It's #Caturday! Prequel anyone? A reader of my Imago Prophecy emailed me to say, “That single moment feels like the emotional centre of your entire story.... hope & collapse existing in the same breath and how that friendship is tested under prophecy, war & betrayal.” Thank you, reader! #BookSky 📚🪐💙

Publicists, editors, writers: When querying an author for a book blurb, DO NOT offer a suggested blurb for the queried author to "use or adapt." One, authors actually do know how to write. Two, you are saying, unintentionally or otherwise, "I don't care about your opinion, I just need your name."

One, I live in a county that went 81% for Trump, if I'm going to have such political discussions it will be with neighbors face-to-face and not with some random Russian bot on X, two, I'm not on social media to dialogue with Russian bots, I'm here to enjoy myself and hang with cool people

My favorite bird was right outside my house last night hooting the song of his/her people. 🦉
