Did you know Eden Robinson has an epic fantasy novel coming out later this month? THE SORCERESS OF SKY SERPENTS hits shelves September 29th and feels like an Indigenous Game of Thrones.

Grateful to have read it early for a blurb! Preorder it today and tell your local library to order copies too.

We Natives know all too well about broken promises, how signed treaties are a “treat” only for the colonizers. They were presented as mutually beneficial for the nascent fed government and Native Nations but were constantly disregarded or favored the Others.

Any Treehouse of Horror fans? Got 2 of the 6 glow-in-the-dark cups from Jack in the Box tonight.

(Jack in the Box started in San Diego, but I don’t honestly know how far spread across the country they are)

Feel good moment of the day:
Newspaper photog came over to the house for some shots he forgot to take.

Me: “Hey, did I ever show you the shot that got me interviewed by The Weather Channel?”

Him: “Nope.”

Me: “Here it is. Never edited. Shot on a Canon 7D at Salton Sea.”

His jaw dropped.

You all really showed up for this one 🖤 BACK FOR BLOOD is a USA Today Bestseller in its debut week! It took the first Never Whistle at Night anthology six weeks to hit the list, but thanks to you, PART II charted right out of the gate. We couldn’t be more grateful.

What’s your current fav story?🩸
August 26, 2026 at 2:16 PM
NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT, PART II: BACK FOR BLOOD debuts at #23 on the national Indie Bestsellers List. Hohóú to everyone who has helped make this happen by purchasing your copies through an independent bookstore. 🙏
