It's been a while since I've done serialized fiction...and since I've done an October spooky-season freebie. This year, I'm doing both, with a free long gothic novella for October, e-serialized here: www.kelleyarmstrong.com/ravens-moor/

I'm seeing Duran Duran soon, so I checked out their recent setlists, and I'm always amused by the mutually agreed upon fiction of a band's "spontaneous" encore that everyone already knows is going to happen. Like, you haven't played "Rio" yet, my dudes, we all know you're not going anywhere 😂

Yeah. That trailer was...a lot. I do know there was a lot of drug usage in Hagerstown, and its location at the intersection of two major interstates would in fact make it very useful for the drug trade. But YIKES.

I think the most “adult who was in a gifted and talented program as a kid” thing I could have done to myself was become an author. Just giving myself endless homework and a need for people to be proud of me forever.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

Sweden's far-right party is now sponsoring the local hockey club...to which we recently bought season tickets. 😭 It feels super-gross, especially since we live in a city with an enormous immigrant population.
