Get your vaccines as soon as you can, would you? Please? I got COVID—the virus—last week, and I'm pretty sure the vaccine is more fun.

Would anyone like to grab one of my Jeremy Creatures? This helps support me as a fabric artist, unofficial town sorcerer, and human being. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Such a phenomenal waste of creators' time and energy. I hate these mubs so much.

I know we grumble about author-targeted bot spam but there is just so much of it. I get almost no other spam. This is 4 days' worth. My filters caught about 3/4.

Buckle up, everybody! This will be one heck of a Story Hour!

Finished WICKHILLS this weekend and you should all read it. It's smart, it's clever, and feels both familiar & novel! Note: if you get a shingles vaccine prior to reading you may have fever dreams that you are in the vigilante spy group trying to save the city. It will get *weird* (complimentary)

Premee Mohamed@premeemohamed.com · 7d ago

AND ALSO I had a book come out THIS VERY TUESDAY! How can that be?! Would love to see folks picking up WICKHILLS -- a ? magical Cold War fantaspionage in a magical city ? I don't know -- but, you know, without blowing your cover. Cover illo by the amazing Tom Roberts! 🤩

Little help. Chemo brain makes me lose words. What is the term for road trip stories? The one where stuff happens but the little side adventures don't really drive the narrative. Think Three Men and a Dog or the Oz books or Clark Ashton Smith's stories about weird places or Lovecraft's Dream Cycle
