Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.

Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!
A cover illustrated by James Fenner. A woman with long red hair and padded clothing sits on the ground, petting the head of a smiling serpentine dragon. But the dragon has more than one head! On the left, a second giant dragon head emerges, frowning, looking at her while wearing a monocle. On the right, a third giant dragon head emerges, jaws wide, screaming in anger. The text is teal, contrasting sharply against the red and maroon of the creatures. The text on the cover reads "THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS. JOHN WISWELL, author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN."

Thanks for all the messages of concern about my health. I'm resting offline a lot right now.

But I'm popping on just long enough to say that much like Jason Voorhees, I refuse to die and will come back.

If you saw the creepy Ring Super Bowl commercial then you know they're manufacturing consent for a surveillance state (that serves ICE) by emotionally blackmailing us with our dogs' safety.

This flyer can be printed out and posted all over, or shared online. Get your $ back, fuck ICE.
Title: Ring cameras feed data to ICE to help round up immigrants Subtitle: ✨ Get a full refund direct from Amazon ✨ Body: In the past few months Amazon Ring enabled AI and facial detection by default for all users. Worse, they altered existing features such that your footage can end up in the hands of Flock Safety, the company responsible for 80,000 license plate readers across the country. ICE has been documented using Flock to know exactly where to go to find susceptible community members. Don’t help ICE round up your neighbors. What can I do? You can get a full refund directly from Amazon. Request a refund telling them their agreement with Flock is a breach of trust and invalidates the reason you invested into their security products in the first place. Amazon refunds because what they are doing is blatantly against the Terms and Conditions under which you originally purchased. ➡️ Reolink or Defender PhoenixM2 are great comparable camera alternatives. ➕ Request refunds for Amazon Blink Cameras as well on basis of lost trust.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

I got a new nebulizer in October when these infections started. It died last week. I cannot believe this whole onslaught has outlived the treatment device.
