ICYMI!

Sometimes, you reach out to your writing heroes and sometimes, they reach back. Despite a book release/tour, fabulous fabulist & keeper of the uncanny, Karen Russell wrote back, read & loved AUDITION FOR THE FOX.

I'd say pinch me, but I don't want to wake up. Preorder now! @tachyonpub.bsky.social

Quote from Karen Russell for Audition for the Fox by Martin Cahill, orange type on a starry background. Quote says in full "‘But for myself, I can say this: the Fox is many things.’ Martin Cahill has created a wondrous, time-traveling, shape-shifting fable that was just what I needed to read. I loved traveling with Nesi and growing wiser alongside her. Cahill has a trickster's gift for storytelling and a poet's sorcerous attunement to language." —Karen Russell, Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Swamplandia & author of The Antidote

Finally got to give @voiceofobrien.bsky.social an advance copy of my book, mirror monster dagger doom — and got to tell him how it only exists because of a chat we had years ago about storytelling. ALWAYS meet your heroes, especially when they’re as wonderful as Liam. Ever thankful, always a treat.

I was delighted to work with @cherylteh.bsky.social and some Discord friends on Vex and Vax beans + card art to celebrate the birthdays of our fine “twins” @voiceofobrien.bsky.social and @laurabaileyvo.bsky.social! Wishing you both happy birthdays and a great year ahead!

From what I’ve experienced from playtesting Daggerheart I feel it gives them More (rather than fewer) tools in the kit to do improv at the table! Age of Umbra will also be a great gauge for the fandom to see what the limits of the kit look like with other kinds of storytelling vs Menagerie.

Thank you! ✨
On my end (not based on anything I’ve heard at work), I can see the arguments for and against DH being C4. Either way, I like what they do as storytellers first, so the gaming system used feels somewhat secondary to me as long as they still have the tools they need to work at the table!

^ my knee jerk reaction aside, I think Matt’s quote to me was exactly what it meant — it’ll be a big part of what they do, for sure! (And it should be, IMO… given the work that’s gone into it…)

As for what exactly that means we’ll just have to wait for them to announce things!

I emerge from edit hell with “3 reasons why you should read my upcoming short story collection” —

- Do you like sorcerer ex-boyfriends getting back together?
- Do you like shapechanger demons with bitchy warlock wards?
- Do you like World-Ending Wizard Hubris?

This book might be for you! 👀

There’s been a fair bit of speculation in the Critical Role fandom about what comes next. I recently got a chance to put this million dollar question to 4 of the 8 founding cast members: Are you stepping down?

www.businessinsider.com/cr-critical-...

Critical Role's founders are over a decade into the nerdworld business — and they're finally answering the big question of succession

The show's eight cofounders started streaming on Twitch back in March 2015, and celebrated their tenth anniversary this year.

Also I’m (clearly) a Critter too so if you just wanna scream about wizards that’s fair game and very valid. More posts another day about my personal side hustles and critterdom!
