- you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that
- Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome. I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at. No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at Is anyone brave eniough? 👀
- So honored to share that It’s All In Your Head got a Kirkus Starred Review!! ⭐️

- "There’s much to enjoy in this collection: a panoply of voices, styles and ideas, with stories tackling different aspects of similar issues... A sobering but heartening theme [of] We Will Rise Again is that there’s no final battle, no completed revolution—only the work to build a better tomorrow."

- Kate Hudson in her best performance is as Claire in Song Sung Blue. Jackman did a pretty good Neil Diamond but I loved him for the human side of Mike. A great Christmas movie for us.

- Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
- They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

- shane being gobsmacked at ilya calling himself his boyfriend after they professed their love and shane literally mapped out a whole 10 year twelve step plan for them to be together forever like you have to laugh #HeatedRivalry

- To add to this - THE MEMORY HUNTERS is not inspired by the Middle Ages. Valerian IV does not wear plate armor. But she does have a sword, is sworn to guard her charge, and went to combat school. And I wrote her specifically to fulfill the princess/knight trope. Sapphically.
- Making my debut at @avclub.com talking about the year's best trend in fantasy publishing: Lady knights.
