Dear Mastodon:

Hey, did you know I write books? Fun fact: I do! And the latest one is out today in North America in print, ebook and audio formats (UK, you get it Thursday). It’s called Starter Villain, and it is about villainy, toxic masculinity and capitalism… but funny. Also, it has cats. I hope you will check it out and recommend it to your friends if you like it. Get at your favorite local or online bookseller!

Top Ten Reasons I Procrastinate:

There are lots of books about schools for magical kids: Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, Unseen University, Strange Academy, and on and on.

But what about a retirement home for magical grownups? Imagine reaching a ripe old age, children and grandchildren grown and gone, and one day you find a gold-embossed letter in your mailbox:

"Greetings!
You have been selected for residence at the Moonfrost Home for Exceptional Elders."

Somebody write a novel about a magical retirement home. I want to read it.

If the folks working on high-temperature superconductivity got together with the folks who worked on cold fusion we could have lukewarm superconfusion.
