I've started revising the draft of the third #KingdomOfAves book. It's completed, and I left it to marinate for about a month. Now, I'm diving back in to revise, revise, revise.

Do you ever read a novel and as an author you're stunned to the point of envy?

That was me while reading T. Kingfisher's Clockwork Boys. I enjoyed it, and I was super envious. I'll never be able to write like that! The flow, the pacing, the characters...*chef's kiss*

This is why I love reading.

I'm interviewed at the It's Raining Books blog. I'm talking about the books and writing, as usual. The answers are unusual.
If you're interested in learning more about writing, genre, and Fabricated, give it a read.

This year, THE NIGHTWARD was long-listed for the British Science Fiction Awards & the Locus Awards.

It's not a Goodreads darling, or a romantasy with millions of fans. (But Martha Wells liked it. Maybe you will too.)

What it is, is the book of my heart.

Thanks for welcoming it into yours. 3/4

Did you know you can find me on the tiky toky? I have taken the plunge into those choppy and mystifying waters.

You can find me there at nicolegivenskurtz. I'd love to reach more followers. If you like what I write, like supporting diverse & indie authors, give me a follow here or there or both.

I know a nanomask when I see one, especially when the wearer’s making eye contact. There’s something about how the mask melds around the lids—it’s just a little bit stiff, but you have to really know ...
