I seem to have only picked up Eli and Lilith as individual packages; good thing Christmas is coming, I guess!

You're listed as AnnaLinden Weller at DriveThruRPG and Arkady Martine at Warehouse 23; if I'm going to buy it, is one of them better for authors than the other?

May we ask what you wrote for the game? I've got most of the books and supplements in the gaming shelf right over here...

I love that game, but you had to make sure everyone was all on the same page before starting. We had a marvelous short campaign that ended up with a massive brawl on the front lawn of Graceland after wandering around South Memphis one night.

I'd like to have a breakout as "percentage of the overall budget" and "percentage of the discretionary budget", but I also suspect you'd have to explain the difference between them each and every time, so it might get cut for space.

I still maintain this is an example of "asshole solidarity" instead of "male solidarity", though it's tough to read too much intent out of a brief email.

Is there any indication of why a plea deal was offered in the first place?

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the frogs
They are leading forth the unicorns & funny cats & dogs
They are coming from the rivers, from the ponds & from the bogs
Their truth is marching on
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Their truth is marching on

Crest makes a very nice cinnamon flavor, which I've been using for years. crest.com/en-us/oral-c...

Nuke the site from orbit -- it's the only way to be sure.

If I had the money, I'd seriously consider it. Alas, we're not dropping that kind of cheddar on stuff that's just for fun right now.

Come to Baltimore and we'll take you over to see the SS John W. Brown -- tours on Wed/Sat, and if you have $1200 burning a hole in your pocket, you can even take a 3-day Steam School to learn how the engines work! www.ssjohnwbrown.org

15 MW or 15 *GW*?

Or recommending their books, I'd imagine! @bluejo.bsky.social , @byzantienne.bsky.social , @naomikritzer.bsky.social , and @maryrobinettekowal.com are all wonderful people, though my interactions with them have been all too brief. Authors at cons are frequently super busy, as one might expect.

All four are on Bluesky, but I'm still learning how to tag people, so...

After sleeping on it, I also recommend anything and everything by Mary Robinette Kowal (The Calculating Stars); Naomi Kritzer (Liberty's Daughter or Catfishing On CatNet); Jo Walton (Tooth and Claw or Farthing); Arkady Martine (A Memory of Empire).

Carl Hiaasen's new "Fever Beach" was excellent.
