My phone’s note app is full of weird little things, especially for book 2 and I love that one is just,

“Get Avery a lamp” as if I was going to swing by the store to buy my awkward changeling detective a present.

americans were raised to be so sinophobic that most of us can’t even recognize that china is doing everything they can to save our future while our own leaders drag us further and further behind

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

Giggling. Remembering when I had to QA movie packages for work and make sure things like this didn’t happen. It was tedious. But it still hilarious when studios would send a package with this kind of mistake.
If the cast of Saved By The Bell had to recreate Saved! Who would be who?

It’s not a coincidence their first “AI Actor” is a young woman.

Hey look, Temu is ripping off my book cover!

Does this mean we've made it?

If you want to buy the book for real and support me, my publisher, and THE AMAZING ARTIST WHO DESIGNED THIS COVER (Lisa Perrin), you should buy the book, not this stolen junk.
