SF&F Author Adam Gaffen

There ought to be enough at the end of every chapter to entice the reader to turning the page - the only place you have it all tied in a neat bow is at the very end, when you're done-done.
Putting the book down to 'come back to it later' is a d ath sentence.

If it's for MG/YA, then they might be fine with it?

A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

Donald Trump. An Apology.

The new Private Eye is out now

Nancy Mace's Federal Trans Bathroom Ban Would Apply To Major Airports, Hindering Travel Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who has targeted Congresswoman Sarah McBride with a bathroom ban in the capitol, is now pushing a sweeping federal bathroom ban for trans people.

1. On Wednesday, Nancy Mace announced a federal bathroom ban proposal.

If it becomes law, it will impact major DC airports like Reagan and Dulles, and could snarl travel in the leadup to world pride, which is expecting over 3,000,000 LGBTQ+ visitors.
