Trying to remember how to write a book, make music, and do art. I swear I used to know.
We do Gelf on the Shelf, where Kiera and Fizgig (who are not part of the surveillance state) build little skate parks and candy gardens and put the kids’ socks on the Christmas tree.
They ate the elf on the shelf in protest. Fizgig is an anarchist.

For the holidays (since it’s my only seasonal book) I put Romancing the Werewolf (ebook) on sale for $0.99! gailcarriger.com/RTW_IG
You should be able to get it most places at that price (or your country's equivalent), including directly from me. gailcarriger.gumroad.com/l/RTW

A guy in front of the grocery store had a petition to allow workers to opt-out of payroll taxes.
Pretty sure that’s not how taxes work my dude.

It’s bonkers to me how many military shows don’t have half a brain.
“Oh no, our team member is half a kilometer behind us, there’s no way he’ll be able to get here in ten minutes when the chopper arrives. I guess we’ll have to leave him behind so we can stage an elaborate rescue mission next week.”

Looks like today you can watch me read from my novel THE DEER KINGS on the HP Lovecraft Film Fest's streaming edition! The readings are all free, but I think you need a ticket to catch the films.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV is a solid show. The first couple episodes had bad subtitles, so I almost gave it a pass, but it’s really picking up. Good acting, interesting story, pretty legit special effects.

It’s annoying when a package is delivered with the company name printed on the outside for your kids to see, but even more so when you kid says, “I recognize that name, it’s the parent company of the company that makes Squishamals.” Why does my 12-year old know the corporate structure of toy makers?

KILL THE FARM BOY, first in a trilogy that deconstructs fantasy (delightfully!) by @kevinhearne.bsky.social and @delilahsdawson.bsky.social , is on an ebook sale today.
And it has a laugh out loud map done by Kevin himself.
