Are you in Central New York? Do you love science fiction and fantasy? Come to Syracuse’s Parthenon Books this Saturday at 6 to see Debbie Urbanski and I talk about our new releases! I will be reading from A SEASON OF MONSTROUS CONCEPTIONS, published by @TorDotComPub!

If you are not following me on Insta, you may not know that I have now taken up shrimp husbandry as a hobby! Well, apparently I am too good at it and four of my little shrimps are now pregnant. Plz help me feed my hundreds of shrimp children by supporting this book.

TFW you have Big Life Stuff happening but gotta keep your mouth shut about it a bit longer (This is only 20% about writing 🤐)

Speaking of said trip, here is the prettiest picture from it (and the prettiest picture I have ever taken…)
A picture of the inside of a white-washed church bell tower, looking out the arched window at a medieval fortress with the mountains and a very blue sky in the background

A cool new addition to the Potentially-Cursed Pin Collection: someone’s collected devotional medals, found in a Madrid antique market

In retrospect maybe this weird old pin I bought for forty-nine cents at a rust belt thrift store yesterday is carrying a small curse in its cracked opal (moonstone?)
