I'm not saying I'm pedantic, but I've now gotten another library card from the next-closest library system so that I could check out a book about the Normans to read for setting research. If anyone has questions about Western Europe around the time of the Norman invasion of England, let me know.

I'm going running in 36°F/2°C weather.

Yep.

I made pretzels yesterday.

I'm making more today.

That is all.

I've been focusing hard on the Weatherworker Chronicles this fall, but let's not forget about The Raven's Children! If you enjoy Norse-themed fantasy, this is right up your alley.

Y'all, I have recently learned exactly how much material the Bodleian Library at Oxford has digitized for public use, and it is amazing! So many rabbit holes to go down. #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #historicalfantasy

I'm gonna need Google Docs to stop trying to tell me I shouldn't use words like "happenstance." I'm writing historical fantasy, you daft bint. #authorproblems #autocorrect #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #historicalfantasy

It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and it's interview time.

We've got some questions and answers with Emily Barlow ( @emilybarlowauthor.bsky.social ), whose book Sunchaser just came out on audio.

It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and somehow it's not actually raining.

To tide you over until the weather cooperates, we'll share an interview with Millie Abecassis (@millieabecassis.com ecassis.com), author of A Legacy of Blood and Bone.

Do you like indie books?

Do you like finding new indie authors and a chance at getting book-type things for nothing?

Of course you do! In which case you should check out the Read Indie Fantasy blog, where they're doing A Month of Rain and Reads!

Let me not to the narration of my
books admit impediments; ACX
does not approve when it approval finds,
or works with the approver to approve.
No, it is an ever-slowing mark
That looks on release dates and is ne'er shaken.

Happy Halloween! This is as good as it gets this year; I'm on kid duty, so no Endermom costume. I suppose I could be a librarian, with my seasonal earrings and sweater, but really it's just comfy and warm. Hope everyone stays safe and has fun!

It's been 4,732 days since I submitted the audio for Sunchaser. The world has devolved into madness; dogs and cats are living together, "skibidi Ohio" has become part of the vernacular, and Patrick Rothfuss has actually finished his series. (George R.R. Martin, however, has not.)

Still so tickled by this! Also having an absolute blast following along with the competition--you should, too! #sff #booksky #sfincs3

I've played far too much Mario Kart and watched far too many cartoons to be fooled by this while out on a run. Nice try, universe!

Waiting on audiobook review by ACX. For anyone who remembers the old Windows file transfers--the time estimates always changed drastically... #audiobook #authorproblems

Friday: a statement
October 24, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Pushed the button last night to submit the audio! It won't be long now. And if you go to my website and sign up for my newsletter, you might get a shot at a release day exclusive once it's live... #audiobook #fantasybook
