I frequently think, "What's the point of a newsletter? I don't have anything new to say." Then this happens. Buckle up, there's a lot here.

I almost forgot, my two books have birthdays very close to one another. Her Violet Empire may have started long before, but these books released on 11/7/23 and 10/29/24, respectively. I'm hoping that their sister will appear in the spring. 👍

I think, canonically, all Black Cats are chaotic little buttheads. I submit Wreck-It Ralph as further evidence.

I ramble about my event yesterday, updates on Book 3, and whatever else was on my mind. I'm still experimenting with long-form platforms, so today's victim was Substack.

Yo, you can get both of my paperbacks for less than the cover price of Book 1 alone on 'Zon right now. A bargain at twice the price!

I dusted off the blog to bring you the prologue of Book 3 in my series. I'm at almost 43k words now, and still writing.

If you have, then you may know what it feels like to be Veronica Fancourt. She has a "gift," which her doctors have labeled as synesthesia, but The Duchess suspects it's far more than a blending of the senses.

It was an unexpectedly good weekend for writing. I cranked past my halfway point (I target 80k words for these books), and I also dug myself out of the complex plot point I was in. I can move onto the next big item on my list.

I think this is good news for writers, like me, who are generally anti-GenAI. Yes, PWA uses AI, but they don't steal your content to train it. For now, I'm calling it a win.

So, this happened. I've been nominated in FIVE categories for the 2025 Indieverse Awards for The Duchess and the Indigo Child. It's really an incredible honor. Voting happens in November, so there's plenty of time to read them. #booksky

Like so many others, I've been feeling powerless watching these events unfold. I thought, "What can I, a middle-aged techie do to help?" Then it hit me. I don't use the internet or social media like an average user. So I'm sharing what I've learned with you.

If you don't want to see me get political, skip this one. That's your one and only warning. No takebacksies.
Frankly, I don't even care about that other app, but when I saw the message people got, it all became so very, very clear to me. And yeah, it woke me up at 0330 thinking about it.
