Hey, know what that is? My indecipherable scribbling, done with feet in river. Know what it's going to be, when I type it up? Manuscript page 1307 of The Fire Sacraments series. Know how many pages this last part of the series will have when completed? Fewer than 1330 (he said, glowing inside).

And if you do anyway, I never want to hear a complaint about AI from you again!

If the last 190 days were a written satire, it would be dismissed as over the top.

You can be a Christian or a Trump fan, but not both. If you think otherwise, explain it to me. Just be sure you've explained it to Jesus first. Sincerely, a secular fan of transcendent love.

Hullo World! I'm reading from SIEGE in support of the Pixel Project to End Violence Against Women--this Saturday at 8:30 Eastern Time. LIVE - ON - YE - OLDE - YOU - TUBE. Nine full minutes long. But these are Talupéké minutes, and she packs a punch. Q& A afterwards! Link in comments.

Want to ask me where Book III is? Whether Pazel and Thasha will ever make out again? Why a certain character died (or didn't)? THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. Stop by my Reddit Fantasy AMA on Tuesday (8/19) and let fly.

Something to be happy about: a 3500+ year-old dolphin fresco from the Minoan Palace of Knossos, Crete, complete with stylized sea urchins and some very worried looking fish.

Just stumbled over these lines from SIEGE, written early last year. To think I worried once that readers wouldn't be able to relate to such passages.

Shell Falls, Bighorn Mtns, Wyoming. The exposed granite in the falls is 2.9 billion years old; other exposed rock in the bighorns is full 3.5 billion years old, some the oldest on the planet. This has been your daily dose of tree-hugger nonsense.

I'm not a lawyer either. I can, however, read.

Wow, I never thought of it this way. I guess the glass really is half full. Of Ukrainian blood.
