I've never before received a *gift-wrapped* author copy! Thank you to @lyradora.bsky.social for including me. . . and making me sad that I had to break the wrapping to get to the goods!

Coming up next week! I will be reading three flash fictions for @storyhour.bsky.social on September 2nd, at 7 PM PDT. (Or, you know, 9 pm CDT, which means I will be sleeeepy!) The three stories in question are: "Papyrates," "An Endless Sea of Diamond Dust," and "A Mother's Love."

I obviously don't share cat and dog pictures nearly enough here. Neko here displays that his floof cannot be contained! He is a long boi!

Coming soon! @ghostlyverse.bsky.social reminded me that I've been remiss in not mentioning this. . . as soon as I have details on when and where it will be available, I will post those up! <3 Much gratitude to @lyradora.bsky.social for including my poem in this volume!

Hi all! At Waterstone's website and on their app, pre-order "Christmas Horror" at 25% off with code SUMMER26, July 21-24. I have a story in this one! It's about a modern valkyrie, her brother, family, the holidays. . .and the undead. LOL.

Going through an archive, previously kept in the digital dungeon that is DVD, of old papers. Here, I found lovingly-preserved submission letter from 1995, to the New England Review. The story is in that archive, too--an attempt at lit fic. It's bad. But the submission letter is an artifact!

I finished "Witchmark" by C.L. Polk last night. I enjoyed this one, though I found the mystery element fairly predictable. (Obvious Bad Guy is Obvious Bad Guy). I thought the world building was excellent, and the romance element was gentle and lovely.

Wichmark's cover; vividly blue with the silhouette of a man riding a bicycle between two eerie trees, with the "shadows" of two walking people extending from the bicycle's tires.

I also recently read "Three Parts Dead" by Max Gladstone. This is a book that does the "page-turner" trick of constantly breaking scenes and POVs every couple of pages. I generally don't mind switching POVs, but . . .

I recently got the library bug again. I had stopped going after Hurricane Harvey absolutely destroyed our local branch, and once a habit is lost, it's hard to pick up again. :P Anyhow, my favorite new book so far is The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet. Incredible mystery and worldbuilding!

measured in sand
