In my friend's defense, she thought I was still stateside and didn't know I was back in Seoul.

Now I need to figure out how we can meet up before she flies out.

One of the weird things that happens when you move a lot and you have friends who also travel a lot is that sometimes you wind up in the same city as a friend on accident. Today that means flipping through a friend's photos and realizing they're in Seoul this week and I wasn't tracking that.

It's time for some cover art testing!

This is for ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A CRYPTID. Which cover makes you want to learn more about the book?

Husband: It's July!

Me: *turning on sun lamp and heater in my office*

Husband: We're in the northern hemisphere. It's summer.

Me: It's rainy and the AC is on. What's the difference between summer in this and winter?

Husband: *hands me a blanket*

Quick reminder to all my readers out there that PRICE OF THE MOUNTAIN LILY is out and you can buy it anywhere you get books. It's a rags-to-riches romance perfect for fans of whip-smart main characters with hidden identities and secrets aplenty.

I had a very productive day and it still doesn't feel productive because I didn't get what I wanted to do (curing cancer and inventing immortality) done.

*grumps*

Me: DERTH is too a word!

Dictionary: That hasn't been the proper spelling since 1590!

Me: So??? That's not so long ago!

Math: Well, actually...

Me: -_-

Me: Fine, I'll add the A.

If you keep leaving reviews on YA books saying the characters seem immature and childish... maybe stop reading books about kids? There's an amazing range of books written with adult characters who act like adults. If the teenage heroes in YA books aren't mature enough for you, try not reading YA.

There are people here I will absolutely miss and come back to check on, but I can't keep three social sites running and I need access to local Korean news that I'm not finding here.

After a month away I'm not seeing the value-add of posting on here regularly and I'm finding much more traction (and book sales) on Bluesky. I will probably continue to post general updates, sales news, ect here but will otherwise be using Bluesky predominantly.

Two repair guys are arguing in Korean over my shower and it doesn't sound optimistic.

Let's be grateful the showers at the local pool are working and move on.

I'm heading out to the airport and I'll be back in a few weeks. Updates will be on BlueSky.

I would have loved having someone younger and more in tune than Biden. It's not an option in 2024, so we move on.

We're voting Biden because the other option is a literal criminal and traitor who hates Americans and wants to take away basic human rights.

Cope with Biden, 2028 will be better.

Look, if you watched a presidential debate and walked away thinking Trump was a good choice: you're an idiot.

There's no polite way to excuse the fact you think a criminal liar who betrayed his country for wealth is someone worthy of your vote.

You're trash.

#TheEnd

I write books. If you like books, maybe you'll like mine. Why not check them out?

Treasure Planet was such an underrated movie.

Okay... I have an hour and I need to put up ads for books so you remember I exist while I'm traveling.

Please buy books. The money goes to my grocery shopping.

Writers, post something random from your backlist. Don’t think. Just do it.

THE DAY BEFORE: Clones, quantum mechanics, and corpses... what could possibly go wrong?

Okay... I need to pack, buy presents for family, and PUT A FINISHING PARAGRAPH ON THIS BOOK SO IT CAN GO TO MY EDITOR.

I just... >.<

The ending is off. I know it isn't perfect. The deadline is tomorrow night.

Well, I planned to go to sleep on time, but now I'm E28 of #TheDouble and I need to find a happy scene before I can sleep.
