I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s so full of kindness with such a big heart. Seeing so many parts of myself portrayed in Greton was so beautiful
Magic, Maps, and Mischief is out on Friday, just in time for #aceweek
As well as being autistic, Greton is asexual. Come and give his story a try :)

I attended a workshop about cozy fantasy ran by @davidgreenwriter.bsky.social at @octocon.bsky.social 2024. Not only was it a fantastic workshop, David described his book as an example and I was hoping I'd see it published.
I'm glad to see that it will be.

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale.
Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.
