Digital cover, text and a bright green lizard, in upper left. Bright green lizard from the cover in upper right. The lizard had no idea it was being observed as it lay on top of the low coral wall, its mouth slightly open, its eyes unfocused golden jewels. Its only concern was with the warmth of the spring sun - not that the spring sun was much different from the winter sun. "The real difference," Magdelene explained every spring to a variety of sweating guests, "is that it goes from being hot to being damned hot." "How can you stand it?" one visitor had panted, languidly fanning himself with a palm leaf. Magdelene's grey eyes had crinkled at the corners. "I like it hot." The visitor, a handsome young nobleman who'd been sent south by his father until a small social infraction blew over, spent the rest of his life wondering if he'd misunderstood.
Today's word is OPEN. Today's #Bookqw from eCollection THIRD TIME LUCKY & Other Stories of the Most Powerful Wizard in the World (also the laziest but the title was already long enough). Like Magdelene, I'm so done with winter...
Still affordable at $3.99 Cdn, $2.99 US, £1.99, and €2.99
ICYMI, KJ and I will be talking at a cool online event!
Re-upping this: we’ll be at the San Antonio public library PopCon this Saturday. It’s a free pop culture, comic, art, games, and book con.
I am doing an online event with the legend that is @tkingfisher.com! We'll be talking about the new book Wolf Worm, the joys of paladins, what is her deal with terrifying horses anyway, and much more. Tickets here, and UK people can get a signed hardback too!
I finally got hit by the Bookclub Scammer -- I was starting to feel a bit left out. Apparently, it's so hard to find my contact info that they sent the email to another author and asked her to forward it. I think I feel flattered that they so desperately wanted to scam me...
That is a wise rule.
Born in '57 but have no memory of any Cold War...anything here in Canada. Although there's a chance I just wasn't paying attention.
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
Pretty much exactly my position.
You can acknowledge that the Iranian regime is brutal and repressive and at the same time say that it is unconscionably evil to attack Iran with no reason or provocation or approval from Congress. The statements are not contradictory. Both can be true.
It’s not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.
I think a lot of Canadians rather desperately want Carney to be something other than a banker, but this thread is exactly right about who our Prime Minister is.
He's an economic calculator and that's about as far as his thinking appears to go.
And a 5th. Seriously, guys, you wait until almost March to remember how to play football?
If West Ham played the whole season like they're playing this 2nd half, they wouldn't be facing relegation. (I stand by that even though Liverpool just got a 4th goal.)
Shittier and more expensive. It's a Doug Ford trademark. #onpoli #topoli
"Protect Ontario" my ass. When Doug Ford is talking, remember, he is lying to you. #onpoli

New: The Ford government secretly reduced Canadian content requirements for two of its biggest transit projects, and when confronted, said no policies had changed.

'Bill 5, also known as the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, reduces the requirements for environmental assessment. By doing so, it weakens ecological protection laws that safeguard the rights of Indigenous Peoples & at-risk species'

If A won't honour ebooks you've previously purchased to give away, I will. As soon as they exist again.
The rights just reverted. New digital editions will be out as soon as new covers are put together.
News Item: Pierre Poilievre to pitch new policies aimed at dealing with Trump in speech to business leaders.
Translation: Pierre Poilievre is going to kiss Trump’s ring.
Cancelling trans people's driving licences in Kansas because some people insist gender is fixed at birth, and cancelling a Tennessee woman's sterilisation op because someone decided her fertility is 'sacred', is setting up precedents to justify anyone's opinion overruling everyone's human rights.
Yep. That's what the line's from. I referenced it in the first Valor book too. LOVE Douglas Adam's work.
Along the right margin is the pie from the digital cover, the original DAW cover--shadow of a dragon on a store front--and the digital cover which has the afore mentioned pie entered on a pile of beats-the-hell-out-of-me over a red dragon tail. It was one thing to know that dragons were big--in the same sort of way space was big, secure in the knowledge it was unlikely the entirety of either would ever have to be faced--and it was another thing entirely to stand and watch a dragon drop out of the night sky. Around fifteen meters from branching horns to the tip of a lashing tail, this particular dragon was ebony and gold, iridescent enchantment and beautiful in the way of very, very dangerous things where admiration and terror became easy reactions to confuse.
Today's word is ADMIRE. Today's #BookQW from Enchantment Emporium, the first of three contemporary fantasies involving the Gale family--who aren't quite Human--and dragons--who aren't from around here.
Available as an ebook, Audible, or used. Shop indie if you can.
