After a time of relative stability we've been furloughed for a few weeks, which means our advance for this month will be zilch and a lot will be swallowed up by credit debt.
If anyone could chip in a bit to help us find some balance in the meantime, it'd be appreciated.

This book, which I am very proud of, and think is going to make people really, really happy, answering some questions about planes that I know you love as much as I do, costs less than a single Collector Booster. We're Magic players. We make strange choices with money.

Choose OMENS OF CHAOS.

People say they want Magic novels back. That we want the web fiction, which is free, to co-exist with paid, longer works that have a stricter editorial schedule and require Wizards to lock down a single author long periods of time. We get that by proving we're willing to pay for it.

The single best thing you can do for Magic fiction right now, even if you don't read YA, don't like Arcavios, or personally hate me as a writer, is pre-ordering this book. That sends a message. A very clear one, that is unlikely to be ignored.

The economics of books aren't quite the same as the economics of card sets. They cost less, but involve more dedicated work by one person, which means that in most cases, they take longer. A book represents a major leap of faith for a franchise like Magic.

Let's earn it.

In addition to the #MTGStrixhaven web fiction there will be a full novel set in the school of Strixhaven penned by Seanan McGuire!

Omens of Chaos is a YA novel set at Strixhaven about the first-ever class of interplanar students who have journeyed to the school via Omenpath.

This image depicts the cover of the "Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos" Young Adult novel.
The cover art shows a person casting a magic sphere around themselves. Behind them, roof tops of different buildings can be seen. Across the bottom of the cover reads: "Seanan McGuire. New York Times Best Selling Author".

On this Labor Day, I like to remember that my tea time great grandfather and my great grandfather were almost killed the poison during the Westmoreland County Coke and Cole strikes of 1910 and 1911.

Twice in fact. It made the news in Virginia.

My family has always supported unions.

Always.

It's #LaborDay in the USA.

On Sept. 5, 1882, tens of thousands of union laborers marched from New York City Hall to Union Square to protest deplorable working conditions. Their demands were for an 8-hour workday and safer working conditions. This is largely agreed to be the first Labor Day parade.

The job search hasn't turned into a job yet. I'm trying to keep bills paid so my family can live without the stress of eviction or shutoff notices. This past month has been hard and I'm still short on the mortgage by 500 bucks. I'm in need of #mutualaid. thiiirdperson at cashapp/venmo/paypal/kofi. 🙏🏽
