I just set up a Ko-Fi thinking "I need to get serious about raising money to move to France, maybe I can sell some more audio stories." But then today I lost another sibling. Funeral will be abroad. If you'd like to buy something, now is a good time. ko-fi.com/conorm4076

I'm thrilled to share the cover for my upcoming book, NO DREAM LIKE FOREVER. Can I tell you how deeply thrilled I am? Over the past week I kept opening the file and giggling at how much I love it. I mean, Frith's sake, it's so damn gorgeous.... 1/2

An image of the cover of No Dream Like Forever, by Nora Shear. This is Book 1 of The Descendants series. The cover shows a dark dragon's head with blue eyes over two black swan's wings that are burning. Along the edges of the cover are dark silver snakes, and seven dark silver feathers float in the foreground. The title is in metallic gray elegant lettering with flourishes.

A break from the dark and windy days of early spring: these cats are enjoying an amazing afternoon of sunshine and gentle breezes. We’re hoping for a lot more, soon.

PS @drunemeton.bsky.social: the writers (cis, trans, and nonbinary) in this pack help understand and deconstruct misogynist problems, and their _intersectional_ feminist journalism, fiction, TV scripts, screenplays, media criticism, legal analysis (&more) often offers solutions.

I love writing conventions for many reasons, one of which is meeting people whose text I read —their stories, their social media posts, writing community posts, etc. Even when it is just listening to their wonderful voices, it feels magical. (Yes, I know, thank you science.)

Hey conventions, if you're trying *at all* to be inclusive, remember disabled/immunocompromised people are a big % of your audience and deserve accommodations. Or just own it and say you don't care about these folks, and don't pretend you're inclusive. Have a COVID policy. Please. Or we can't go.

Good Morning! It’s a beautiful day to revise a story. Have to play with Cookie first.
