What is everyone reading? My current read is Forge of the High Mage by Ian C. Esslemont, Book 4 of Path to Ascendancy series. I love all of the books so far, lots of action and fast-paced storyline.

Imagine, I see a mention of your book, I am intrigued, I am beguiled, I just got paid...& then I can't find a link.

All my reads of 2025!
Book 1 Mislaid in Parts Half-Unknown by Seanan McGuire
A quick and easy novella, which is part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone. Not too deep, but a bit whimsical and weird, fun and contemplative at times.

I haven't social'd in a while, and only in the older hellscapes. So, who am I? I wrote some stuff! I do some music things. I love me some writers, readers, blogs, musicians, games, movies, history, and pondering what's possible.
