My author newsletter for March is out! I talk about editing the new novella, give a couple of books recommendations and link to some spring promos! neve.substack.com/p/springtime...

Springtime News. Cosmic Tea.
Chapter One.
The first and only time that I saw Millie Barnhill, she carried a book. I couldn’t tell you what she might have been like on other days or in other settings, but that day—just about a year ago, in spring of 1983—what I saw was a slender woman in her late eighties in a track suit and sneakers. She stood in the checkout line just ahead of me, the single book in hand. We were in the main branch of the public library, centrally located in my small town of Two Lakes, Minnesota. What caught my eye were the mushrooms. Six or seven of them surrounded Millie, knee-high and with lively aqua-blue caps the size of dinner plates.
The Mushrooms of Mischief.

In this month's book news, The Far Time Incident is a Kindle Exclusive Deal for February! For fans of #timetravel, history, and mystery 📚📚 amzn.to/3ZwQtVl #Booksky #sciencefiction #Kindle

The Far Time Incident by Neve Maslakovic. A Kindle Exclusive Deal for February. Thanks to the time travel lab at St. Sunniva University, history is no longer a mystery. But when the beloved co-inventor of the university's time machine is inexplicably smeared across time, academic exploration and the future of St. Sunniva is thrown into doubt.

When the investigation indicates that the professor's disappearance may have been a murder, those inspecting the incident unwittingly find themselves caught in a deadly cover-up — one in which history itself is the weapon. Book 1 of a completed three-book series. $0.99

Back in the summer, we visited the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. One of our stops was the Niagara Parks Power Station (there's an impressive underground tunnel to the falls) and its Nikola Tesla exhibit. This quote — which I hadn't heard before — stuck with me. Where would we be without books?

Black-and-white photo of a seated Nikola Tesla reading a book in front of his high-voltage Tesla coil transformer. At the top, a text box contains the quote, “Of all things, I liked books best” followed by the inventor’s name.

Waterfall in the vicinity of Mendenhall Glacier, near Juneau, Alaska. An absolutely breathtaking location we got to visit last week.

Rock-bordered path curving toward a waterfall cascading down a mountainside. To the left of the path is water. Beyond the waterfall, you can just catch a glimpse of blue-white, a glacier.
