If you are thinking of starting a fiction publication, do everyone including yourself a favor and do at least the minimum due diligence of doing your best to avoid copyright infringement by making sure the writers have granted you unambiguous permission to publish their work.

For tonight’s autistic rabbit hole, I discovered a letter in a medical journal, responding cattily to an article on emergency management of cauda equina syndrome. He medicsplains the paper to its authors, complete with “helpful hints”. 1/

“After several minutes, the ringing in your ears returns to its background status and your eyes no longer hurt, though you still catch flashes of afterimages burned in your retinas whenever your focus shifts too suddenly.”

This week’s topic in Law & Ethics was reproductive rights. *Nobody* wanted to jump into the online discussion; tiptoes all around.

Micropoetry for Microplanets is the perfect gift for anyone interested in space.

Or a good gift to put in a little free library.

Or just send me money and I will put a copy in a little free library near me.

Info about my book on my website. Stop on by!

This is a cool (and depressing) infographic of just how big the Big 5 actually are:

The Big Five US Trade Book Publishers
With all the imprints out there, it's sometimes difficult to know which imprint belongs to which of the big five publishers.

On December 6 I’m taking part in Seattle’s Punk Rock Flea Market, which just has the coolest vibes. It started as a fundraiser for Low Income Housing Programs & now just takes over abandoned buildings & sells local art (& donates to LIHP after each show)

Anyway. I helped make a promo for them.

Ok, I’m back. I’m going to try to make this work for human interaction and occasional self-promotion. We’ll see how long I last 😅

Contract is signed and I’m thrilled to say that my quiet slipstream ghost story “Day 3” will be a part of the MIDNIGHT LABYRINTH anthology! This story has all the trauma your therapist wishes you’d examine. It hurt like hell to write; I hope it hurts you all to read 😅 @grendelpress.bsky.social

Today is the first day in 8 weeks that I climbed the stairs in my house without getting short of breath. I caught a small virus that became a horrible respiratory exacerbation. I have cracked ribs from coughing so hard.

Please mask up if you are inside.

Art vs artist, 2023. 🥰

My eyes are leaking. They liked their piece that they paid me to make. They gave me real money in exchange for art and then said nice things about it.

Went on an art date today. I don’t hate this but it definitely taught me some things 😂

First commission piece is done! I’m so proud of it! Just waiting for the hanging bit to cure & I’ll send it off to its new home. (The client found me at a small SFF con & said his ex would love one if the colors were different & commissioned it on the spot)
