I'm doing an Ask the Agent (Live!) event on 3/25/26. It's a Q&A format, aka, "Everything you've always wanted to know about publishing but were afraid to ask." It does cost $20, but all proceeds are going toward a residency scholarship.

Very excited to be a part of this anthology about my beloved NYC. Home of my youth! Kickstarter launching soon! Here are the details to be notified tinyurl.com/3m8fk62t
Totally missed this news. Good thing we have the satirical news...
Am taking a performance art workshop. In French. The direction was to move for seven minutes holding space for the word lieux. Which means place. I heard the teacher say vieux. Which means old. Let’s just say I was moving in the room with a totally different vibe.
This demonstrates the importance for time travellers of having a change purse with clearly marked compartments for different currencies. (Pick one up any year after 1893)
Van Allen Probe A, which studied how our planet has been protected from harmful space radiation, could fall to Earth tonight. Here’s what to know

"But I don't think they make that much!"
Halve that. Halve it again.
Generally speaking all pre-orders are equal. Publishers note where the preorders are coming from, but mostly for their own information. That said, remember you can also pre-order books at your local bookstores! It's not just an online thing. Pre-ordering locally helps the bookstore and the author!

Corey was a student at Performing Arts High School right before I started there but him and his talent were legend at the school for years after he left. Sending love to all who knew him.

An anatomical drawing of a cross-section of a man's head. The eyeball has been replaced by an RSS logo. To the left of the face is a "code waterfall" effect as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movie. To the right are clouds of grey roiling clouds, infiltrating the brain as well.

Just think; one day there’ll be so many Game of Thrones prequels that we can watch the entire saga in chronological order and dislike the ending in an entirely new way.
