I just started it last night, but it's been so special so far ❤️

A photograph of My Prisoner and Other Stories by Tyler McAndrew, which has a white cover and an illustration of a face being obscured by a hand.

Great opening line for today: "It was the time of year when people leave their windows open." from @tyler-m.bsky.social 's "The Familiar Dark", an overall stunning story from the collection My Prisoner and Other Stories.

Right?? "It's just not my thing."

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls. That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents.

Recent late night wanderings in pop culture with @chloeph.bsky.social include meditations on Kirsten Dunst's career. Never too late!

From a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. I made this trip for research on my novel, Sasha the Witch. A number of art works made it into the novel, including these. On the left is "In the Loge" Mary Cassat (1878) and on the right is "Helen Spears" John Singer Sargent (1895). Both photos by me.

oh whoops! Hopefully still enjoyable out of order (if still sad)

I read it also, and exactly 😢. I think I saw the next book is coming out in the fall!

I'm so glad you're enjoying the series! Are you waiting on The Last Devil to Die?

I actually haven't read Six of Crows, although it's definitely on my TBR

I hope you'll enjoy her work!

and some others that might fit the bill: the Alex Stern series by Leigh Bardugo, Starling House by Alix E. Harrow, and White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi

My debut Sasha the Witch is a literary fiction with a fantasy bend you might like! It follows a witch who craves connection and is trying to build up a coven. But she has difficulty with her relationships due to her drinking and mental health issues. tinyurl.com/yzxpjbdy

Contact your Senators ASAP!

Self-publishing is cool as hell and I am always happy when authors at any stage in their career follow me, but please spread the word in your writing communities: you're shooting yourself in the foot and severely limiting your potential audience by slapping that AI trash on your book covers.

eee! Great cover too!

excited to come home and find my contributor copies of the new mcneese review in my mailbox (featuring the last story from my forthcoming collection to be published before the book is actually out in august!)

I think it would be!

The SAVE Act will make it very hard for trans and nonbinary folks to vote — the Trump administration already ended their ability to get passports that match their gender identity.

You need to call your Senators TODAY to make sure this dies in the Senate.
