Cowboy Jamboree's Fall issue is live y'all.
We're kicking off our 11th (!) year with "Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked." The theme was inspired by a Slim Hand lyric & these writers took it in all kinds of cool directions.

At a cake cutting ceremony for their mission, an astronaut shouted me out for my baked goods. A highlight of my life.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Do you know how much of the cover price goes to a trad published writer? About 10-15%.
The various types of indie pub get a higher percentage (but have to do more work with virtually zero publicity budget).

Not quite a pie but had a "lemon tart with raspberry three ways". Cool, creamy, tart with fresh raspberry, sweet raspberry sauce drizzled on top, and powdered raspberry. I believe there was lemon curd under the bottom.

Who are writers you started reading in the last year or so that are now must-read writers for you?
This happens a lot but off the top of my head for me it's Sayaka Murata, Eliza Clark, and Delilah S. Dawson.
Also a big nod to Dan Howarth for wowing me with Last Night of Freedom and Lionhearts.

When 19 was 13 (I think?), they asked for chocolate cream pie for their bday. Being me, I tweaked the recipe I found in a 2000-era cookbook (gift). So: peanut butter-oreo crust; custard from a mix of semi- & dark chocolate, homemade whipped cream obvs. It eats, every year. Silky, rich, crunchy. Yum.

Best pie I ever had was a vegan & gluten free pistachio cream pie. The crust was almond flour mixed with pistachios & butter. It had this heavenly, rich filling made of coconut milk and blended pistachios, topped with fluffy coconut cream. The sweetness came from agave. I still dream about this pie
