#ScribesAndMakers 2026.09.21 — ~What character from one of your own books [and] someone else's would you want to spend a day with? What would you do?
[For the better part of a day, I misread this prompt, only realizing it when I sat down to write out my answer. I modified it to what I thought I'd read because… not enough spoons to do it as written! —RS]
I'd match-up my devil-girl from the Reluctance Series with Honor Harrington from Dave Weber's Honorverse. These two determined persistent women think both tactically and strategically, and both weld power and empower people in complementary ways. I think the devil-girl, who doesn't particularly like interacting with people despite being so good at it—she would prefer to study a thaumaturgy—would strike up an interesting conversation once she realizes Honor can help her think through some of the military issues she's working through (well, will, in a sequel).
As an introvert, I've always been a keen observer, My Dinner with Andre-style. I'd take them out to a fine seafood restaurant (the devil-girl is a pescatarian daemon and doesn't eat meat) and do my best fly on the wall imitation.

If you've been thinking about what to do for dinner on Saturday 10 October, and that maybe you just don't want to worry about cooking or having to source sustenance somehow, a quick PSA: Ticket sales for the Fantasycon banquet must end TODAY so the hotel can make sure they have enough tofu/chicken/dragon* for everyone.

New post: "From Jiminy Cricket to Existential Horror."
Mike started as a joke: Jiminy Cricket for a zombie. Then the premise grew teeth. The short outgrew the collection, the collection became a novel, and the comedy became existential horror — a story about a ghost learning to fight for control of his (after)life, in a war between angels and demons.
