Bri of TikTok asks: Why did you write this particular book?
The answer for me is always the same. The Fractured Faery came about because a character (Tynga) got stuck in my head and I started asking "what if" questions.

So, author friends, what's your why for your book?

Write down ideas whenever they come to you! Comic of girl sitting up in bed. "Just had such a good idea, gotta write this down." The Next Morning Girl reading the paper she wrote the night before. "When the glove"

Yikes. Remember when people were getting hepatitis from contaminated green onions? Sometimes diseases have strange vectors and we need vigorous tracking to even figure out what's happening.

I've had the most terrifying morning, computer-wise. For reasons only known to the depths of my operating system, certain websites (like my own!! 😭) were unavailable. DNS cache flush cured it, but yikes. I hate opening the command prompt like it's 1998. #computerproblems

For all we know, they had a government similar to the Iroquois Confederacy and had regular potlatches to strengthen interspecies community ties. 😁

I did make me think differently about the story. And then I got a "free" rewrite because I had to try to decipher bus handwriting, lol.

Just finished Dead Companions by A.W. Hartoin. Delightful cozy paranormal mystery. I also started reading Existential Anthropology by New Zealand anthropologist Michael Jackson. That one is going to take a while!

The post includes a photo of a man in a dark suit and red tie, sitting on a yellow upholstered chair, gesturing with his hand. The second post, quoted below, is by More Perfect Union (@M ...), posted 19 hours ago, stating: 'BREAKING: The Supreme Court just weakened the Clean Water Act’s limitations on raw sewage discharge into our water in a 5-4 ruling.'
