If you don't know: anywhere from 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted in America. This is according to NUMEROUS college studies, the CDC, and WHO.
And yes, you're just as likely to get PTSD from sexual assault as being on the front lines of an active war.
If I'm up for giving a lecture complete with PowerPoint and a Q&A session, I'll introduce myself as aroace.
If not, I just say I'm queer.

Found this at the dealer's room in MarsCon.
Apparently, these are made of denture teeth, not real ones.
...obviously I needed to upgrade Tooth Fairy's costume. 🦷

CaFae Latte is going on hiatus for the rest of the month, in part because of multiple conventions I have in rapid succession (see the Signings & Events page on my website).

Who do I know who’s got expertise in immigration law? A dear friend’s brother was illegally detained by ICE 2d ago. The family are refugees who fled political violence 20 yrs ago, have followed legal process. He’s at a detention center in Freeborn MN adult detention center.
DM me. Thanks.
I considered the joining the Navy out of college. Even talked to a recruiter about it. Two things stopped me:
1) Trump was elected.
2) I spoke with a vet who plainly told me about all the downsides, including the rampant SA in the military (especially toward women).

Every month, I hire a different indie artist and ask them to draw a character from any of my work. Then I turn the art into stickers, pins, and keychains to give to my patrons over on Patreon.
For March, in honor of Ramadan, it's Husniya!

Seriously? Damn, first I'm hearing of it. I can't see any of that from my end.
It'd probably be helpful to drop the link, huh? 😅

Writing update:
I received my editor's notes for DEMONS' NEST (the sequel to CITADEL) a couple of weeks ago and am about halfway through revisions. They want it back by March 9th. Still don't have a release date, but the edits are getting smaller, which is a great sign!

HA!
Couple of things I see while out and about in Minneapolis.

I hope the history teacher, at least, gave this kid an A.
Not your fault. There really is no such thing as a "good" company, huh?
