"Scarlet Morning" by ND Stevenson - new prose novel to release September 23, 2025

ND Stevenson is releasing a new prose novel! You can order here.

Summary: "From the powerhouse creator of Nimona comes a breathtaking illustrated novel following two orphans who leave the only home they’ve ever known to sail with an eccentric crew of pirates.

Viola and Wilmur have been waiting for their parents for fifteen boring years in the colorless town of Caveat. Their lives are a drudge of salt, trash, pirate stories, and what-ifs . . . until one very stormy night, when Captain Cadence Chase breaks down their door. They cut a deal with the captain: Chase can take their most prized possession, a mysterious book, but only if she takes them, too. After all, if their parents aren’t coming, Viola and Wilmur might as well have a grand adventure to find them.

Setting sail into the treacherous and beautiful world beyond Caveat, the two inseparable friends must uncover the facts behind legend—and the key to saving all of Dickerson’s Sea from obliteration—before the truth tears them apart.

Wickedly funny, deeply emotional, and sharply incisive, Scarlet Morning is a tale of love, betrayal, and the extraordinary lengths we’d go to save a world broken beyond repair."

Triscuits were actually named for “Electricity Biscuit” because they were baked by electricity, which was cool at the time I guess

These narsty-looking lumps are the nursery rooms of Callirhytis cornigera, the horned oak gall wasp. The adult female injects a chemical secretion into a live oak twig, which causes the wood to form a swollen lumpy structure around the injection.

The wasp larvae feed off the sugars and starches inside for two to three years. As they mature, the gall will form protruding “horns”, from which the adult wasps will emerge in spring, mate, and lay their own eggs inside the veins of oak leaves. The second generation of wasps hatches mid-summer and creates the woody horned galls the species is known for.
