Chemical engineer. Dog lover. Chocoholic. Makes things with pointy sticks and string.
I'm on my third consecutive year of gin advent sets, but if money were no object it would be fun to try the really pricey whiskys.

Historical fantasy: Anything by Guy Gavriel Kay. Tigana and The Lions of Al-Rassan are particular favorites.

Romance: Lately I have been enjoying Mimi Matthews. Victorian settings with solid historical details and well-written characters. Also seconding the person who mentioned Freya Marske.

Seconded. His novels and stories set in Newford are urban fantasy classics.

I mean, I wouldn't argue if @blairbraverman.bsky.social wanted to write a book about every dog on the team. (My vote for next would be "Flame and the Feelings Box."

For a second I misread this as "Halloween crochet panic." Hopefully not that.

Careful, that might be Feathers McGraw in disguise.
a penguin wearing a red hat is holding a racket and waving .
Alt: a chicken is admiring himself in a mirror (or is it a dastardly penguin in a clever disguise??).
