Good morning, squiders! We’ve survived all our summer camps and things can go back to (relatively) normal. Phew! In case you missed it, I’ve set a video game goal for the year to play through and at least categorize my
WriYe and Ideal Readers
Hey-o, squiders. The summer camps continue to be a disaster and somehow we’re two weeks out from school starting for the fall. Will I remember how much bunching all the summer camps sucks next winter when I am signing people
Shannara Readthrough: A Knight of the Word
Howdy, squiders. Hope you’re doing well. I’ve finally finished the next book in my Shannara readthrough (I read the last book–technically the first book chronologically–in spring of 2022. Making excellent progress, she says sarcastically.) and thought we should probably talk

In the Trenches
Happy Friday, squiders. How’s May treating you? I’m slowly going out of my mind. Reception for Deep and Blue has been pretty decent. On a sadder note, Turtleduck Press, which I’ve been a part of for many, many years (we
Help, I’m Becoming Set in My Ways
Happy Friday, squiders! How has your week been? Mine’s been all right. My spouse is finally coming home from his business trip (he’s been on another continent for weeks) so I’m hoping some of the lingering exhaustion I’ve been feeling
Revisiting Writing and Networking
Good afternoon, squiders! Sorry for abandoning you all week! I wish I had a good excuse but I don’t. I did finish the final edit for Deep and Blue today. It has a publication date now (May 1) and is
