I'm delighted to announce that my short story, "Tales for a Winter's Night," was published in Suburban Witchcraft Magazine this morning. It starts on page 236. It's flash fiction and a free read.

Last Read: The Man in the Iron Mask by Dumas. The final novel of the Musketeers series and not as fast pace or fun as the first.

Ryan Gosling (yes, the actor) and Zach Shields recorded a supernaturally themed album with the Silverlake Conservatory of Music's children choir.

Miller always looks like some slasher-movie serial killer who's imagining how you would look as a lampshade.

After an apocalypse where a petulant world leader broke what he couldn't control
In a world where the survivors thrive on acceptance, co-operation, and community
A werewolf and a vampire get snowed in together.

Book cover: An androgynous genderqueer person stands silhouetted against an open doorway. They wear a coat and hat and use a walking stick in their left hand. Text reads: Holding Onto Day, An Aromantic Fantasy, E.H. Timms

How is your reading plan going this year? Because this picture sums up mine quite accurately... And it just keep snowing new books ;)

HIGHER MAGIC is out in two (2!) more days!

Today’s snippet may or may not be related to yesterday’s… you’ll have to read to find out.

yankeebookshop.com/preorder-hig...

A quote graphic with a moon and the skull from HIGHER MAGIC’s cover featuring text that reads: HIGHER MAGIC
His laugh was a fragile thing.
"It wasn't all bad. It's nice to get confirmation, sometimes, about what's important. I don't know about you, but I'm great at lying to myself." I risked a glance back up at him, very deliberately not thinking about two of the cards Chuck had drawn.
The lovers and the knight of cups.
OUT IN 2 DAYS.

A brilliant choice for Kimmel to have on his show this week. The song is 35 years old and more relevant today than ever:

"I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three"
