Phew! Just finished reading the novella out loud for flow. Lots of changes to input, then I'll change the font and read it out loud one more time. After that, it's formatting time.

It's Remembrance Day in Canada. There's a line in Flanders Fields, "if ye break faith with us who die/We shall not sleep, though poppies grow/In Flanders fields" My then-five-year-old once asked me if this meant they'd rise as Undead.
I've been thinking about that a lot this week.

This discussion of Faerie between Terri Windling, Ellen Kushner, and Jeanette NG!! Listening to accomplished writers in the fantasy field discuss Faerie with a younger writer and watching them getting all fired up and feeding off of each other's ideas was so delightfully inspiring.

I recently DEVOURED this book and it has since come to my attention the author is a new indie debut. SO if you like Loki, enemies to lovers, forbidden love, and forced proximity tropes, you know what to do. Spice rating 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ /5
