Personal milestone - received a cold call instead of an email scam, from a "Gee Cullen" in California asking about my latest book.

During the call I got the name of the site and looked it up. Key result below:

Victoria Strauss from Writer Beware then quote skeeted on another network to agree that this is most likely a scam, and to speculate on how they get people.

Jules told Rachael to write a love letter to Eastern Ontario...and that's sort of what she did.

After Walter’s piece on Napanee Correspondent Brenda Hogg, Jules Octavian decided to see for himself what lies behind her early-2000’s big-box store privacy fence.

CAW Term of the Week - Infodumping

"Belladonna" by Cressida Blake Roe operates on two levels. On the surface, a time-traveling botanist finds a young protégé with unique abilities. Deeper, it's a story about grooming and psychological abuse of girls. Gritty horror. Strongly recommended.

More catching up on Codex 2024 reading, P.H. Lee's "The V*ampire" won't be for everyone but it has a lot to say about bullying and the harm as well as potential of online teen culture. Horror as allegory. Strongly recommended.

The latest from a press that has published a couple of my stories recently. This looks very good. I know a lot of people in the table of contents--you won't go wrong with this one if you enjoy speculative fiction.

2023 #ShortFiction catch-up: This is a #Horror story by @RachaelKJones set during a #SchoolShooting in which a teacher and her students fall into a Narnia-like portal #fantasy. Poignant; well worth reading.

As a heads up to my #readers, I'd highly recommend catching up on any of my first six #books that you might have missed by the end of this year. My 7th, while still a standalone, is very much tied to everything that's come before it and will likely hit a lot harder for you if you're at least somewhat familiar with one or more of my previous works. #readingcommunity

@dailyhaikuprompt @nlowell Thank you both for providing these daily haiku word prompts, which I greatly enjoy. Your prompts are helping me complete a micropoetry collection this month for NaPoWriMo, so I'm extra appreciative of your efforts.😀

I’m doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month as extra incentive to complete a micropoetry collection. My word count goal is rather modest this time as other writing priorities take precedence but that’s the great thing about Camp NaNo; you can tailor it to meet your writing goals.

I enjoy reading and writing absurdist poetry. (See https://write.bz/poetry for some examples.) If this is also your jam, please send me your poetry links. TY!

I'm celebrating World Read Aloud Day by donating 3 school visits to #middleschools in #Sweden, #Wisconsin and #Illinois! I'll be reading from my book Friend Me and my not-at-all-unsettling robotic cat, FRED, will tag along.

It's called 'being a writer' but lately it feels more like 'being a techie'. If you're hoping to publish in 2023, here's a link to my latest blog post summing up all the tech I've been learning to keep my author business in business.
