Upcoming Goodies
This great egret is pretty darn great, really living up to the name, five stars, 10/10

I have a PUBLIC APPEARANCE scheduled, holy heckin’ heck! And it’s a place I’ve never been before! I could meet entirely new people and they could meet me! We can talk about good dogs and great tacos and whatever else we think of—I mean there’s lots of stuff to talk about, like books and rock and roll—but dogs and tacos, am I right?

Here’s where I’ll be: Westminster Bookmark in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on July 22 from 5-6 pm! It would be deeply appreciated if you’d buy a book or ten from them as a way to thank and support them for hosting me, but you are also welcome to bring all you want from home and I’ll sign that for you too! They are going to have starter books for my series there (like HOUNDED and INK & SIGIL), but if you want anything else they can totally order it for you if you contact them now, that way they’ll have it when you get there! They can also ship signed stuff to you if you like—again, just contact them now to arrange it and I’ll sign it when I get there. Excited to be in New Brunswick for the first time ever! Maybe some folks from PEI or Nova Scotia might come say hi? Or even…Maine?

Looking further ahead to the fall, I’ll be at Can*Con in Ottawa in October, and a guest at Hal-Con in Halifax in November! If you have been thinking DANG I WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND A SFF CONVENTION IN A SAFE COUNTRY FULL OF NICE PEOPLE, now you can! Canada is awesome! Come see me!

A Thing to Preorder

Coming July 1: the paperback edition of CANDLE & CROW! Still gorgeous, yet flexible! And of course, if you’re a hardcover fan, act quickly to get yours while you still can! But yeah, if you preorder that paperback edition using the link above and you’ll do three things: 1) support a local bookstore of your choice because that online purchase supports a real small business near you, 2) buy me a taco (thanks, it’ll be delicious!) and 3) get yourself a spiffy story with hobgoblins and evil wizards and gods that poop gold and sirens that don’t, plus the truth about the Nine Ways to Nancy, and so much more! You can also preorder this from Westminster Bookmark if you’d like a signed copy when I head up there on July 22!

Quick reminder that if you’d like a signed set of all of Oberon’s stuff, you can get The Five Oberons at a big discount directly from Horned Lark Press!

Hey, can I share a pic I took?

This is Marybeth Meadowmuncher of the St. Lawrence Meadowmunchers, not to be confused with the Merrimack or Manitoba Meadowmunchers.

I've seen some pretty critters this spring and am looking forward to more after the solstice! We’re just about at the longest day of the year, and I hope you have plans to grill up some sausages and give a dog a belly rub, wholesome stuff like that.

What I’m Reading Now

Been hearing a lot about this one, so I’m diving in.

Dungeon Crawler Carl

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.
