I love it. There is so much of the story built into this artwork that I am sometimes astounded, and even with that, it's plain gorgeous.

You'll need to scroll down since the release date is June 28th, so it is a month (minus 1 day) away, so it is toward the bottom.
This is EXCITING for me!!
When you're editing and editing and doing more editing, everything feels so far away, and now it isn't!

working diligently on my posts
The publishing of any new book always involves making sure to get the word out that the book is out. So I've been diligently working on creating posts on interesting topics about Pyresnakes. Once they start posting, I'll make sure get links up to them here!

I've got my book Pyresnakes coming out at the end of June, and I'm currently ramping up to start posting about it. So, enjoy the quiet for the moment, and be prepared for when I start posting and writing and being all manner of peppy and upbeat!

Happy Mother's Day
A very happy mother's day to everyone!
If you're the traditional definition of mom, or a mom by different means (pet mom, step mom, neighborhood mom, office mom, mom-by-proxy, etc.) you're doing the nitty-gritty hard work of keeping the world running, and I appreciate your efforts.
Thank you for all the time and resources that you put into others. Your energies and your love and kindness make all our lives better.

shout out for science
ScienceMarch was this past weekend and I attended one of the 600+ satellite marches. It was thrilling to see so many people come out for science (and in many places, in the rain, undeterred).
Science should be available to everyone. We should all think critically and check our sources. It is when we blindly follow along that trouble happens. To everyone out there who is pro-science, thank you, and keep on citing those sources and checking your references!
As a writer, I very often write things that are not science based at all. I've written a few ficlets of science fiction (not really my strong genre) and quite a bit in fantasy. You would think that fantasy writing would be entirely the opposite of science, but it isn't. It is a place if imagining, where the mind can make connections that propel forward our understanding of science, of ourselves, of our strengths and weaknesses.
Take benzene for example. The story of Kekule's dream of a snake eating its own tail (the ouroboros that is so famous) helped him finally figure out the molecular structure. (Although some say the story was a hoax. But even if it was -- it just adds another layer of imagination to that of science.)
Here's a link to a nifty doodle on it: https://web.chemdoodle.com/kekules-dream/
