Thanks for the birthday vibes, everyone. We had a perfect day of lazy breakfasts, present openings, pucnic at a larger lake and swimming & stand-up paddling, then playing dominion and losing lol. Ive spent the day getting used to my new macbook air, which is awesome, and editing on it (fun!).

I'm writing a short story about a manicurist & had to research the process of a manicure. Guys, this is way more horrific than anything we can make up, times 10 fingers.
I thought i'd got a really gross idea but it turns out every manicurist is a skilled surgeon with tools that maim, slice & scalp.

Rip Felix Baumgartner. The man who fell to earth. I swear I was more scared, watching him go up in that balloon and then jump, than anything I've ever read has been able to induce in me.
Brave, crazy, one of a kind.

Today I bought @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social 's new release, Good for her - an anthology of feminine rage, & saw @sarahjuleswriting.bsky.social edited it, so then clicked on her Amazon page, where it recommended me her book "Found you" for 0.93 Euros, which I bought.
And that's how it should work.

Something dark and dangerous, spotted out in the wilds of Austria.
I had the pleasure of seeing this take shape, grow, and growl, and snagged one for the shelf at home.
House of Harrow is @authorcassandracelia's love letter to witches, fairy tales, and unspeakable cruelty.#1

I guess I'm going to have to go for Team Flea. I have my reasons.
I've ordered the paperback, so I'll post it when it ships!
You are going to want to pick this one up, you know you are in for something special from the very first page.
Cassandra - You did it.

Well I didn't do it (I wasn't the murderer), but I figured out the murder and whodunit.
5 hours in total, a 3 course meal and a fun way to spend Mother's Day.

About to start a crimi-dinner. I'm Ben, the music-orientated (band member) brother of the murdered business magnet. I might have the hots for the young, widowed wife, and I had a motive for wanting him dead (money! I'm broke!).
But did I kill him?

I've been busy.
I haven't been able to post for a while, due to getting everything underway with Dark Swarm, but I'm building everything up to be able to make an impact.
Hope to have more for you next month. Until then, here's a sneak peek at a project.

Off tomorrow to Portoroź, only 3 1/2 hours away, for a long weekend.
Got some great reading material with me, including @tcparker.bsky.social's latest, @sarahjuleswriting.bsky.social and @leighkenny.bsky.social to make the weekend fly by. Plus two manuscripts to edit because I'm me, obviously.
