It’s 5pm. Quitting time. Noah shuts down his workstation, gathers his things, picks up Oscar and places him on the shelf. He walks by Linus’ desk and they walk to the elevator together.
Linus asks, “You going to see your girl tonight?”
“Yup.”
“What’s her name?”
“Anna.” -

https://ncg.org/news/climate-migration-californias-next-systems-challenge-what-philanthropy-can-do
No idea if #private #philanthropy is the right audience - but #government most certainly is.
"A New Faith" - esp. Part 2 - is the fictional story of #climate #migration and the rest of the novel imagines the life of #migrants in a classic #whodunnit genre.

#DailyDigest for 2025-04-28
It's been a productive day!
- Made progress on the #writing front. I've mapped out several upcoming scenes for my novel that still sits somewhere between #scifi and #speculativeFiction. Still on track to finish by the end of next month. (+1437 words)
- Brainstormed some interesting #storytelling and #interactiveFiction ideas with my business partner.
- Still can't shake the uncertainty about how my project and/or client landscape will look this year. The not-knowing part is definitely outside my comfort zone.
EDIT:
-
We had a blast last night at the Earth Day Eve launch of Through the Portal and The Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens. Lynn Hutchinson Lee even brought spring peepers with her to set the swampy vibe.
Orchid is now available everywhere books are sold! Congrats Lynn!

While many time travel stories follow similar patterns, in my exclusive interview with author Philip Fracassi about his time travel science fiction thriller "The Third Rule Of Time Travel," he explains why his changes the rules.

My season approaches and my power grows 👻 I'll be digging into my Halloween reading list starting this weekend and very excited for it.
As always, book suggestions are welcome!

@Knightky and I listen to audiobooks on long road trips. This time, we listened to Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. What at first seems like a basic Middle Ages historical book turns into some seriously wild dark fantasy. I imagined a wackadoo anime for certain scenes. It features a disgraced knight, a naive orphan, and a gay priest on a mysterious quest. Set in France during the time of the Black Plague and the crusades, it portrays religious beliefs and superstitions of the time as literal phenomena. I think Buehlman is my new favourite author. Not sure how I hadn't encountered his books before this year. #bookstodon #fantasy #MedievalFantasy #BlackPlague #crusades #SpeculativeFiction #Normandy #ChristopherBuehlman

Continuing on the theme of other worlds, I highly recommend Franz Schubert's Erlkönig, which draws on a poem of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
This version includes an English translation and an animation of the action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS91p-vmSf0
[CW: the song references a child's death]
