Spent Friday evening on a date with my wife at Happy Medium Books and Café. Caught Tim Gilmore interviewing @craigtimes.bsky.social talking about Craig’s latest book, Welcome To Florida.
Yes, there are STILL good things about Florida.

I just my copy in the mail from the publisher. I thought I was going to get the red edge and a sticker for buying early but it appears to be a third printing. Sigh.
I am STILL happy nonetheless. I pirated the buffalo from one of my old paintings for my review. mocando.blogspot.com/2025/03/some...

Just starting in on FIEND by Alma Katsu. It looks devilishly good.
It won’t be hitting the stands until September 18, 2025. There’s still time to pre-order. Do buy ALL your books from your favorite independent bookstore. #Fiend #NetGalley #WomenInHorror

Who's up for a little creative non-fiction. I normally don't write CNF, but this one….
It's called GRAZED. For those who know me, they know. Check it out & please leave a comment—even if it's only GTFO. It's ANOTHER drabble. My 2nd this week! Woo hoo!

The crazy thing about this was it was the first place I submitted to and barely got the third submission finished when this one was accepted. The good news? Only two withdrawals. Woo hoo.

Finally got some sense and stopped doomscrolling and started in on Christopher Golden’s latest—THE NIGHT BIRDS. Actually, it’s an ARC, but it’s still his latest. Coming soon but order it now. #NetGalley

Joe Lansdale just posted his Top 10 Western movies over on Facebook. www.facebook.com/share/p/196n...
My fav, "The Outlaw Josie Wales," made his list. I'd have to find room for "Little Big Man" and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," but what do I know?

So I missed National Appreciate a Dragon Day. If you can't find the time in your day to read Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight, I know you can read my little slice of dragon lore. This is Gryll the Invincible. Here's the cover art. michaelgoconnell.etsy.com/listing/1749...
