Let it be known: I did not fall from grace.

I leapt
to freedom.

~Ansel Elkins
Autobiography of Eve, by Ansel Elkins Wearing nothing but snakeskin
boots, I blazed a footpath, the first
radical road out of that old kingdom
toward a new unknown.
When I came to those great flaming gates
of burning gold,
I stood alone in terror at the threshold
between Paradise and Earth.
There I heard a mysterious echo:
my own voice
singing to me from across the forbidden
side. I shook awake—
at once alive in a blaze of green fire. Let it be known: I did not fall from grace. I leapt
to freedom.

Countdown to Halloween—Day Two.

These four books from @markmatthews.bsky.social—two novels and two collections—are all deep dives into the horror of addiction. And they are all gorgeous, brutal and deeply moving.

Countdown to Halloween—Day Three.

The Dr. Laura Powell series by Nicholas Kaufmann is creepy science horror at its finest! Smart, unsettling, and humming with a fabulously gruesome undercurrent of 80s sci-fi horror.

Kicking Halloween week off w/an all-time favorite: THE FEARING by @jfdt.bsky.social. This book is magnificent and I loved every terrifying minute of it. The character work is deeply human and the horror both intimate and universal. From @spokenrealms.com

Double release day, p. 1! Stone Creek by Kate Brandes is both a taut, edge-of-your-seat thriller and a complicated coming-of-age novel brilliantly balancing lyricism, suspense and emotion. From @tantoraudio.bsky.social.

An inheritance. A murder. A deadly reunion. Trapped in the desert with her scheming siblings, Gertie must survive her family—or die trying. I loved performing @staciegrey.bsky.social‬’s twisty, fast, fun mystery—out today from @sourcebooks.bsky.social!

Looking forward to leading a breakout session for authors at this year’s Camp Necon: “How to Give an Unforgettable Reading.” I’ve been coaching for over 30 years—actors and non-actors alike, and since most is over Zoom these days it’s fun to get to work with a group in person.

Disappointing response from @schumer.senate.gov today. I’d sent a @copyrightalliance.org email, urging him to stand up for artists: work to enforce copyright law and end the theft of creative work. His response? “I have concerns, BUT look at how great AI is!”
Email from Chuck Schumer’s office. The body reads: Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts on Artificial Intelligence (AI). I have concerns with AI, but now is the time to develop, harness, and advance its potential to benefit our country for generations. I believe it is critical to construct a flexible and resilient AI policy framework across the federal government that can adapt as the technology continues to advance, allowing for innovation and continued U.S. leadership in the development of this critical technology, while enhancing security, accountability, and transparency.               I have been working with leading AI practitioners to create a framework that will ensure the United States can develop, harness, and leverage AI to our nation's advantage. We need regulation to prevent catastrophic damage, but also to stay globally competitive. My framework will advance four guardrails to deliver transparent, responsible AI while not stifling critical and cutting-edge innovation. These four guardrails are: Who, Where, How, and Protect. The first three guardrails - Who, Where, and How - will inform users, give the government the data needed to properly regulate AI technology, and reduce possible harm. The final guardrail - Protect - will focus on aligning these systems with American values and ensuring that AI developers deliver on their promise to create a better world. Final paragraph describes his work as co-sponsor of S. 2663, the Consumer Product Safety Commission Reform Act, and uses it to illustrate the idea that he will, “work to protect the American people.” It does not address the rampant theft that has occurred and is ongoing.

I left a vm for my rep today and just for good measure decided to email as well. Went to their website & selected the appropriate constituent contact form. It seems crazy to me that now, today, in 2025, it asks for “Email and Twitter Information.” Twitter? Really @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social???
Contact form for Hakeem Jeffries. A red arrow points at the “Email and Twitter Information” section.

So this is a first & I admit my GenX heart is full of glee. My first “audiobook” was Vincent Price telling ghost stories from our record player. (I still have that record & pull it out every Halloween.) I am delighted—what a lovely thing to receive at the close of “June is Audiobook Month” (#JIAM).
