Omega-reading The Wounded Land by Stephen R. Donaldson. It has been 25 years since I read the Second Chronicles of one of the most hated characters in all of SF&F. And yet, I'm loving it. It's Donaldson's prose and my love of the Land that sustains me. Art by @allenmorrisart.bsky.social

Look at this BEAUTIFUL cover. Lucky guy, @guygavrielkay.bsky.social! Lucky guy. Hope I can get you to The Signed Page in May!

The cover for Guy Gavriel Kay's new book, Written on the Dark, which features a dark and moody nighttime image of a man on a horse crossing a bridge with a giant moon hovering behind him and a castle in the distance.

My kitty Winter watches winter. She warns us about these tiny, attacking, white birds and that they all must be destroyed. Not #Caturday but everyday is in our house.

My wife is amazing. Not only does she put up with me and our kids — I say that in jest, obviously — but she owns three salons. This is the newest one, a location in our community. And community is everything to her. ❤️ Graphic design by SF&F artist @toddlockwoodart.bsky.social
