Two outraged plotting cats

aka “Stop that sorcery at once, father.”

I cannot even begin to describe the huge smile on my face thinking about this. It's a deal.

What I love about Scott's YA/MG is he DOESN'T dumb it down. He speaks to little humans like they are capable of enjoying a story without condescension. His "Problem with Prophecies" series, for instance, is funny and awesome.

Scott Reintgen has a new book out!!!!! Here's my synopsis of the brilliant series. (I've said this before, I'll say it again: Scott is one of the best world-builders in SFF right now.)

I'm still freaking floating.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

What a hell of a nice thing to come back to, after a con. I heart AK Faulkner.

Weston Brown raised his voice at the Granbury ISD School Board meeting and illustrates why representation matters in our school libraries. 👏 #txed #bannedbooks TikTok video by Chris Tackett

This. More heroes like this. What an impressive, moving speech when you consider who is in the audience and how heartfelt and smart the speaker is. Way to go, Weston Brown.

I'm at this conference, and the presenter seems desperate that no one is raising their hand to ask a question, and the top of my head really itches. I already know where this is going.

And a quick TMC update: writing is going very, very well. Just finished a chapter the other day, and the beta feedback was so inspiring that I'm diving into the next scene right now. Closer and closer, I get -- it's really looking like October or November may be a finish line for the draft.

It's been a while since I shared a snippet, so here's one from my Patreon site. I'll be using that site as a launching pad for fresh content in the future.....

♥️♥️♥️

My birthday gift to you all is this little sketch of Brand with a kitty - modeled after my own, to go with the little tweet @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social posted after DragonCon this year!

(ahahahahahaahah I LOVE IT, and I already have so many notes on Brand's futurte cat. this is how I'll see the cat now, a little Tosia.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRUMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first read-along - Chapters 1-3 of The Sunken Mall!

I'm using Facebook as a free platform for discussion. My principality and arcana patrons on Patreon are always invited to the live Zoom where we discuss the chapters. But check out the recording here...

Gonna go ahead and blame @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social for this near impossible standard he's set. "Everyone should have a Brand." - absolute facts, but also Damn we deserve an Addam in our lives too!

I got to have coffee with @klmcclan.bsky.social today, and it was the high point of my week!!!!!!!! I love the fact that so many readers have become friends. My life is so much fuller than it was 10 or 20 years ago. ❤️

Sometimes the order of Reddit posts more or less answer the question at hand.

And fuck that senator.

I had such a good time hanging out with you! And you did such an amazing job on your panel!

Let me check on that! I do think I’ll be putting Sunken Mall through the reader group first!

(miss you!)

I cannot wait to work on the Omnibus edition of all “extra content”! Those stories are my own fan fic, and have all my heart in them :)

Ahahahahahahaahhahhahhaha! Thank you again for the red hair beacon too!

Meeting readers is always a high point — cheers, Jennifer!!

It was so nice to see you!!!

Heading on a plane home soon! What a hell of a great weekend. But if anything does go wrong, please, I want you all to know that by the end of the series, yes, Brand does get a cat.

Cool! I’ll be in the embassy rooms for an 11:30 — should be there by 11am

Oops. 12 minutes!!

Two panels left!! One tonight that I am REALLY looking forward to; then tomorrow at 11:30 followed by a somewhat quick exit to the airport. Both are in the Hyatt embassy rooms.
