I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

things are never as bad as they seem sometimes however, they are worse so here is a picture of a baby sloth in a bucket, for anyone who needs a picture of a baby sloth in a bucket

The new book comes out tomorrow If your currently living in a dystopian nightmare this will hopefully offer some relief Or just words, some perhaps poignant, funny ,and insightful Others involving catching giant hedgehogs padded sticks #booksky #books #fantasy #urbanfantasy mybook.to/9WXErmL

In other, also book related news, I accidentally set the hardbacks 6 x 9 rather than 5.5 x 8.5 like my other hardbacks, because I am an idiot This means they are bigger than planned and i am going to have to go back and reduce them to the right size so they match my other fiction hardback editions

I am sure I should be mentioning something about my new book coming out tomorrow But currently, in all honesty, that seems unimportant in the face of some of the things happening in the world

Read banned books. Read books that make you cry. Read books written by friends. Read books you don’t quite understand yet. Read books of ancient magic that transform you into a dark being of the cosmos, capable of such wonderful & terrible things.

So I've finalized the cover for the Auguries of Euryale anthology So much detail went in to this cover Waiting on the PB proofs is killing me mostly as I want to see the cover in the the flesh The book should be out before the end of the month #books #urbanfantasy #reads #booksky
