Get yourself an editor who hypes you up mid-edits. I cannot tell you enough how amazing @rhppress.bsky.social is. They are good people doing good work and I am so lucky to be working with them.

I deeply appreciated the chance to write a gnarly little mystery set on Capri, complete with a dead fashion mogul, a shipwreck, and an annoying little dog! #amwriting #mystery

Matthew 6:5-8
New International Version
Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Jessica Tarlov: I'm stunned that Republicans want to draw attention to this because... the senators who were part of this investigation are not just random names that he picked off a list, but people who were named in Jack Smith's charging documents for trying to turn over a free and fair election.

As @victoriastrauss.com has been teaching us for years, this is not the way any of this is supposed to work.

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

Something Ezra Klein hinted at in his conversation with TNC last week is still gnawing at me: That Liberals / Democrats may need to redraw the boundaries of what is acceptable so that Trump is no longer excluded. I think that is precisely the wrong answer to our current situation.

Tonight, in D&D:
The Orphanmakers leave the Underdark, and head for Barktown.
Vampire spawn attack their campsite.
At a small unnamed village inn, they meet Edgin Darvis and Doric. These two came to the area due to rumors of deaths and disappearances.
An angry two headed giant lumbers up outside!
