Happy Christmas to all who celebrate!

I want to make an announcement: after five fallow years, the words are truly flowing again, and I’m hopeful that the first book of a new trilogy will be available by summer of 2026.

Agreed. Pitch perfect acting, lovely cinematography, and leaves me a blubbering mess.

Book Cover for Dungeons & Dragon Dating by Virginia McClain

This cover is illustrated, with images surrounding the title.  The outer frame is twisting vines, with a small coffee cup above the words.  Below the title is a cartoonish dragon with oversized eyes, drawn in outline. A playing card is set to one side of the title.

It's whimsical, and a bit silly.

This was a fun one, for all there were a lot of serious topics discussed. But Lyra and Kiara had a strong connection, and they were both clearly competent enough to find a way through. I really enjoyed the puma familiar.

Having offended my dear, close friend Mr Scalzi with my last post, I wish to inform all that we are indeed lifelong friends with a deep, intimate, brotherly bond. I pray this is enough for him to lift his threats of violence.
