Congratulations!!

Oh, this moment in Believe in the Hail Mary from Daniel Pemberton’s score — where the bass, drums and guitar kick in… it soars. Love it.

Had a great time at the Fort Amherst fantasy festival! Met lots of readers, old and new, and looking forward to next year!

Congratulations!!

😂

This was so much fun and we also get to chat about Jaxxon the rabbit and how my love of Stat Wars began…

Really enjoyed Qualityland by @marcuwekling.bsky.social — a wryly funny satire of a consumer society that feels like it’s set five minutes in the future. Like Gilliam’s Brazil, but with added social media and consumerism. Your basic everyday nightmare. That’s a recommendation. 😁
