I got my first ever ARC! "The Last Soul Among Wolves" is a solid follow-up to the amazing "The Last Hour Between Worlds."

This headline is 100% misrepresenting the research, but as a distance runner who hates the marathon, I am getting a kick out of these headlines.

Finished "The River Has Roots" by Amal El-Mohtar. It's a charming little book, and I enjoyed the chicken lurking under the jacket.

I haven't read the article, but having run a marathon, I must agree. People who love marathons have lost their minds.

Reading Donald Maass's "Writing 21st Century Fiction," and I fully agree with this quote. I often find action/fight scenes dull. #WritingCommunity

I really enjoyed this little book. It's an unintimidating intro to poetry with actionable advice.

The words are happening! #5amwritersclub

This is my favorite line of poetry so far this year. 🤣

Teagan is stuck with a cursed pendant that has every monster in the city trying to kill her.

Ellis is a golem with a curse of his own—and he needs to keep Teagan alive to break it. However, when she’s close, the urge to kill her is hard to ignore.

Ta-dah!

Found this typo amusing: lowercase L instead of I. (And yes, this is a trad published book, Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch).

I feel like this tea is expecting a lot of me for a Monday morning.

I send emails, largely trying to convince other people to do things.

Here is my 2024 award eligibility post.

This was a small publication year for me, because I was focused on 100-Foot Crow. (Running a magazine--even a small one--is a lot of work!)
