Weird for me is that I remember seeing it as a kid.

As a former public servant (and I wasn't embarrassed by that expression) this is one of the things I love about the books. Ana and Din are working to keep the government healthy and honest.

A pair of cheerful images this morning.

Against a pale green blurred background, a raven perches on a brown fence post. Its body faces the camera and its head is curved to viewer's left. The ruffling of feathers on breast and head can be seen. Very glossy.

A green-backed hummingbird hovers, drinking from a long, tubular purple flower, one of a cluster of them. Lavender colored flowers show lower left, in-focus leaves surround the bird and the blossom cluster.

Something tranquil this morning.

At dawn, against a backdrop of dark evergreen trees, a doe stands facing the camera. The grass under her feet is pale green.

Two rejections in the past two weeks, but 2 different indie bookstores want some of my books on consignment, so that's good.

Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg, CA.

A small fishing boat, in the center of the frame, heads to the right. the water around it ripples, creating a blurry reflection of the highway bridge, and a crisper reflection of the boat itself. A wake fans out to the left.

Beaky Raven.

A ruffled raven sits on a white fence post, a walnut fragment under one talon. The crow looks to the right. The eye can be seen and the beak is thick, long with a noticeable hook. Picnic tables in background.

I love the Mendocino Coast Writers Conference every year, but this year the synergy of the Speculative Fiction workshop was off the charts! A great workshop leader, great writers, and generous, committed readers. #MCWC2025
