Out for coffee with my friend Sioux at the coffeeshop that I wrote into Monsoon as Café Legend - the perfect place to announce that the paperback is now available on Amazon! Thanks to @hollyda.bsky.social for the beautiful layout! ❤️ Cover and interior art Procreate/Photoshop. tinyurl.com/MonsoonEB

First rain of the monsoon! I have so much to do but it's good to take a minute to sit on my porch in the cool damp and listen to the rain mixed with the sounds of downtown. It's a lovely balm to the stress of the day before release!

So...
-The Monsoon e-book is still coming out 7/3
-The VERSION of Monsoon that is coming out 7/3 is... the ARC edit.
This is my own fault. I sent ❤️ editor & formatter Holly *132* copy edit items at the last minute. There wasn't enough time to implement them before Amazon locked editing. I lose.

Still working on final edits for Monsoon, and then the special art for the limited edition book boxes, but I've also started my next* book. It was coming along vaguely until this idea settled, and now I have a plot and a title!

June's Monster Brides book is from Grace Mirchandani with a cover by Kit Fox, and it looks amazing!

We could just house people instead.
"The drones won't just be eyes in the sky. They will be able to communicate with homeless people. The department said this will prevent officers from exposing themselves to potential risk, such as loose animals, terrain issues and other hazards until they are sure it is safe to move in."
Sacramento County to use drones to track homeless people on probation
The county's probation department said it needs the drones to contact homeless people who are on probation, specifically in hard-to-reach spots like along the American Parkway.
