Time to make a splashy unboxing video? The books are here!
You could buy directly from the author, but I would much prefer that you order a copy through your local bookstore or bookshop.org or even B&N. I’ll still get a royalty, and hopefully the book will get more buzz.

Rare here in Portland: a red-breasted sapsucker. And since taking this photo, I have heard its call for several days. A new resident in my street tree?

Still thinking about "Soft and Warm Against Me" by @pahoehoe.bsky.social from Variant issue 20. Excellent dialogue, and so much going on beneath the surface. I loved working on this story.
