A HOT BOWL OF NEWS NOODLES, so let’s get to slurping.
a) Hey, look! The Book of Accidents is nominated for a Dragon Award in Best Horror, alongside such luminous beings as Caitlin Starling, Stephen Graham Jones, Daryl Gregory, Kiersten White, and Grady Hendrix. Holy crap! And you can go and vote yourself, if you are so inclined to do so right here.
b) The good people at B&N are doing their Book Haul event, whereupon a ton of books are 50% off, including, drum roll please, Dust & Grim! My MG novel about a kid who inherits a funeral home (and cemetery) for monsters! It’s like, $8.50, so feel free to go grabby, if you so choose. Paperback out in October!
c) Did I mention there’s a Wayward giveaway? At Goodreads? Go see! Also we’re formulating a short book tour the week of release, possibly a driving tour given the shenanigans around flying — more as I know it.
d) Gentle Writing Advice, the book, looks like it’ll come out June 23rd, 2023! Looking at covers now, and just did copy-edits. Will pop a pre-order link at your faces soon as I have one.
e) And now a sad bit of news: I’m not going to be attending the Colorado Gold Writer’s Conference in Denver next month due to some unforeseen circumstances (nothing serious, to be clear), so please accept my apologies. Hopefully it’s something I can do next year, if the stars align!
AND I THINK THAT’S IT.
More when I have it.

Can’t begin to tell you how much hope it gives me as an unpublished writer to see someone I admire squee when they find out the cohort for an award nomination.

Too bad the Goodreads contest is only for the U.S. *sad trombone* Some of us are only like *holds fingers 2.54cm apart* this far away on a map!

Another writing book? Awesome! I finished Kick-Ass Writer last month and am half-way through Damn Fine Story. I look forward to the shredded cheese of wisdom among the taco of words.
