A favorite book with a gorgeous new cover. It’s an honest and nuanced depiction of living with loss that made me an instant @laurelhightower.bsky.social fan. CROSSROADS is a must read.

Thanks to @jawmccarthy.bsky.social for providing this story. THE JOINING comes out in 2 months!

As usual (in my stories), someone is very very hungry.

I promise the next book will smell better (kinda).
Happy Monday (if you're into that sort of thing). Start it off right with some short fiction. "Tongue-Tied" by Shelley Lavigne is FREE to read on the CHM website.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.
