My fav Shakespeare thing is how Henry IV part 2 starts with Majel Barrett Roddenberry saying, "Previously on Henry IV..." and there's a clip reel ending with Hotspur yelling "FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT."
Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."
Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."

This series so SO GOOD.
Solomon's Seal in eBook and audio is in a big Kobo sale this week, and in price matching in my own shop I opted to discount everything available in the series.

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

Here's a short story which is relevant and satisfying.
Have you read my story "Dybbuk-Draw" over at Kaleidotrope?
Some of us are born with certain gifts, as @devanbarlow.bsky.social shows in the new fantasy story “Dybbuk-Draw.” Don’t we have a responsibility, then, to use those gifts to help?

They are FANTASTIC books, you should buy yourself all of them right now!
Buy my books they love Hallmark while making fun of it, they're queer+ socialist + they take place right now (well, not my problematic middle child, but we don't talk about Levi) and if you put them together on a shelf they make the bi pride flag!

@kbspangler.com edits my self-pub books and is *amazing* at helping me figure out how to best tell the story I'm trying to tell!
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.
