When looking to cast someone to play a demon from hell who else would you choose other than your older sister? :)

@aliciahillervo.bsky.social has only been a lifelong best friend, but she's an immensely talented VO and Off Broadway actor. Having her help was invaluable.

Thank you, Skids!

My audiobook's here! It's real, it's whacky, and it's an abomination!

Hornytown Chutzpah's a Jewish fantasy noir (think Who Framed Roger Rabbit meets Michael Chabon) about a demon framed for murder in the Devil's corner of D.C. and a detective armed only with a super soaker loaded with Manischewitz red wine who attempts to help.

I love when my translators have questions. The splendid Mikael Cabon in France needs to know if a river in Written on the Dark flows into the sea or into another river: his word choice will be different.

When translators are careful it is a gift to an author AND a reminder to protect them from AI.

In the spirit of one like one line. In the spirit of one like/one line. I thought I'd try something a little different. For every heart this skeet gets I will will post a line or review from the Hornytown Chutzpah.

Thanks for the kind words @jolantru.bsky.social

It's a little weird feeling upset that my upconing satire is still timely. Part of me hoped that the issues I was writing about would be resolved before my heroes hit the shelves.

Luckily, I still got a water balloon full of Manischewitz!

I don't know Minneapolis. I've only been there once. I went to an SFFCon called Fourth Street, but it was one of the warmest experiences I can remember. Every one was eager to adopt a stranger, chat, joke, and share a bite. It was instant community.

I hate what's happening in Minneapolis.

I made a one-word book promo video for Hornytown Chutzpah. I'm just not sure if the word fits the book better or the times we are living in.

Abomination

Today was my parents' 62nd wedding anniversary. Anticipating the weather, they were still able to celebrate with a wonderful homemade meal including Maryland-style crab cakes, potato perogies, steamed cauliflower, and a chocolate bombe.

Glad I pulled this off. They are amazing people.

This bowl is deeply problematic. The wizard who crafted it forgot to give it eyes or ears. Imagine the poor bowl's plight as it walks hoping to find the person in need of soup with no sensory information except those gained from the soles of their feet and the pads of their toes.
To bring a smile to your face this weekend …

An ancient bowl with human feet!

Made in predynastic Egypt around 5,500 years ago.
