The most recently published book of 100-word stories was an angry response to a pay cut by a popular online publisher. I was trying to prove that their excuses were disingenuous and illogical. I left the platform before I could fully illustrate that I was correct, but I became enamored of the microfiction genre in the process. Humans, Being is getting great reviews, so I am happy I was able to turn the negative into a positive.

Aldheorte Forest in Osten Ard, if the Sithi would allow me to homestead nearby. I think they would.
I really did live in Elmore Leonard's Detroit of the late 70's/ early 80's. He got a lot of stuff correct and I knew the landmarks well.

My non-season-specific reading list includes Tad Williams' upcoming book (The Navigator's Children) in his Osten Ard series, anything N.K. Jemisin writes, ditto Tom Robbins, and my friend Cindy just recommended Min Jin Lee's Free Food for Millionaires.
