My VOW for Girls project – a special treat for you all. About the new book in my favorite series and how I miss the edge it once had. Also: endorsement quotes (or blurbs) – do they work? Does anyone care? I say YES.
Why I’m participating in VOW for Girls to stop child marriage, thoughts on donating (& why you don’t have to), joy, best ways to build and refine craft, why I don’t journal, and how I’m a Swiftie forever.

My weekend with Darynda and a report on her and thoughts on the joy of writing and living life the way we want to. Also a special FaRoFeb present! And listening to audiobooks at higher speeds – why is Audible against it?
All about my Marketing & Publicity meeting with Tor/Bramble, my upcoming editorial meeting and how creative angst is just a fact of life and never goes away. Also, two more books/series out on submission and can I finish STRANGE FAMILIAR in time???
Updates on NEVER THE ROSES and the challenges of making bonus content. Also, reflections on housework, the contempt for expertise in the home, and being taught and *learning* the best way to do something.
I’ve been seeing the cyclical debates on “we need ratings for books like we have for movies!” so I’m doing a Brief History of Art and Censorship in the last 100 years, why movie ratings were developed, Communism, McCarthyism, and how housework was deliberately created to keep women at home.

I’m doing a deep dive into my thoughts and feelings on the allegations against Neil Gaiman and on parasocial relationships, the writing community, and associated implications. Also, hey! Good news on audiobooks and Spanish translations.
