I know I should be editing but a friend got me my very first fountain pen and I'm busy playing with it.

It's so tiresome to do, but there is no substitute for reading your draft out loud while you edit.

Sometimes I hate editing. Progress has been slow the last couple of weeks. But at least there is progress.

B&N May be a big box store, but never underestimate the influence of the book sellers that work there. My wife makes sure our favorite local indie authors are well represented. Can you spot the four @cheriepriest.com books at the Issaquah store?

Reading The Drowning House by @cheriepriest.com. What do you call southern gothic that takes place in the modern northwest? Also, not sure what's scarier, the haunted house-wreck or the terribly accurate and depressing descriptions of getting older.

Another lap around the sun. I put this print by Caravaggio, in my office. The painting depicts Jerome as a life long scholar with a skull to remind us of our mortality. For all its flaws, I've sought to constantly better my mind and as long as God blesses me to be in this rock, I intend to continue.

This is a great series. This is up next in my TBR.
Oh, I hate when a 7.62cm cube appears in the crown prince's head. But I love when it starts a big, fun murder mystery. Sasha Bonkowsky reviews Daniel O'Malley's Royal Gambit for Reactor:

I own at least a dozen of Cherie's books and love every one of them and will be buying this one. It baffles me that she is not more popular. This post is heartbreaking but not uncommon. So few authors can make a living just in their books.

I've read the last three books on this list. If the other two are as good as the other three then this is a banger list.
Welcome to the dazzling spectrum of Weird Wild West stories, from cowboys and outlaws squaring off against supernatural creatures to outlaws terrorizing the Martian frontier! What are your favorite examples?
