This month in my Book Club we are reading Misery by Stephen King, and wow, a captivating start and already so deeply disturbing. Haven't read a lot of King's works, but so glad to finally mark this off my list this month. 📚💙

Gen Z are choosing to watch anime way more than they are Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel. The statistics prove it, but...why? What does anime have that Disney, the MCU, and the recent Star Wars sequel trilogy don't?

Reminder that before I started writing novels I didn't study writing at university, attended no workshops/conferences, knew absolutely no one in science fiction publishing circles, and didn't start going to conventions until after I got a contract for my novel.
What I *did* do: Write. A lot.

Saw a post recently about what makes someone a "serious" writer. It included studying writing at university, partaking in multi-day workshops, attending conferences, attending awards ceremonies.
Sounds a lot like pay-to-play, to me.

FYI the ebook of Old Man's War is going for $1.99 here in US/Canada at (most) ebook stores, for, I think, today. Get it! Cheap! And then buy all the rest of the series including the upcoming seventh installment, The Shattering Peace! The cats need tuna!

Reading Jurassic Park for book club this month. Fantastic, I am so excited… but why can’t I find a copy anywhere? Like seriously… what happened? Is it out of print or something? 📚💙

Superman is one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. He represents Truth, Justice, and the American Way...right? Well, over the last few years, it seems that fewer and fewer stories want to promote Superman as a representative of the American Way.

Thinking about going back to a first draft I wrote about teenage ghost hunters. Original idea/draft needs massive overhauls... I don't think teens upload to YouTube anymore. Also, any recent YA ghost hunting books out there? #amwriting 📚💙
