My publisher released four of my novels with new gorgeous covers by the great Yuko Shimizu. They’re calling it the LaValle Quartet though each book stands alone. Just look at these things! They’re in bookstores now. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/LVQ/t...
Three little goblins in green robes carry a baby basket that is filled with fire.A woman, in silhouette, crosses the plains, fleeing from a small white spooky home. There are pink trees around the home.A figure in a straight jacket sprouts sunflowers where their head should be.Multiple pink cats heads float below a manhole cover from a sewer. The manhole cover is sprouting ostrich feathers. The feathers all have a flouting eye in them. This is my weirdest book and the image is a great illustration of that weirdness.

We were having an emergency. One of the time-servers crashed, and the support line was lighting up. And since my boss was on maternity leave, every one of those calls was mine to answer.

I can’t & won’t tell anyone what to do, but I’ll gently suggest if you’re already feverishly tracking everything this incoming administration does & says & every piece of lobotomized court intrigue you’ll lose your mind right about when you need it most. Go paint some model figurines or something.
