His wings come from a Shard of the Dragon embedded in his soul, and their emergence is very hard on his wardrobe.

Tomorrow especially, respect actions taken in protest. If you agree, join if you can. If you don't agree, be respectful.
If you can't (I can't), then do three kind things for your neighbors, for your coworkers, for strangers.

Sara Osborn is the main character of the #FlameAndClaw trilogy.
Her armor comes from a Shard of the Dragon embedded in her soul. Of course, being the geek she is, she thinks she's an official Magical Girl.
Sara: "A-HEM!"
Sorry, Magical Woman.

As much as I detest politics, it's clear that we're all standing in a lake of gasoline and a sadistic lunatic holds the matches.
So I offer this. Listen to the words, not the song, and hopefully your heart will become a song of hope.
For we ARE many.

So all of #FlameAndClaw is now out. All 3 books that's I've been living with and writing and tweaking and editing for over a decade are out in the wild, living their best lives. (see pinned post for deets).
So.. what now?
Start a new book of course! :D
Let's see... I'm feeling something cyberpunky!

It struck me as utterly profound, upon waking today, that the only difference between "Mourning" and "Morning" is "U".
To be clear, I mean U the letter, not you the person. You're awesome.

The sad thing about writing cozy fantasy is that you'll spend the day writing about a meal in a snug inn--sitting around with friends by a fireplace and eating beef roasted on a spit over an open fire, fresh bread and butter--and then you realize it's dinnertime, so you go nuke your Lean Cuisine.

So Friday morning after eight years of stalwart service, my bed frame broke and catapulted me onto the floor. 😞
The new bed frame is being set up now. Sleep at last?
Maybe?

Ah the horns of a new dilemma!
I would LOVE to have audiobooks for Flame & Claw.
Problem: I can't afford to pay a narrator. PLUS, my MC is a 27 y.o. woman, and I am a 50+ dude who sounds like the lovechild of Jeff Bridges and John Goodman.
Damn tempting tho.
