I'll be at the Bellefonte Cafe in Wilmington this Tuesday alongside a couple other great authors to talk about my latest novel A DARK HOLE DARKLY (probably they'll talk about different novels) and hopefully sign some books!

Should be a fun time.

I don't normally plug my own books in someone else's thread, but here's how I recommend that my fellow authors drop Harry Potter references in 2025 books:
Excerpt from A DARK HOLE DARKLY: "I found the box when I was a kid. In the basement, under the stairs, under a pile of dusty old flea marker board games, in what we called 'The Harry Potter Closet.' Which was less transphobic at the time. Mom wouldn't talk about Dad, but she lemme keep the comics. Wildly inappropriate for my age, but I don't think she ever read any of them."

Oh, cool! The new trailer for KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS just dropped.

I love those novellas! Finally a GAME OF THRONES spinoff that isn't hip deep in inces--

youtu.be/P3MckKNEO4I?...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?
Still from the new trailer for HBO Max's adaptation of George R. R. Martin's KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS. Bunch of medieval looking dudes outside in front of a fire as the voice over declares "Targaryens, they're incestuous aliens."

Dancer: Now would be a nice time to have a quiet nap by myself.

Kitten:
Two grey-brown striped cats laying on a bed. Smaller one snuggled and sleeping next to larger one who just lays there considering life choices.

Okay. So after resolving not too, I miiight have put together a little Lego thing for the author fair today:
A Lego diorama of a foppish man with big black hair and a pocket watch and a robot with wheels and pincer arms. Backdrop has, like, sparks and grabber arms. On a window sill. The window sill's not part of it.

Trying to Google what seem like very straight forward questions that lots of people must have had over time and getting back AI slop + absolute shit results, and it's like
The Simspons meme of Principal Skinner wandering "Am I out of touch? No, it's children who are wrong." But rewritten as "Am I bad at Googling? No, it's Google that's wrong."
