Trying out a little retrospection, in the hopes that it’ll keep my work a little more honest and maybe provide an interesting view of what I’m putting in my head. ✅ is complete, 🌗 is partially complete or in progress, ❌ is incomplete, 💀 is will not complete/DNF, ⬛ is NA.

For the moment, I’m trying to include any books, comics, movies, or podcasts that I read, watched, or listened to. Newsletters and blog posts are always going to be irregular; I included two that stuck with me, and “stuck with me” is going to be the standard.

Today’s featured image is from a funeral for a snake we found in a friend’s backyard. It was torn in half lengthwise and had been mostly eaten. I do not know if we misgendered the snake, but at least I know it couldn’t possibly have cared.


If you’re a fantasy reader in the market for a different twist on dragons, have a look at BRIMSTONE SLIPSTREAM, the opening novella in the Streets of Flame series — free to download on all the major retailers.
