Personal hobbyhorse, but thinking about AI in publishing is really making me want criticism to go harder on discussing the actual style & substance of books. If we just talk about plot & vibes, we're leaving the door totally open, & missing out on the good stuff besides. "It's just words on a page."

We are $600 away from halfway there. If you can share, thank you. I got moved to rehab four days ago, and I'm learning to walk again. 🖤

Consider me a convert.

This could definitely have gone much worse for me.

...otherwise you might feel, as I just did, a horrible wet pop against the tip of your thumb. That pop is going to haunt me forever. Don't be haunted forever like me. Check your gloves, friends. Check them well for spiders and such. For your sake, and for theirs. Thank you.

Friends, a little PSA. You see a glove lying around someplace like a shed or a garage? And you decide to put that glove on? Listen. Turn that thing inside-out first. Give it a good old shake. Don't be like me and just shove it right on. Otherwise...

Absolutely loved the first one, and I think the second one is even better

Dinner is served.

O! tra-la-la-lally here down in the valley

I like them

This adventure I wrote is live now on Kickstarter! It's got 88 pages, 2.5 dungeons, a big point crawl, and a town with some problemsssssss, baby. Look at that art! Look at those maps! Stay frosty!!!

My new novel is out a week from today — tough timing because of the election & uh, you know, the world. With book reviews an extinct species, it's hard to get the word out. So tell your friends! Meanwhile, I've started the next one, folkish horror set in a bog at a remote Maine hunting camp. Onward!

Well that’s two instant bundle buys for me this week (the other was the C. J. Cherryh).
