Over 40 attendees at this event. Incredibly proud of these three writers! Loving the interest in On Fire.

M.E. Proctor (@meproctor.bsky.social) graciously dedicated her most recent installment of The Roll Top Desk to my cover for KANSAS CITY BREAKDOWN, giving readers a cool behind-the-scenes look at the design process.

I loved this book by @steveweddle.bsky.social, and I often find myself wondering what a sequel would be like. I hope one day we get one because this story was such a delight!

I would love an Anthony Award nomination of On Fire and Under Water—for the talented 15 authors and the dedicated editorial staff at RHP who poured their all into these stories. This anthology rings with truth, while also being and entertaining, empathetic, & emotional read. Thanks for considering!
