Help us unbox it!

Then head to the bio 🔗 & preorder your copy of A PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES, mark it as want-to-read everywhere, and generally help the Canarvier family succeed. (A good heist takes a village!)

Nothing - absolutely nothing - prevented news organizations from running this headline before the election, when it was equally true as now and could have made a difference.

I read @nickcourage.bsky.social ‘s first novel, The Loudness, TEN years ago today! I *love* this book & was impressed by how credible Nick’s dystopian society felt YET even when there were terrible things happening (or that had happened) there was always a powerful thread of hope to hold onto.

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

I own one piece of signed sports memorabilia & it’s a @chriswarcraft.bsky.social card.
(I also own some of his books— all of which I highly recommend— signed which, you know, is a bit more on brand for me).
Bravo, my goodman.

The two times I’ve been most jealous of other creatives is imagining when the writer for Succession came up with “you can’t make a Tomlette without breaking some Gregs” and when Kendrick Lamar came up with “you’re trying to strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”

It’s been a year (tomorrow) since my friend V & I saw our first Celebration show (& my 33rd Madonna show) & I’m just now going through all of the photos I took song by song. “Bad Girl” was a song I’d always wanted to see live so it was a treat seeing her perform it with her daughter on piano.

Yup. Obsessed. My intent was to bounce back and forth between Sanderson and Klune as they’re current my new-to-me authors but plans changed: I had to go straight into The Hero of the Ages after finishing this.
