When one of your dearest friends builds you a Tiefling Tower for all your Tiefling chaos!

I feel deeply honored to have one of @marysangiovanni.bsky.social pieces. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion poured into this wee Tiefling warlock tower is something truly special.

We’re just two weeks away from AuthorCon VI in Williamsburg, VA!

Here’s my schedule for panels & readings. I’ll also be serving as a judge for this year’s Gross-out Contest. If you know me, you can probably expect plenty of animated facial expressions because I have no poker face.

Goodbye to a great actress 😎
(I’m wearing sunglasses because I’m
in mourning, David)

Catherine O’Hara is and will always be one of my all-time favorite actresses, and I was really hoping today’s news was just a hoax. I’m absolutely gutted to hear of her passing.💔

Bea’s story in This is How a Villain is Made will unsettle and move you as it lays bare the struggles of women in a way that cuts deep. While set in the past, its themes echo powerfully today, perhaps louder than ever.
