You know what you don’t see on bulletin boards at local restaurants?

Actual orthopedic surgeons and actual doctors with actual medical degrees based on actual science.

The LA Public Library research librarian explaining what is going on with Charli and Taylor is outstanding work

Happy pub day to @clclark.bsky.social! I had the pleasure of blurbing FATE'S BANE, which I thought was excellent, and I'm looking forward to finishing Touraine and Luca's tale in THE SOVEREIGN. One of my favorite fantasy writers right now!

New interview with C.L. Clark at the WOW newsletter today.

I fell in love with their writing through a short story analysis on the Writing Excuses podcast. I was thrilled when C.L. agreed to do this interview - & was blown away with all the great craft advice!
