It’s my birthday today. I am celebrating reaching level 52 Human by watching some shows I’ve been meaning to catch up on, taking my new OLED Switch for a spin, going for a walk to enjoy the last of the October sun, and avoiding anything that looks even remotely like work. October 25 facts: today…

A wild blog post appears!
I’ve nuked Facebook again, and this time for good–I deleted my account instead of just deactivating it. I’d love to claim that it was solely because of the privacy and ethics concerns.

My WorldCon schedule
I just received my (hopefully) final con schedule, so I figured I’d share it here for the people who are going to be attending and want to come see me and/or the other panelists and participants. Of course, I’ll also be on the floor and at the bars and parties all weekend long when I…

The novel is finally done and turned in, thank the old gods and the new.

This one is a different style than Frontlines: third-person past…

I keep getting asked whether pre-ordering has any benefits for me, and the answer is “yes, it does”. Good pre-order numbers get my publisher excited…
