belated day 2 of posting my dog for engagement. we adopted puddles during lockdown, when she was 4 years old. she came to us with a ton of anxiety.

she still has anxiety but 5 years of basically constant therapy has made it better, somewhat... she's still afraid of the following:

Listen: Whatever you're doing, don't give up. The devil failed to get Dick Cheney five times before he notched a success. If Lucifer kept trying, you can too. You know how in publishing we say it only takes one yes?

Here's the one yes. Get out there, y'all.

Friends in the Northeast! I and a whole bunch of authors are headed your way in the next two weeks for @yumewrites.bsky.social 's Traveling SFF Festival! Instead of having conversation partners, we'll be paneling with one another at each stop. More info at

sometimes you gotta look at the zon for specific book information and you stumble upon your reviews, which -

1. Lesbian love story is a bonus
2. It's Bi Visibility Week. Vale is bisexual, not lesbian. Bi erasure is real
3. Somehow ol' gal missed the mycology, infectious disease, and anthropology

not THE fave, but i refer to this constantly. "sticks m'legy out real far"

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't grunge.

Portishead's Dummy forever changed me.

Character cards for THE MEMORY HUNTERS are here! Presented by Portia. Come see me at any of the bookstores on tour (or maybe visit the Strand in NYC) and you'll get a card. Key has the regular cover, and Vale has the alternate cover.
