#PennedPossibilities 1145: Describe how your MC dresses.
Let’s talk about Elric for this one, instead. I have just the right passage for this. No explanation necessary because this covers the prompt perfectly.

#ScribesAndMakers 9/30: What was the last song you listened to?
The very last song I listened to Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day, a favorite band of mine. (PS, the music video is a masterpiece.)

#PennedPossibilities:
Is there a story behind your MC's name? Were they named after someone or something?No. Their names are their real names.
Using pseudonyms when writing about them here, in order to not give the game away, but the names in the book are the names they were given in real life.
Hope was named after her mother. Justice was mostly likely named after a bible character, but not sure we have info on that. -

#PennedPossibilities 1144: Is there a story behind your MC’s name? Were they named after someone or something?
Yeah, Nathan Cutter, his name’s derived from two sources, the cult film, Cutter’s Way, for some unknown reason the name resonated with me; and from the name of the actor Nathan Fillion.
In my ongoing series of urban fantasy novels, The Wheel of the Year sequence, it can be dangerous for you if other people know your true name.
So, by mixing up the names of the characters Fillion has played, the various given names and surnames, I can create new names for Nathan to use when he’s pretending to be someone other than himself.

Tom Clancy, American author died on this day in 2013. He was best known for his techno-thrillers featuring technical details in espionage and military science settings.
Clancy published his first novel, The Hunt for Red October, in 1984. Eighteen novels followed between 1986 and 2013.
His Ryanverse series features the character Jack Ryan, an analyst working for the Central Intelligence Agency and ranks among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, with more than 100 million copies in print.
In addition to the Ryanverse Clancy wrote a couple of other series of techno-thrillers one called Op-Centre and the other called NetForce.
Clancy was one of only three authors to sell two million copies on a first printing in the 1990s (the others were John Grisham and J. K. Rowling). Clancy's novel Clear and Present Danger (1989) sold 1,625,544 hardcover copies, making it the #1 bestselling novel of the 1980s.
Curiously, five years after his death, Clancy was still credited as executive producer on the TV series, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan.

Heard the word "IncomprehensiBollocks" on Mock The Week (think it was Hugh Dennis) recently and now I need to find ways to use it.

#PennedPossibilities 1144: Is there a story behind your MC’s name? Were they named after someone or something?
My MC has many names (shown below), but that's because of their social structure that allows such a peculiarity. Too much to go into, but everybody names themselves. One character has dozens—and has run away from many things, too.
Original name: Unknown to protect her family.
Lightning Bolt: Blackmailed by the mob, she made this one up on the spot because she's a fast flier and she figured they'd believe her. They did. She's now an air courier for the mob.
Good Eye: Her photographs that would appear on the front page of the world's biggest newspaper required photo attribution. Bolt took the suggestion to use in her alternate career as a photographer.
Tandem: She taught a boyfriend (SC, LI) to fly tandem (very hard), but she decided she liked the nickname so Blue uses it for her. Of course, embarrassingly, she keeps discovering people they mutually know (including the leader of the world) know her by that name, moreover, they understand what it means.

#WordWeavers 2026.09.30 — What stereotypes do your MCs deal with in their world?
Everybody sentient in the Reluctance Series, regardless of chromatype, is human. Oddly enough—considering that they are all human—like majority populations in our world, in their world there are power disparities based on appearance and ethnicities and, failing that, arbitrarily high bars to pass over. Bolt, my day angel woman MC, lives in Home City in a daemon majority region, having immigrated. She deals with degrees of segregation and discrimination; she's even told the dander from her feathers make people (i.e. non-angelic) sneeze. But, being human, she reflexively discriminates in kind (amusingly in the men she starts to find attractive). I do focus on gender issues, however.
The subtext of the Reluctance Series is all about stereotypes and prejudices we don't notice because of our culture, traditions, and gender roles. I do my best to make such things subliminal in favor of good stories.
