I got to answer some interesting questions and lift up some other authors! Always a good time!

This makes me so happy.
"Awaiting Orders in Flaggston", by @somercanon.bsky.social:
This heartbreaking tale is best summed up by the old cliche, "The more things change, the more they stay the same", and this is now one of my favorite stories by Somer Canon!

This was a great chat and it was nice to be able to talk about my hideously bad luck 😆😆😆
On this week's episode of KEENEVERSATIONS, @somercanon.bsky.social joins Brian for a conversation about determination in the face of adversity, her incredibly bad luck with publishers, Imposter Syndrome, and the personal triumph that comes after it all. www.patreon.com/posts/impost...

Hi Bluesky!
I've had this song stuck in my head for 5 days, so I've decided to spread the earworm infection!

I accidentally let myself slip into full HANGRY at a super busy shopping plaza, and then I got stuck behind a city bus, and then my cat puked all over the one carpeted room in my freaking house.

Anyway, I ate 11 tacos and now I feel better.

Check oit this cool review!

Certainly, I don't need to tell you to check out Strange New Moons because you've already purchased and read it. Right?

Shave my legs to make someone else happy? Um, no. I shave them because I get DRUNK off of the feeling of sliding into crisp, clean bedsheets with shaved, sugar scrubbed, moisturized legs. The opinions of others does not factor into that particular ecstasy.

The thing about living with cats, is that they will see you minding your own business, enjoying a snack, and think to themselves, "I can enhance my person's experience by sitting really, really close to them and licking my asshole for 20 minutes."

Apologies to the neighborhood dogs for the prolonged, terrified squeal I just unleashed because I was editing with headphones on and my husband thought it would be cute to sneak up and put his big head by my face.
We're all deaf now. I'm truly sorry.

Sometimes I read the comments section on my local news groups and check put the personal pages of the angry, uninformed commenters to see if maybe I'm being too quick to dismiss such people.
Nope. These people boil Brussles sprouts to death and proudly post pictures of them online. They're monsters.
