Regarding the Bucks' "risky" attempt to keep Giannis, I don't think people realize how much money Giannis brings into Milwaukee. He's a one-man boost to their economy.
My novel is in the Milwaukee Public Library!
This is cool. If you visit this site and click on the DIGITAL CATALOG button, you can see the Dryad's Crown listed (page 19). It's a catalog specifically for librarians wanting to order indie books. www.ingramspark.com/indieauthore...
From my next novel:
“First time I saw you, you had taken a nasty hit on the head. Second time, you had an arrow in your leg. Now, you’re eating poisonous berries.” Astor gagged and spit the berries out of his mouth.
Or to put it another way: I'm Juliette Nichols in Silo 17. Just trying to survive. And my novel-in-progress is Solo. This temperamental, juvenile, somewhat helpful Steve Zahn dude, and I'm not sure if they're lying to me or even safe.
Writing a novel can be a lonely business. Sometimes, not always, but definitely at certain stages. (This is coming from someone who writes best in busy, public spaces. I need people around me.) Right now, I'm at the loneliest stage. I feel it.
@clclark.bsky.social I just preordered The Sovereign and Fate's Bane from Raven Book Store!

I finished reading Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis. I know it was wildly popular during his lifetime, but it feels like Ovid fan fiction. Synopsis: Boy does not want love goddess. He wants to hunt boar. Boar kills boy. Love goddess is mad and ruins love for everyone else.
Finally got started on Silo Season 2. That first episode was so great. I love how they used silence and phantom noises as a form of dialogue.

"Fairly reclusive author." But that's the thing. He wasn't reclusive, at all. We made him reclusive. (We? Actually, mostly you.) winteriscoming.net/patrick-roth...
Standardized spelling didn't become more common in the English language until the late 15th century.

I need to finish writing my series before Witcher IV comes out—because this is going to DESTROY my productivity for at least a year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nthv...
I just registered. I'll see you then!
My next novel is 32% finished. For me, this is the worst place to be. The "new project" energy is gone. I'm far from completion with nothing to announce. All my confidence has been depleted. I just need to keep working and hope that what I have is a novel.
I'll be there. Do you know where the event is taking place?

In my next novel, I have a scene where a person drinks the poison given to her by a person she adores, believing the poison won't affect her. If this isn't a political statement, I don't know what is.
Good news! The Dryad's Crown has been selected for the IngramSpark author exhibit at the ALA conference in Philly (June 26 to July 1).
