Why Louise Erdrich says her book ‘Python’s Kiss’ took two decades to finish ‘The middles of novels are very hard to write, but the middle of stories are where everything changes,’ says the author.

Just got the new Louise Erdrich book so it's going to be a good day.

Book COver: "The Beheading Game by Rebecca Lehmann Image: Anne Boleyn, 2nd wife of Henry VIII, be-jeweiled and be-pearled ti a gold B, her head from the eyes down is visible and her lower chest, but neck is missing, a torn paper strip reveals the book title where her neck should be. "Fabulous! A marvelously inventive and mythic reworking of the story of Anne Boleyn. I loved it." - Kelly Link, American editor and writer

I did a double take when reading the tagline for "The Beheading Game" by @rebeccaslehmann.bsky.social. I saw the "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" (BBC 1970) when I was just a kid and all the beheadings terrified me and yet I can't wait to get my hands on this book!!

This is Mopar’s daily routine: Sit at the door. Watch for people. Hope today’s the day he gets picked. He’s about 3 years old, obsessed with his people and his toys (he’ll proudly carry them around like it’s his full-time job), and just wants to be wherever you are. No drama. No nonsense. Just a solid, lovable dog who’s ready to go home. Right now, he’s stuck behind a door. He should be on your couch, with a toy in his mouth. Come meet Mopar today

I live with jump scares every day!

“Ravens are the birds I'll miss most when I die. If only the darkness into which we must look were composed of the black light of their limber intelligence. If only we did not have to die at all. Instead, become ravens.”

Despite the appearance of domestic harmony, this 13-year-old photo of (l-r) Ginger Bob, Min and Baby Wilson shows the daily turf war over the cushion in the window. OTD Min has it and the other two want it. Ginger Bob and Baby Wilson were escalating to Defcon2 when I took the snap. #Cats

Book Cover: "Hard Work & Dumb Luck: How a Road through Gangs, Drugs, and a Jungle Ended Up in Hollywood" by Bryan Renfro: Blurb" Bryan Renfro is a semi-retired stuntman, actor, and animal trainer who started out in the 1960s culture of drugs and gangs. After a tour in Vietnam, he returned to find that the man he was no longer fit in the world he’d left. He joined his uncle’s animal show at Universal in 1972 and moved on to work as a trainer on shows like "Here’s Boomer" and "Little House on the Prairie," and as a double and stuntman in hundreds of films and television shows as varied as "Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale," "Avonlea," "Prince Charming," "American Psycho," and "Murdoch Mysteries."On the days that get me down, I think of the names on “The Wall” and I am so thankful for everything I have. I have been very lucky throughout my life, having missed some really bad things—sometimes by mere inches. I worked hard and long, but good old dumb luck played a big part in my life too. Above all, though, I never forgot where I came from. I guess there’s a lesson in there somewhere. —from the Author

For anyone who watched "Katts and Dog" in Canada aka "Rin Tin Tin: K-9 Cop" in the US, our friend Bryan Refro shares behind the scenes working on that show as well as "Murdoch Mysteries" and many more. Available on Amazon in Canada and the US. He's led an amazing life, overcome many troubles.
