I reedited my first chapter once again yesterday and I think it's stellar. I'm really impressed with it. Now I need the rest of the book to match.

Well, it only took ten years, but I've finally thought of a pithy way of describing my first novel and it's FernGully with anxiety!

Dang, didn't expect this of Little Critter.
A children's book cover titled "Me Too!" With a picture of two unidentified critters with brown, spiky fur. One critter is dressed to play baseball. The other critter is crying.

Happy 56th anniversary to Sesame Street! Can you believe it's been 56 years since Ernie first took a bath on national television?

Aaand Chapter 3 of THE WARDS WILL FALL is now up!

I think a lot of us have had a Theurgical Officer Davis in our lives at some point. Can Maxwell trust Davis? Hmm, remains to be seen.

A new chapter every Monday. Read (or listen) for free.

Link to the chapter list -

“I was sure you’d make it back,” Davis said with an air of confidence. He snapped a leather-bound notebook closed. “Couldn’t leave you to be swept away by flood waters. Glad the lieutenant was able to find you in time.” “The mountain is crawling,” Westbrooke interrupted, pushing past Maxwell to slam her hands down on the table. Papers ruffled at the fury of her motion. “You’re lucky I managed to get there and back. Didn’t think to notify me the mountains were positively crawling with spirits, did you? What are you playing at, Davis?” Davis’s smile curled into something more unpleasant. “It all turned out fine didn’t it, Helene? It was important Theurgist Halli return. I have a plan for tonight.”

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to mash these two concepts together.

Love seeing @angelvleal.bsky.social in TOC. Much deserved and always worth not one but at least two reads.

Space Unicorns! Behold, the Uncanny Magazine Issue 67 Table of Contents and Paul Lewin cover! buff.ly/D7a2nXG
Cover: Mushroom Mother of Us All by Paul Lewin. In the center, an elderly Black woman has her eyes serenely closed, a brown-orange nose piercing on her right nostril and an orange line/mark on her chin. Her hair are the green leaves of trees, trunks growing out of the side of her face, and mushrooms growing through the leaves. She wears large earrings of orange, sienna, with aqua and white lines and dots. Her hands hold a bowl lined with Black faces and mushrooms growing out of the bowl. In the center of the bowl and thus the front of her chest is an orange sun surrounded by a dark pink halo like a globe. The text "Uncanny," "November/December 2025," "Issue Sixty-Seven," and the credits are in white.

It's been a while since I made a brand new Labyrinth prop replica, but here it is: The first 13 hour clock that you see in the film. I made my version with laser cut/engraved wood, mother of pearl, vinyl, poster paper, and resin.
A prop replica of the first 13 hour clock shown in the Jim Henson film Labyrinth. A large wood antique clock with mother of pearl mosaic design and brass trimmings is shown hung from a tree. In the distant background is Jareth's Labyrinth, with his castle just peeking through the tree branches. The clock is shown at sunrise, with warm pink and yellow lighting.
