West Coast, the Humboldt area quake is a reminder to update your emergency preparedness kits. (True anywhere though.)
Like I always say: “the best time to do this was yesterday, the second best time is now.”

Here’s the @InterzoneMag preorder link for the issue I’m in! My story is called “Copper,” about a cranky but maybe sweet robot. Interzone #295 – https://interzone.press/iz-295/

Wishing a #HappyHanukkah to all celebrating!

Thinking of all the books I have coming out, submitted, in progress now, and coming down the line, and hoping I’m known as a strong, multi-genre writer one day. But I’m curious which books are going to get the most traction from readers. I love writing each one equally.

*bursts through wall* I have seen the full wraparound cover for my traditional publishing debut THE SHADOW GALAXY collection! It’s EPIC!! The review quotes on the cover and praise pages are amazing!!! Can’t wait to share the preorder details with you soon!! #2023debuts #sff

@MaggieScratch Same!

Listening to “Warm December” by Julie London (singing it too/fellow contralto) on loop.

@Tim_DrHook_McCracken I only work for pay in writing and art unless it’s a gift for loved ones.

@SentinelOfTruth Nailed it

@ceorl @TimBoard I’m still here but I’m more often there…if that makes sense

I might start making cover art, for anyone interested. I make watercolors, pen and ink, and mixed media art. And I have #commissionsopen

Period.

@TimBoard They updated today and we are all back over there. I’ve got a much larger community there than here or Mastodon and it’s all creatives so I’ll be spending most of my time there.

Happy to see Hive Social is back! Be sure to go update your app in the App Store. 🐝

For the record:
I am asking my publishers for actual illustrated covers. There is no substitute and we need to pay creatives.
