...well I missed this at the time, but it appears my new book is officially out in the wild! And, more to the point, you can read it right now for exactly 00€/$/£/currency of your choice because it is Open Access! (Or, if you'd like to read it on a page, do recommend a hard copy to your library 😊)

Terrific story about creative entrepreneurs leaning into regional and neighborhood history. Covington owes some of its 20th century economic history to Cincy-based bootleggers who setup across the Ohio River.

Gargoyles, grotesques, and corbels reading books are my favorites.

My contract is signed, my onboarding questionnaire is completed, and my agent is sending The Storyteller's Guide to Folklore out on submission. Please wish it the best of luck! Also, a merry Lughnasadh to those who celebrate. It's been a busy week, but I should at least bake a loaf of bread.

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.
