Still getting fun clothing ads, this one is from Punkoutfit A. This one would be great for Vic, especially considering what he's up to in Backwoods Banshee. #amwriting

I love fall. I can go from looking like a housewife on acid to acceptable professional with a sweater and a glob of hair gel. Yes, I always wear pants, because I am often the universe's favorite chew toy and the day I don't will be the day I spill coffee or something and have to stand up on camera.

The last of my flowers for the year. The yard's done well. Fall is my favorite time of year, but it comes with a bit of inherent sadness, a bit of fading. Still, life remains. Here are the last of this year's flowers and one lingering bee preparing for winter as the light dims toward midwinter.

Happy Monday! Three weeks until Rogue Community College releases so here's more character art by Jake Shandy. This is Hex, the school's star pupil and resident caster. Her spells manifest via mathematical formulae. She's very interested in researching how the Spirit Realm works.

Art of a Black woman in front of a chalkboard marked with arcane and mathematical symbols. The board hangs on a wall of glowing green bricks. She is dressed in layered skirts of black, white, and red and holds  a piece of chalk in her hand.

Just realized someone has added two of my books to MyCast. Fun little exercise to see how readers would cast the TV show or film. Add your own if you like. I'd love to see who readers picture in each role: www.mycast.io/stories/whit...

This guy has to die, but does the story work better if it's in chapter three or chapter ten? #adambinder#amwriting#backwoodsbanshee

The first step in being able to offer good feedback or critique of a book is understanding the difference between ā€œThis stylistic choice and/or narrative voice isnā€™t to my individual tasteā€ and ā€œthis is bad writing.ā€ Sometimes a book just isnā€™t written for you as the audience. šŸ¤·

Got up way too early for my flight but I am here!

Never been in a car with a custom LED roof before. Might have to try this in my writing room.
