This is what I’m up to: Book five
in the Shadow’s Dragon series. A collab with D.K. Holmberg. Might be my favorite thing I’ve written. A story of exploration and espionage, with cozy tavern undertones, it centers around Treylen and his bonded dragon, Rime. www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1648954

Everyone contacting me about Root as an animated property: That's cool and all but I still think it would be much more niche and way cooler if we did it with creepy puppets like the Dark Crystal.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

can you truly call yourself a fan of a genre if you haven't read every single instance of it across all of recorded history??

Learning French alongside my toddler has been so much simpler than in a classroom.
We aren’t getting hung up on conjugation etc. Just collecting words to express ourselves and polishing up the grammar as we go.

when I was a kid I read a lot of Star Trek novels, and the ones he wrote were a step above everything else. He was the first author whose name and works I intentionally sought out because they were so good ❤️

Reading about the insane numbers of books that ordinary working people used to read a hundred years ago feels like seeing pictures of the Pacific Ocean back when it teemed with whales. Hard to comprehend what we’ve lost.

Had to get off bluesky for a few weeks because it was reminding me too much of the old place. I never liked the old place to begin with. But I’m willing to work to make my experience here better, starting with following more accounts that I like.
