To make matters worse, a competition between the Wardens’ apprentices is fast approaching, and with no apprentice of her own, Cerrida must find someone worthy of competing—and of working alongside. Until she meets Evy, a sighted shepherdess brave enough to kill a wolf infected with shadow-sickness,

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

The bill to end the government shutdown has this bullshit provision banning hemp derived THC products that have been legal in all 50 states since 2018. The ban goes into effect IN ONE YEAR so there’s time to complain.

Hi Mihika!!! RTM works on a round table format, so we are able to consider submissions that have us down as options and submissions that don't have a named mentor. We can consider everyone, basically. I love books that blend genres so I'm always interested in those.
