Part of my day job, not connected to AaN, is to design books for authors, poets, and organizations. After 30+ years I know a few things. If you are looking to have a cover or book designed, I can help. No AI slop ever. 100% human designer. DM or email me.

We watched Babette's Feast last night. A friend recommended it when I told him about how much I loved The Taste of Things. It was lovely and a little bittersweet, and if you like movies about food and haven't seen it, you should definitely check it out.

Because it apparently needs to be said: I have never fucking used the AI/LLM/chatbot/plagiarism machine and I never fucking will. If you use it, I think you're a bad person.

Finished a new story tonight, feeling pretty good about it. I'm pretty sure it's the first thing I've written since my dad died that isn't, at its core, about my dad dying. It's nice to write about something else. To feel like I have more in me than grief.
