My book traumatised a school friend and made her cry. 😅 Oops, not at all what I wanted Reborn in Ash to do to people. Honest. Pinky swear. 😇

6yo's school just sent an email reminding us to send our kids in if their only symptoms are a minor cough, runny nose, or sore throat.
It's taking all my willpower not to reply with, "Chronically ill parents thank you for your lack on consideration."

Eryn and her mother don't get along. At all. I almost cut this exchange in Echoes of Chaos, but I couldn't bring myself to since I'd already cut the only other scene with her mother in this book. Plus it will mean so much more after people read book 3 👀

Parents, what on earth do you do when your child refuses to stay in bed? 7yo is too strong now to just block him leaving.

So apparently: "authors shouldn't be political," is doing the rounds again.
So let's go over this again.
• trans rights are human rights
• LGBTQ+ rights are human rights
• gay people deserve to marry and adopt
• Women's rights are humsn rights.
• Believe women
• black lives matter

I wouldn't have seen the problem with the contract wording because I'm not experienced with legalese. Anyone who has or plans to sign rights contracts for fiction ought to read this.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Is it ok to have characters in two books pull the same move? Ie Ada (Reborn in Ash) and Eryn (Echoes of Chaos) both bite a guard's wrist to get out of their grip. I wouldn't be so worried since they're not related books (other than the world) but they're my 1st and 2nd books

This #WIPSnip features Darrys and Eryn from Echoes of Chaos. Darrys has been Eryn's guard since she was a baby and he's the only person she lets tease her. He's in his 50s, which is the start of a kitari's prime years - they live to 200. He's somewhere between a friend and father figure to her.

My dreams are so vivid I know how it feels to see the horizon disappearing as the world ends in a wall of blue light, as I realise I’ve failed to reach my family in time. It’s years since I had that dream but I just got a flash of the dread as the image of that approaching doom returned to my mind.
