I inly heard about them reading the blurb for the author at the end of the book. I’m going to watch some of them when I get to the hotel!

I just finished Strange Houses by Uketsu. Devoured it on the flight to Denver. Gotta get my mits in Strange Pictures. If you like multimodal mystery stories (graphs, pictures and text in this instance), you’ll really like this one. Definitely for fans of HorroStör

The Fox is free! Today my debut, Audition For The Fox, is officially out in the world. Magic. Fables. Time travel. And the many ways even a goofball can resist oppression & fight tyranny.

Thank you to everyone who had a paw in bringing this into the world & supporting it. Forever grateful, I am 🦊💜

Finished cover and copy for Audition for the Fox, on a table.

Very glad I went ahead and bought all three Danielle Cain books by @margaret.bsky.social instead of just dipping my toe in with the first one. They're all quick reads and very hard to put down!

Then, instead of going Mad Max, humanity decides to take their advice, and create a sustainable and cooperative society.

That’s just the backstory of the Monk and Robot duology by Becky Chambers. It’s full of hope and humor. Highly recommended. Only $18.99.

Imagine this:
A world depends on fossil fuels and robots for manufacturing. One day, these robots gain sentience. BUT instead of going Terminator on humans, they look around and say,” y’all got stuff to work on,” and walk into the wilderness.
