Okay, but finding out that @stephengrahamjones.com has a sequel to The Only Good Indians coming out in October just entirely made my day.
Immediately signed up for the giveaway on Goodreads and I'm saving my pennies to pay for a copy! I must have it!

Why is Early Access so important? Next week, I will be talking about the successful launch of Fields of Mistria and how Early Access helped shape the game (plus, a review of the game itself)!

A bright light on earth joined the Big Band upstairs.
Dolly Parton has always been an ally to queer and Jewish people. She supported drag performers and early literacy. She funded books for so many children.
May her memory be for a blessing. Lay your rhinestones down and rest, Queen.

I've been dealing with some pretty bad head space and a flare up. My reading has been slower than I like.
But that's okay, because I'll be crawling out and into my role as Dollar Daddy this Friday.

Chuck Tingle teaches us that love is real, we are all buckaroos. He shows us that horror can have a heart and tongue-and-cheek humor.
His latest, Fabulous Bodies, shows that heart, even as the body horror and gore ramp up.

No blog post tonight. Instead, I am going to leave you wish some thoughts about fathers and father figures.
When Anthony Head, a fandom mourned the loss of the best television father we knew. Giles was hard when he needed to be, and you watch him grow into his role as father to this misfit kids.

My inspiration for Reed Faster has been a tremendous amount of one person infused with a dash of Eldritch Horror. That person is Anthony Stewart Head. In my intros, I always express that Reed Faster embodies the spirit of Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Nathan from Repo the Genetic Opera.

Cyberpunk has always been a favorite genre of mine. William Gibson and Neal Stephenson had lasting impacts on me, especially as I watch the world move closer to downloading directly into our brains. In Replaced, an AI learns more about being human than the one who created him.

Well, today is my birthday and I have been whisked off to a magical adventure. Next week, I will review the game Replaced. Imagine being an AI suddenly downloaded into a human brain. What could you learn about humanity? I look forward to exploring this Cyberpunk thriller with you!

When I first started this book, I had no idea how much it was going to hit home, especially with complicated feelings around fathers. There are TW, especially around child abuse and body horror.
Bonus points for the author coming from a Jewish family. (When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy).
