Lucky me! I tried reading The Flamethrowers not long after it came out more than a decade ago and did not like it. I DNFed it. But today it was glaring at me through the glass window of the little free library nearest to my house, which seemed like a sign to give it another try.

This is why we do proof copies, everyone. The layout designer coded the chapter numbers but forgot to change the font and take out the code. Easy fix, took five minutes, but it should have been caught sooner.

(The layout designer for this project was, in fact, me. 😑)

I just met all my 2026 editing deadlines and got notice that the proof copy of the last book of Mogador's memoirs is on its way to me.

It's just me and a pile of unread books for the rest of the year.
