Now that I've turned in the final changes for "A Killing Breath", I can post the kind words the awesome Rachel Howzell Hall said about the work. BTW, I'm saving up for my tattoo.

Running like mad this weekend writing, working and caring for others. Woke up thinking of doing more of the same. The dog bit my shoelaces until I did this. Good dog.

Just read "Lenora" in the new Stand anthology. @jonathanjanz.bsky.social The writing craft in that story is flawless. And more importantly, the story is fire from the first page to the last. Especially the last. I don't re-read a lot of things, but this one is an exception.

As I work on the 4th & final book of my Raven Burns' Killing series, I once again turn to Anne Lamott for advice.
Breathe, and remember that all you have to do is "...write down as much as [you] can see through a one-inch picture frame."
Yep, & in the end you'll have a novel, or at least the SFD.

Grand demons visited this past weekend. They were up to shenanigans. Left a mess, like always. Didn’t even have the courtesy to get rid of the body.
…okay, seriously, they were over and this is what greeted me on my way to my outdoor office Monday morning. I was like, “…hahahaha…what??”
