Look, I made a goofy image too. The goofy images will continue until I give away [an undisclosed number] of ebooks

Even the grittiest blue collar city has a spark of magic under the surface. In Baltimore, you might find that magic around any street corner or darkened alley - if you know how to look.

They were SO SWEET!! And worked really hard to try and make something with textured yarn. With only an hour, it was a short but fun session. And they gave me this 🥰

Happily going around grabbing up every book in the #IndieBookSale that I've been wanting to read, and I keep finding more to add to that list. Oh no, how will I ever escape from this TBR pile? *makes cup of tea, settles in*

I had FANTASTIC news today that I can't share yet but is going to change SO MANY things for me and allow me to help more people, too.

And then a friend sent me this photo, from her library where she spied my book keeping some fine company. What a nice thing to see!

Hope your day has been good!

Also got an excellent haircut after... two? years of none. Look at how smooth my hair is and understand it won't look like this again 🤣

If you're in the Baltimore area, I'd LOVE to see you tonight [7/18] at one of my rare in-person events, the Night Market! It's happening at R.House in Remington, so you can grab dinner/drinks then shop in the garage [with a/c] for my books and cool fae-inspired jewelry, or just stop for a chat!

Give mortals a taste of magical power, and they often don't want to give it up. That's when they become dangerous. Denny's about to learn that the hard way.

At #WriteHive2025 I'll be talking about How to Self-Publish on a Budget on June 12th at 4:30 pm EDT with Jason Reeves, Joseph Samaniego, Sylvester Barzey, and mod TJ McLaughlin. There's SO MANY other amazing panels happening too. [Did I mention it's free?]

I need to post good news before I run off, shrieking into the abyss or whatever.

I can pay my editor! Which means that my near-future spec novel A Small Light in the Darkness goes to the editor soon! [probably next week]
I had the best Earl Grey latte I've ever had in my life yesterday. I swooned.

Since here in Baltimore we're in the throes of hot weather and events that happen under the summer sun, I thought it's the perfect time to talk about Cast a Shadow of Doubt. Our favorite local [fae] band is booked for a big summer festival; expect local fair food, interactive art, and party crashers

Oh hey, you should join us on July 11-13 for the WriteHive Annual Conference, and not just because I'm going to be on a panel talking about How to Self-Publish on a Budget! It's FREE, it's full of amazing content, it's virtual. More info at www.writehivecon.org

Thank you SO much!
I have all my contemporary fantasy books, in both paperback and ebook format, available at my ko-fi shop. If you buy from me I'll send along some extra goodies - yes, even if you get an ebook! I've got a short story prequel just for you!

What's going on? This is going on. If you know, you know.
Can't complain really, Breeza lemon lime is the least offensive drink I've had to consume before imaging.

But three in an hour is asking a lot

Barring any last minute changes, I have my schedule for @balticon.bsky.social and I am both excited by it and a little amused that the bulk of my con participation is on Sunday. If you're going, I'd love to chat, but let's do that on Friday or Saturday?

Back on this day in 2021 I became a published writer when I released In Sleep You Know, a book about an aimless postpunk musician who crashes a party and somehow ends up in the middle of a war between Fae factions. Last year I picked the same day to publish the third book in the series. 1/
