When you arrive 10 minutes early to the estate sale, and there's already a line. The early bird catches the typewriter. It's me. I'm the early bird.

Finally here and just in time for #furlandia Wind Singers must prove themselves in battle, and not even a lost colt can escape his desire to fight... and to win at any cost.

Archer Management clearly took advantage of what authors - no matter the genre - have to go through to promote their own work, which is their passion. And by “go through,” I mean, in large part, SPEND. www.cbsnews.com/amp/baltimor...

Dealing with grief tonight quite suddenly and glad for family. A long late afternoon soak in the sunny hot tub with my kidlet has had at least a calming effect. Cherish the time you have with those you love.

While one author can create an entirely new world unassisted, Meta requires 7 million worlds to create a pale facsimile of one human's creativity. It's clear to us which is more valuable. We are extremely proud to stand behind Jason's words. Keep tech overlords in fiction where they belong.

I know it's ridiculously late, but the third Hybrid Nation novel, Augmented, is now available. The final installment, at least for awhile. "An enemy on his heels, a traitor in the backseat, and the devil behind the wheel." 📚💙🐻https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4Q1MDN7

It's trans day of visibility. A good way to show your solidarity is to call/write your Congress people and demand we stop national persecution of trans and gender non-conforming folks.
