Stranger Than (Science) Fiction

July 15th, 2022 I know y’all have strong opinions on modern television sci-fi: some of you are Star Trek obsessives, some of you still won’t stop talking about The Expanse, some of you say sci-fi hasn’t been good in decades (and are a delight on the internet). For me and my money, nothing beats theContinue reading “Stranger Than (Science) Fiction”

Bubbles For Hedgehogs

July 11th, 2022 I’m sorry. Lately I’ve been in self-promotion mode. (But, kids, we’re selling books, so it’s working.) I made the decision to release the two biggest books of my life within a month of each other; that is the bed I made, and I am stressfully, sleeplessly laying in it. But I doContinue reading “Bubbles For Hedgehogs”

I Squish You

June 26th, 2022 Have you ever squished a bug? I have. When the world feels way too big to fix, my mind starts thinking small, and bugs are very small. But they’re alive.
