- Crashing waves, gull calls, and a fog horn beckon you to Devils Island because I've signed an audio deal! A FATE WORSE THAN DROWNING is officially getting an audiobook! It was an exciting 5-way auction and I'm so happy it's found its home 🌊💙😈
- What no one is gonna tell you but critical to know is that I am actually fantastic at explaining board games, don't listen to my friends and family ❤️ Yes I double check the instructions, unless the spirit moves me to make a better house rule due to my whimsy mixed into my need for control!!!
- I'm not a super competitive person unless it's for a bit or it's showing how well I can explain something 🫡 I explain Ticket to Ride like they're going to tie me to the tracks if they don't understand.
- Shubenacadie Sam's Groundhog Day event is cancelled due to a huge snow storm tonight/tomorrow and it's wonderfully optimistic for the powers that be to interpret this as him not seeing his shadow, thus an early spring coming. I'd like to bring this kind of hope into the rest of February myself!
- what I read what I'm reading in January in February
- (Yes i counted re-reading my own book when I was doing final pass pages, as is my right!!)
- Otherwise I'm in a bit of a sci-fi, dystopian, and "I'm in a weird place" horror bend right now!
