@tkingfisher.com we met at DragonCon when we were on a panel together. Would you be willing to do an interview with me for my blog at slipperywords.com? Please? You can email me through the website either way. Thanks for your consideration.

No, I agree. But they have the similarities of the various gods getting together to chat too. Patricia Briggs does this in one of her books too

Turns out that the slalom favors people who are tall and muscular. But hear me out: I think they are overlooking short and chubby. We curl up like a hedgehog or pangolin and just roll right down. We have the small radius plus the mass.

Reminds me a little of Rebecca Roanhorse’s Trail of Lightning.

Has anyone else read Snake-Eater by the incomparable @tkingfisher.com? Because it is awesome. (Minor spoiler so you know you can read it: the dog is fine.)

Book cover for Queen of Thorns by Joel C. Flanagan-Grannemann.
Across the top is a banner announcing "Book Five of Servants of the Moon and Sun" in a clean silvery white font.
Against a deep red background with ominous dark thorny trees and fog, an armored knight dressed all in black and wearing a silver helm and breastplate rides a black horse, which is also armored at the head and body. The knight holds a crossbow loaded with a bright silver bolt in his right hand. The book's title is placed under the mounted knight in large silver letters in a fantasy font with thorn serifs. The author's name is centered below that over two lines in a smaller clean silvery white font.

A cartoon raccoon looks out from behind the cover and pink Raccoon footprints circle the cover.

Manifesting sales for October.
My books are an epic fantasy reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. What if Maleficent was Aurora's mother and what if she wasn't really evil?
The latest is Queen of Thorns.

Disruptive Intent An anthology that challenges expectations, subverts tropes, and fights the power.

Backing this Kickstarter because the anthology is going to be awesome. And, by the by, I'm one of the authors! :)

When you are a writer and your daughter wants to help you kill off characters, she gets you this. @tkingfisher.com, what do you think?

I love MurderBot. I'm on book 5. If you are not reading Martha Wells and T. Kingfisher, you are missing out on some of the best language usage I've read in a long time. I know those authors and I use the same American English language to write, but I swear they have access to words I don't.

If you like LitRPG I cannot recommend Chrysalis by RinoZ enough.

I think it is because those are the most inconvenient times to write things down. 😊

If anyone is wondering what my audiobook narrator for A Wrinkle & Crime looks like, here he is! The amazing Ryan Reid!

@tkingfisher.com Hemlock & Silver is fantastic and Grayling/Sergio is the best cat ever.

I work at a library and I had someone come in from a different country and they were flabbergasted. “You mean you borrow them, return them, and get more?! How much does it cost? It’s FREE?!” Total shock.

“Ryan is so great. This production is absolutely hilarious. The author KILLS it with the pace and wit.” Check out my new Zombie Cosmetologist audiobooks on the Soundbooth Theater app.
