It’s a Sleep Token day
A moment in days long past
Once upon a time on Twitter, pre-knob era, there was a great account that showed videos of random people dancing to Steely Dan. I loved it. I miss it.

I did my own cover art (for various reasons) for The Wolf and the Wild King, which came out from Mystique last November. I was aiming for something a bit more Post-Impressionist than I managed, but I'm reasonably pleased with it. Painted in Krita; my late dog was the model for the wolf.

Things I need to get better at as a writer: having an elevator pitch ready when someone asks what my book’s about instead of a blank stare paired with, “Oh. Fuck.”

Not much to celebrate lately, but this is special because even the Stoker long list is a big honor and the company is absolutely spectacular. Congrats to these amazing authors.
