For those who listen to audiobooks: another way to support indie bookstores: @libro.fm. I switched from Audible to Libro.fm earlier this yr and am 100% happy with my decision.

This week started with heartbreak, losing my cat unexpectedly, but getting this in the mail yesterday has sweetened the bitter aftermath.

Fiction is a story about something that never happened. A lie, in other words.

I need to write up an interview with Adam as a character. If you feel like helping me out, I could use questions, like a radio show. What, I'm old. Tell me your first name, your city, and your question. I'll select about eight questions for the piece. This is for the Nerd Daily. Art by Jake Shandy.

Current Read: Redneck Revenant by @drslayton.bsky.social. Fourth in queer contemporary fantasy series, with witches, fae, reapers and a central MM relationship. In this one, is someone who died in an earlier book back or is something more sinisterly supernatural happening?

Come see me and my books. I'll be doing the table thing at the Barnes and Noble in Superior, Colorado! This store is new and has a cafe. I'm excited to check it out.

07.11.2025 15:32 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Bookwise, we did okay but I need more books in Spanish next year and some for older boys/teens.
