& Pan Macmillan Australia I caught a screening of Deeper today. I enjoyed this story of an expedition to an incredibly deep cave in NZ, by well-known cave diver Dr. Richard Harris & his support team. It also confirms that cave diving is *definitely* not for me. 😁

Speaking of award submissions, a reminder for the Scribe Awards also.
📣 Media Tie-In writers 📣

The Scribe Awards are now open! Eligibility is for works published from 3/1/25 through 2/28/26. Novels are 17,500 wordcount & above. Short Stories are anything fewer than that. An Audio Drama is not an audio book, it is a scripted drama written to be performed. Good luck!

After a rough night feeling ill, the last thing I felt like today was sitting on the tarmac for AN HOUR before my 5 hour flight. 😩

I hate to say it but I’m feeling a bit rundown... Early night ahoy.

Scambots pretending to be James Hetfield and asking me to DM them because I said the #Metallica concert was great. 🙄
