Pluto the dog stands upright walking around at Disneyland but then on TV he walks like a regular dog. And I’m sorry to say this, but … that’s two different guys. It’s just not even the same guy

It’s Small Business Saturday, so remember: if you order my books from The King’s English in Salt Lake City, I can sign and personalize them, and they can be shipped right to your door!

Would you like to see a medieval landlord who collected eel-rents? Well then.
I present to you Robert, Count of Mortain & half-brother to William the Conqueror. He's on the right. The Domesday survey records that Robert received 8,125 eels each year, from a total of 8 rents.

DAGNABBIT. I was literally just telling my husband about ELATSOE, and how gorgeous it was, this morning!
They banned Elatsoe in Florida 😭 My mystery about a girl and her ghost dog!!!

I'm seeing people lamenting Mamdani's win because he'll ruin the "greatest city in the world."
Really?
The greatest city in the WORLD? You know that the Schuyler Sisters didn't even think that, right?
I'm sorry, NYC is fine, but it's not even in my personal top five!
I said what I said!

Well, I'm back from World Fantasy! I have terrible chest congestion- I am prone to catarrh, much like Cyril in To Say Nothing of the Dog- but I had an amazing time traveling the UK with my sister, meeting most of my fellow judges in person, and buying so many books I had to BUY A SUITCASE.

caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

RIP Jane Goodall
My favorite anecdote was when The Far Side ran this cartoon. The Jane Goodall Institute was NOT amused, and threatened litigation, until it found out that Jane Goodall herself had seen the cartoon and thought it was hilarious.

My middle child’s blood is probably 90% vanilla Coke. Also, somehow my most normal child was called “the demon baby” before his birth because while I was pregnant I was in a car accident, fell on the ice and broke a rib and had the flu twice!
Why am I telling you this now?
Absolutely no reason.

You have no consideration for my poor nerves!

I'm not going to be upset today and I'm not going to fight with people on the internet, so I'm going to . . . go write a book while I eat some chocolate, if you were wondering.
