A great #horror reading for the night: #Tender, Beth Hetland's debut #GraphicNovel. A #story that's soft, warm, humid— like blood. And its episodes around physical pain... Oh my.

Recommended Reading List: February 2025

I mentioned in January’s list that I had fewer books to recommend in February and March. I read a lot but didn’t finish some of the books, and the ones I did finish, I didn’t really like well enough to recommend. As I tell my writing students, you…

Recommended Reading List: January 2025

I read a lot in January and liked a lot of it as well. Some truly marvelous books (which is not what I could say for February & March. More on that in those lists). I also finished my reading for the in-person space opera workshop I was conducting in the middle of the month. […]…
