A hush fell over the Situation Room. The world stood on the brink of nuclear annihilation. One slim chance remained, but only if they could somehow find someone who could recognize a giraffe.

President Donald J. Trump cleared his throat. "Don't worry, guys," he said calmly. "I've got this one."

I have not yet read this, but I have never read anything by Premee that I didn't like, so I feel confident saying that this is probably excellent and well worth your $2.

A DRM-free version is available from bookshop.org, so you can buy it there & get a copy you can read on ALL your devices.
Can't sleep, surprised to see that THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST ebook is on sale for two dollars (in Canada at least) though!

Even after thirteen books I always get a little jumpscare when I see my name

If you're in the UK, the ebook of my space-opera novella "The Warrior Within” just dropped from £6.99 to £0.99 at Amazon.

Contains 100% of your recommended daily intake of tidally-locked worlds, amoral mercenaries, and reluctant heroes.

Good on Rubio for rescinding a bad decision, and even better for doing so with a fair and informative explanation.

I think a lot about how most of us wanted to work together and do right when COVID happened and instead we were force fed disinformation and hate to turn us against each other because the wealthy couldn't risk our solidarity and their victory in that most vulnerable moment finally broke us
There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things
