Are you a young reader? It's Banned Books Week. Seek out a banned book. Find out what they're afraid of you knowing. Reading is revolutionary. Don't let anyone take it from you.

New book out this Thursday! And I’ve said it before, but I think it’s one of the best books I’ve ever written. Illustrated by the incredible Tim Miller.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

You should definitely get yourselves a copy of Droids & Dragons when it releases this Friday (and not just because I'm in it)

My review of Droids & Dragons- 5 stars
FYI, my short story 'Gotta be Dragons' is included in this anthology.

There's something for everyone in this collection; a fantastic variety of stories and poems!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading everything, and several of the stories left me wanting more- I can only congratulate the creative world building utilised.

Highlights for me include:
-Insurance Policy by Robert Miller;
-The Dragon’s Dirge by Carol Dresser;
-A cyborg, when asked about sex by Greg Beatty;
-The Woodcutter and the Dragon by Jay T. Levy;
-Waking Up Human by Jenna Cornell;
-The Dragon and the Little Droid by Shan Jeniah Burton;
-and Vanquishing the Beast by Rachael Crawford.

In all honesty, it was hard to pick favourites, but I 100% recommend reading this anthology.

I know "narcissist" has somehow come to mean "my ex-boyfriend", but now that one's been President for what seems like eternity, can we just take account of the damage that a real one can do? The man has a sense of self and literally nothing else. It would be fascinating if it didn't also kill people

My favorite is when people who have no experience of a thing think they can talk all day about a thing. If you don't have ADHD, then how do you "know" it's over-diagnosed? If you don't need SSRIs, then how do you "know" others don't need them? This is literally basic empathy.
