Blurry picture of a frog that sounds a lot like a duck. Makes intermittent noises at night. Currently sitting on a ledge in my hotel room that's least two meters out of reach.

I was handed an opportunity to get all my ducks in a row. Turned out it was easier to pretend they were chickens.

Guys, these Star Wars stickers for muffins have gone way past their due date in the back of the closet. But I wanted to share their glory, such as it is...
Btw, they smell like bubble gum, even with the plastic wrapping intact.

This is the view from my writing retreat this week. If you have to be alone with your word processor for a week, Nice is a good place to do it. I miss my family, but at least it's been a productive experience.

I don't have many pictures from #Skrækfest2025 in Odense, but I had a very good day. My talk about writing for the anglophone world went well (the audience stayed for the full talk😜), and I got to talk to some very nice horror fans.

Waiting for the first talk at today's horror festival in Odense, Skrækfest 2025. I'm on stage at 12:30. Well prepared and admittedly a bit nervous.

This one's being called 'Eurospresso' now around these parts.
The current US gvt. doesn't care how much money the country has invested in soft power through the past 80 years. But it's all gone now. 80 years of good work put to the torch because fires are fun or something.
