<\/a>Okay let’s start with the most important news of them all: yesterday I took a photo of a red-tailed hawk firing a\u00a0rocket of pee-poo\u00a0<\/em>out of its\u00a0clearly weaponized cloaca<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know, I know —<\/p>\n

You’re welcome<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Seriously, I was sitting here in the shed and the hawk — who I assume is a lady, as she is ginormous, and the ladyhawks are bigger than the brohawks — flew right in front of my window, then landed in a tree across our driveway. I make a habit every day of bringing my camera out just to have it, and so I quick started snapping some shots…<\/p>\n

When the tail lifts, and the bird exorcises a ribbon of ghost poo.<\/p>\n

As captured in that photo, above.<\/p>\n

The photo does not capture the\u00a0sheer distance<\/em> achieved, however.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this is the news you crave, I know.<\/p>\n

LET’S SEE, WHAT ELSE IS UP.<\/p>\n

Well, a little movie based on some authorial shitposting is now available on Shudder<\/a>, as well as on Amazon<\/a> and iTunes<\/a> — that’s right!\u00a0You Might Be The Killer<\/strong> is now watchable at home. (I know this isn’t necessarily internationally true; I don’t control that.) You can buy it. You can rent it.<\/p>\n

So that happened.<\/p>\n

The new episode of Ragnatalk is up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, I know that I didn’t do a Macro Monday post — hey, it’s the holidays, we’re all kind of flying a little loosey-goosey here. Expect one Monday. OR DON’T. You never know with me.<\/p>\n

Finally, the sixth and\u00a0final<\/em> (gasp) Miriam Black book is out —\u00a0Vultures<\/strong>. It wraps up the series, tackling the one outstanding mystery: who, or what, is The Trespasser? You can pre-order it in print<\/a> or eBook<\/a>. That’ll be out on January 22nd, with an audio edition coming, too. There’s\u00a0also<\/em> a new Miriam-universe novella, following the character of Wren with a story that takes place between\u00a0The Raptor & The Wren<\/strong> and\u00a0Vultures<\/strong>, and has a bunch of cool psychic slasher-killer stuff going on. That’s gonna be in the three-novella collection Death & Honey<\/strong>, alongside fellow penmonkey cohorts Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne. You can preorder a limited edition signed\/numbered hardcover<\/a>, or nab in eBook<\/a>. That comes out February 28th, with a cover by Galen Dara.<\/p>\n

AND I’M OUT.<\/p>\n
