05/19/21 Snippet, GARY AND THE WENDIGO.
I changed the name because I had it pointed out that “Charlie and the Wendigo” is evocative of a certain author’s name. I wouldn’t have cared if Charlie/Gary turned out to be the villain, since it wasn’t intentional — but since I like Gary, I ain’t going to saddle him with such an unfortunate name choice.

Got some art back from Ben Fleuter for the “A proper picture for my ‘Pickman’s Model!'” Kickstarter.
Rough sketches, but enough to give me an idea of what he was thinking. Truth be told, I liked two of them, but had to make a hard call… hrm. I wonder: maybe I can make it another stretch goal? Like, an variant illustration thing? They do those, right?
I need to think about this more.

It’s an interesting conceit, and apparently people are down on the idea.

I gave it a year, but honestly it’s Amazon or nothing, folks. I’m not entirely thrilled about this, but I gotta be practical. FROZEN DREAMS is by far my best seller so far, and I was leaving money on the table by not having it on Kindle Unlimited.
The second shot is *hammering* me today.
It really is a lot worse when you get the second shot. Fatigue, my arm hurts, and I think I may be running an actual fever?
On the other hand, I woke up this morning saying Wait! Morgan Barod needs to kill a monster made of slime and human vertebrae! Which is correct: he did, and it fixed a chapter nicely, I think. So yay, vaccine-induced fevers.
MORGAN BAROD just sent to the alpha reader again.
This is after feedback from her and my beta readers (if you’re a beta reader and have got anything left to add, there’s still time for feedback). After I have it back from here, it’s off to the editor. It’s in a better place now, I think — by which I mean I hate MORGAN BAROD, and want it to burn. This is apparently perfectly normal.
Patreon Microfiction: “Invoking the Black-Smoke Foal.”
As they say in the world of “Invoking the Black-Smoke Foal”: The Bountiful Mother Ocean made Selkie. Sam Colt made her equal. You’d think more supernatural creatures with hands would have made this conceptual leap*.

*Man, now I want to write a story about a shotgun-wielding Bigfoot exorcist.
Book of the Week: Interviewing Leather: The Todd Chapman Interview and Being the Steve (Justice Wing).
Yeah, Eric Burns-White’s Interviewing Leather: The Todd Chapman Interview and Being the Steve (Justice Wing) is a bit of a mouthful. I hope it sells a bunch of copies anyway. I’ve wanted him to publish it for a long time now.
