since we want a Hugo for translations, we want translations, right?

and I DO read outside of sffh every once in a while, actually. I think it's important to just. READ. Especially things that come from outside my perspective, expectations, and experiences!

my Patrons are loving my latest story! Maybe you will too?
Check out my Patreon!

For as little as $1 a month, I lost a short story or a preview of a forthcoming longer work

I also do author notes, and I also also reprint old stuff that was never just free online in it's first run

Reading The Siege of Burning Grass by @premeemohamed.com and honestly it is a crime that publishing hasn't given this woman a million dollars to just write books forever

Her prose is beautiful, her worldbuilding exquisite, her characters fascinating

I did NOT know, many thanks
yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

I 100% recommend Maya Kern’s skirts!* they’re gorgeous, twirl nicely, are made super well, and the pockets really can hold a Nintendo switch. Or up to 12 decks of variously sized tarot decks (I should remake that video for proof 🤔)

*and sweatpants and sweaters and cute 70s style shorts

✔️ HUGE pockets
✔️ Made to last
✔️ Stain resistant
✔️ Made in a SEDEX & OEKO-TEX certified factory

All 9 books are now reformatted for a slightly easier reading experience in certain sections 💜.
If you have previously downloaded these titles, download them again ☺️.
Or don't.
I'm not your mother.
Except for you Kevin. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
Here is a trailer for my book series; The First Rule Of Being A Spy.

It follows a group of spies, both out on missions, as well as attending spy classes.

it's #novellavember! what further sign that it's time to start reading Run With the Hunted?
AND, to sweeten the deal, the first narrative cycle (that is, the first three novellas) are 99¢ each in ebook, pay-what-you-want on itch, or FREE on HOOPLA if you've got that through your local library!
