One year ago this afternoon, we walked into a local convenience store to grab drinks and came out with an unexpected item.

Happy Gotcha Day, Calcifer. You're the best little meatball in the world.

Cover of These Precious Things by Susan H. Roddey - a dead, twisted tree in front of an old set of stone steps. The image is a faded, dark wash with green and purple water spots superimposed over it. The title and author name are in gold text.

Quote from Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables, which reads: "Those are mournful days; for there is always a certain amount of right even in this mania, there is suicide in this duel, and these words, intended to be insults, such as beggars, canaille, ochlocracy, and populace, prove, alas! rather the fault of those who reign than the fault of those who suffer; rather the fault of the privileged than the fault of the disinherited. For our part, we never pronounce these words without grief and respect, for when philosophy probes the facts with which they correspond it often finds such grandeur by the side of misery."

If ever you needed a reason to buy one of my books, hopefully this review is it. I am... "gobsmacked" isn't quite a strong enough word.

I like to think of my writing as escapism, but sometimes the rage falls out when I least expect it. From Diamonds & Rust (Wonderland Wars #2). There's more rage where this came from in Book 1. #DarkFantasy

So, I'm told the story itself is problematic -- this apparently isn't the reason for the firing.

BUT.

The QR code works and it is a lovely thing.

In fact, little ghostie is just one of several still-flat crochet critters who need a bit of stuffing.

Obligatory promotional post for new Dark Fantasy fairy tale release.

Wonderland is shattered. It's up to Alice to pick up the pieces and reunite the land...if she can live long enough.
