I love it when people request my books in libraries. Win for you and win for me. Libraries are amazing!
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Libby this is not how you help libraries or our communities are you kidding?! Stop trying to make it sound better than it is. Those lists already exist in there. Librarians already exist in their communities that can give better recs than anything this slop can. Ditch this crap. What a bad idea.

Not luddite as anti-technology. Luddite as in desiring to work in harmony and honesty with technology I understand and respect and maintain. Luddite as in fighting against those who warp it into monstrosity and leverage it against humanity and community and the common good.

"Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.
