirit, a ferocious drive to satisfy your own needs – and then quashed them relentlessly, so thoroughly suppressing those urges that some adults never figured out how to be happy again.”
― Ferrett Steinmetz, The Flux
