And the answer is yes! Book 4 (focused on Laz) will be out in May (preorders next month if I can get the cover done!), and I'm hoping that book 5 (finishing up the Sam/Ulysses arc) will be out by the end of 2025. I've written several other books in the series about other characters, but I don't have an exact publication timeline. I'm hoping that altogether there will be nine books, and possibly one collecting short stuff (like "Dous") if I manage to write enough short stuff to make a book.(less)

Of course olives are green--actually, I think olives come in a lot of colors depending on ripeness and variety (and how much evil is in them, I assume; I don't really like olives). In English, "olive skin" is a way of describing people who have tan or brown skin with a sort of greenish undertone to it--that is, people who look like their ancestors lived in the Mediterranean, southern Europe, Northern Africa, and a few other regions.

Sam looks like that in part because, as you note, he's also Dionysus, who is Greek. He also looks like that because the Greeks thought of Dionysus as a god who had come to Greece from somewhere else, although archeological evidence suggests he's actually from Greece and had been there for a long time. Similarly, to the average Wisconsinite, Sam will look vaguely foreign, although his family has lived in Wisconsin for a long time.(less)

Decorative Gourd Season

It feels very aggressive and unkind to go around being October. I’m not ready for it. It’s time to reread that famous McSweeney’s article, It’s Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers.

It has been a really long, rough week around here. We had to say goodbye to our older dog yesterday. Although I don’t think anyone can own a dog that is approaching her fifteenth birthday and not feel the relentless m

I had this idea that Kingfisher only wrote horror novels, or fantasy with horror elements. But instead it was a romance with a few murders in it. The world building was great and the characters were delightful. My only sorrow is that Bishop Beartongu ...more

A tender slow-burn romance between two characters in their 40s/50s. They talk things through! They have well-negotiated kinky sex! There's magic! And there's a horse made of old sacks, and a kitten, and a small amount of political intrigue. What's no ...more

“Eli shook his head. "When we first met, I thought you two were respectable."

"Really?" Sam sounded excited.

Ulysses didn't look over at them, even though he must have been working by feel in the dim light. "I knew taking this job was a mistake," he grumbled. "People hear you're a professor, that's the first thing they assume.”
E.H. Lupton, Lazarus, Home from the War

“Laz nodded. "Whip a shitty and I'll show you the buyer's place."

Eli stared in mute incomprehension. After a moment, he cleared his throat. "I beg your pardon?"

"Make a U-turn." Laz tilted his head.

Eli finally put the car in gear. "What was that majestic piece of Midwestern vernacular? Whip a shitty?"

Laz rolled his eyes.”
E.H. Lupton, Lazarus, Home from the War

“I can either be your doctor or your boyfriend," Eli said. "And if I have to choose, I don't want to be your doctor.”
