I took the entire day yesterday to sleep off my Covid booster and flu shot. I have so much to do but my head is so much clearer after forcing myself to rest and reset. Now let’s make some words!

Still sick but...

Functional enough to write today and unpack some Black Friday purchases, including a prop that will be very important next fall.

I'm heading south Saturday to the Briargate Barnes & Noble in Colorado Springs. I'll be there when they open at 9 am and stay until they've had enough of me. I hope to see you. #authorevent

Book Cake!

So something happened this week...

Dropped by West Side Books in the Denver Highlands today to sign stock. It's one of those cool stores that seems bigger on the inside, carrying used and new volumes stacked on of wooden shelves, and full of niches and corners to explore. Check them out if you're up that way. #Denver

Odin’s Morning Perch

Yesterday I got a stern talking to for sleeping in. Today I was up early to keep writing and Odin was patiently waiting for me on the porch. He always comes alone then calls the murder once I deploy some peanuts. He caws and I sing Orpheus's refrain from Hadestown to bring them to us. #amwriting

A collection of David R. Slayton’s (@davidrslayton​) Adam Binder series fan-sketches.

I think I had the impression that should Silver go full elven prince-knightly, his hair changes to reflect that, but… maybe I might be looking too much into it.

Flying in with more LGBTQ+ Urban Fantasy - Trailer Park Trickster & The ...

*I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Cover image and summary from Goodreads*

They are my harvest, and I will reap them all. Returning to Guthrie, Oklahoma, Adam Binder once again finds himself in the path of deadly magic when a dark druid begins to prey on members of Adam’s family. It all seems linked to the death of Adam’s father many years ago—a man who may have somehow survived as a warlock. Watched by the police, separated from the man who may be the love of his life, compelled to seek the truth about his connection to the druid, Adam learns more about his family and its troubled history than he ever bargained for, and finally comes face to face with the warlock he has vowed to stop. Meanwhile, beyond the Veil of the mortal world, Argent the Queen of Swords and Vic Martinez undertake a dangerous journey to a secret meeting of the Council of Races . . . where the sea elves are calling for the destruction of humanity.

This follow up to White Trash Warlock was everything that I could have hoped for and more! Adam is back in his hometown of Guthrie, Oklahoma, and on the hunt for answers about the fate of his Aunt Sue. This novel digs deep into the Binder family history, introducing new characters and old secrets. It also visits places steeped in memories, both good and bad, for Adam, like his aunt's trailer and the home where he grew up. Adam's past is riddled with trauma and betrayal and I liked that in this book we get more communication and reconciliation between Adam, Bobby, and their mom. Vic also gets a chance to see the place that Adam hails from, though his journey there, at the side of Argent, elf and Queen of Swords, is plagued by misadventure. While Adam is dealing with problems close to home, Vic is learning more about the magical world he's now a part of and his role as a Reaper. I enjoyed getting more in depth with Vic's character and I also liked seeing more of his family. He and Adam are total opposites and this book definitely gets into those differences.

This book has it all: family drama, plot twists, dark magic, action, revelations, and two men trying to find their way to each other through a mess of lies, differing views, and inherent differences. I loved book two of the Adam Binder series and I'm anxious to know what happens next!
