Huge thanks to @festofauthors for inviting me to meet and moderate for Jacquelyn Zong-li Ross and Kim Bo-Young! It was both an honor and a delight! I hope everybody who attended enjoyed the insights, because I certainly know I enjoyed listening to them speak about their processes and inspiration.

Made my annual batch of harvest soup this weekend! No recipe, really, I just roast a bunch of orange and red things with olive oil and salt, and then put it all in a crock pot with chicken stock and garlic and a crap load of paprika and pepper. Blend until smooth when it's all cooked!

“This was a beautiful exploration of grief layered with thoughtful mental health representation that felt both real and necessary... the emotional core shines through. At its heart, this is a story about love, its complexity, its cost and what it truly means to choose someone.”--Kedaen, on Fable

Celebrated my bday with friends kids a perfect afternoon goofing around, barbecue, and cupcakes! Friend's daughter decorated this one.
She said that if we cut off a unicorn horn to use as a birthday candle, there had to be blood, right? I love those kids and their gleefully macabre sense of humor.

I commissioned @designtheendless to draw a scene from my #Sandman fanfic CLING FAST. This is from Chapter 12, wherein Hob is contemplating some PDA on the red carpet at the "Elizabethan Manor" premiere party.
They nailed it. I'm so delighted with how this turned out! I am over the moon!
