Gah. There's some goombah on Amazon selling the paperback for $34.97. That is *not* legit, my friends.
You *can* pre-order the Kindle version at the launch-week price if you're interested. Physical books coming soon!

I made blueberry muffins yesterday and, maaaaan, they came out great. Their tastiness can be attributed to a neighbor who suggested adding a teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter and--wow!--that lifted the flavor and brightened the whole experience.

Working on a super-short story based on characters from Of Hearts and Murder. I'm challenging myself to write a satisfying armchair solution to a murder case in less than 1,500 words.

We passed our first tests with flying colors!
The first new Amtrak Cascades train is set to depart the test track in Pueblo, CO following several months of testing. Next, it heads out for more testing on the east coast before starting service in the PNW in 2026. This is the 1st of 7 new trainsets.
