Someone asked me if I'm planning on getting professional headshots done at World Fantasy Con.

Lol, I say. LOL.

And I don't say lol lightly.

Autistic people are told what's 'normal' all the time. Even if what's being called 'normal' doesn't sound very 'normal' to us...

'Magic, Maps, and Mischief: A Cozy Neurodivergent Adventure' is out October 24th!

“There are no elves in the basement?”
Greton nodded. “No.”
“Why are you nodding, Greton?”
“I am agreeing with you.” The old man swallowed, but the large lump taking residence in his throat refused to shift. “I agreed that there are no elves in the basement behind me.”
“A person usually shakes their head when they say no, Greton. Not nods. That’s what normal people do, shake their heads.”
‘That’s what normal people do’. If the old Sparker had a gula for every time he’d heard that phrase, he’d be richer than all the bankers in Lira City combined.
Gritting his teeth, he let the barb slide for the good of Lura and her children. “Yes, of course. I shall try to remember that.”

No book launch for me at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social - mainly because I didn't know this would be coming out so soon! - but I'll have copies of Magic, Maps, and Mischief with me. Let me know if you want one so I can bring enough, I guess! 🦉
