Good Stab charting again
Just, in trade paperback this time. Made #4 on the NYT list in hardcover/cloth, and now it’s 40 on USA Today! Those red edges are pretty cool. Well: Weasel Plume alive and running them, that’s the thing, right?
Reactor & BHH x 12!
Man, a twelve-part review? I mean, really, less “review,” more . . . more “extended interaction with the novel, the characters, the world, the genre.

Talking Vampires
Had a couple hours between other stuff, got this together—well, collated/half-remembered/synthesized my various answers I kept giving to the question about vampire traits in The Buffalo Hunter Hunter: (also available through Hot Topics>talking about)
Touring through the UK
Was my first time there, thanks to Titan. And thanks to my hero publicist there, Kabriya Coghlan, for making it all run so, so well. Guess I’ve been back nearly two weeks now? Something like that.

LA Times Book Prizes
I hear that maybe The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is the first novel to be a finalist in TWO categories? Could be, not sure. Either way, super honored by it—thrilled to be alongside these amazing writers and their excellent books: https://www.latimes.com/events/festival-of-books/book-prizes
Appreciate the Effort
(I don't know how to feel after the library committee meeting tonight. Part of me is appreciative that I did not get any significant resistance on most of my titles, including Disability Intimacy and Year of the Tiger. But I am still crushed that I lost on this one, and mad that it came to
