There was a magic in how Florence broke down his vision into square feet and inches of wood, and tiles, of bricks and plaster, and then cast it into a balance of beauty and economy. She scrawled sums, and formulas stretched over the page, and she tallied them and left little notes in the margins.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Thank you 🧡

Coincidentally, today I received two publishing contracts (small, but very cool). Both included anti-AI clauses that I had insisted upon. These (see below) are suggested by the Australian Society of Authors, but applicable anywhere. Use them. Protect your rights as a creator.
