Hi to my new followers! I don't spend much time on social media these days (so many hours reclaimed for writing by no longer doom-scrolling Twitter!) but when I do post it'll be here.

I got onto Bluesky today on impulse (I'm not here daily as you may have noticed) to find my feed is full of cats and cat pictures and this is definitely the social media content I needed right now.

Time for a COVER REVEAL!
SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN out 4/2/24!
Shesheshen is a shapeshifting horror with a big problem: she's fallen for a human. She’s never connected with someone like she does with the kindly Homily…until she learns Homily is here to hunt her.

Made what is probably my final post and update to Twitter. It had a good 15 year run! Alas, but all good things must end, especially on the internet.

Couldn't find a book locally so I ordered it online.
Per the UPS tracker, it is 200 miles away and will take 7 days to get to me.
I would like to apologize to the poor UPS worker who is apparently walking from New Jersey with my book...

Normally this time of year, people start coming out of the woodwork with "sorry I haven't been answering emails, it's summer."
This year it's been all "sorry I haven't been answering emails, I've had COVID."
Fun times.
<rhetorical question>How long until the updated vaccines are ready again?</rq>
