AWOO: Chapter One
AWOO: The Association of Werewolves and Oppressed Otherlings

A reminder that my debut werewolf novel "AWOO: The Association of Werewolves and Oppressed Otherlings" may be behind the paywall, but Chapter 1 will always be free so you can get a taste of the mad weirdness of the thing. Check it out here: open.substack.com/pub/writesin...
I'm sure James Talarico is a good dude, but he just looks and sounds like a robot. Like he's got an uncanny valley politician vibe to him. He's just like way too polished. Like he's a Disney animatronic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8VF...

Hey #writesky, what's the proper procedure when you have a story accepted for publication - is it Ok to announce the details before publication? Like, if it's for an upcoming anthology, should I wait until the anthology actually comes out?

I don't know at what point TTRPGs took over my life, but I don't hate it. Right now I'm playing:
-One bi-weekly Call of Cthulhu game
-One bi-weekly Pathfinder game
-One monthly Star Trek game
-Sporadic D&D
-A CoC game that I'm running
-A Kult convention this weekend
-And more!

Added tom kha soup to my repertoire of things I know how to make. First attempt is about a B+. I discovered I had the wrong rhizome, which changed the flavor, and I substituted lime juice instead of using lime leaves, which are hard to find. Needed a little more sugar as well. Not bad though.

Oh nothing, just over here grinning as I begin to realize I might actually be a good horror writer. Going to have to ride this bloody wave and find out what visceral, undulating shores it deposits me onto.
And yes, the real horror is the preposition at the end of that sentence. :)

There's no sign of an "economic blackout" here in Tulsa. People are clogging the main shopping streets just as they would on any other Black Friday. Just going about their lives, buying their shit while the world falls apart around them.
