If you’ve been looking for a way to help Congolese people displaced by war, I’m working with Focus Congo to raise funds for water filters. Easily preventable water-borne disease is rampant in the camps, and we can stop it! Any amount, even $5, helps!

the moment at which I found mysef writing the phrase "legally killed child" I would at a minimum ask the editor to spike the story instead of having my name attached to it forever, and then I'd go take a long walk and contemplate every poor choice of mine that had led me to this point.

A lovely review from Publishers Weekly, in perfect timing for a preorder reminder :) B&N has their semi-regular preorder deal. If you have a local indie, ordering from them might not get a discount, but it will win you a cosmic cheer from all of us who want to see those bookstores stay in business.

Wins for Oppenheimer and Godzilla Minus One mean this is the first time a movie and its sequel both won Oscars the same year.

Proud pretender here. That said, remember that anyone who tries to tell you the “rules” of writing can go fuck themselves.

I have no problem writing & editing multiple books a year. My downfall is the production process, where it seems as if every copyedit & proof lands at once. Peeking onto social media after, uh, nearly 3 months of back-to-back CEs & first-pass pages. One more set to go!

Hey Urban Fantasy people, amidst all the awful, it’s hard to note the joys.

The Innocent Sleep by @seananmcguire.bsky.social just came out, & will brighten your life. It’s told entirely from Tybalt’s pov, & that’s already enough you should be off picking up a copy, so I’ll stop here.

Enjoy!

So a grown woman (a M4L) tried to anonymously narc out as pr0n a fantasy novel w/ an 18 yo protagonist, including a few makeout sessions, & where the main character almost has sex. Tomorrow's general election is your chance to vote against these people on school boards across the US.
