Almost 6 months later (due to issues with customs), I finally have my novella in my hands! Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle is a dark space opera about a ship returning to Earth after a failed expedition! 🌌👩‍🚀

A white man in glasses with a black, greying beard in front of a bookshelf. He's holding the book, Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle, which features a skull in a space helmet. The man's shirt contains two Egyptian figures and a Stargate with a pyramid on its center, plus two staves underneath it.

This is super cool bc:

1) Many of the highest-risk conditions, like ME/CFS & Long Covid, aren't on the list

2) The best way to protect the vulnerable is to protect the population so others don't infect them

3) None of this accounts for Novavax which is not mRNA

CDC panel votes to limit who is eligible for this fall's Covid vaccine

Only people 65 and over or with underlying health conditions should get the shots, the advisory group recommended. There may be insurance roadblocks for others.

A story in Helen McClory's collection, "Lore," creeped me out so much I still remembered it years after I read it. It's in her wonderful collection, MAYHEM & DEATH. It's available at 404 Ink if you're in the UK.
