Congratulations to @bsky.app, which just passed the six million users mark. That's roughly the size of the population of the great state of Maryland. Please have some cake (crab OR Smith Island, or both!) to celebrate!
Please take a moment to appreciate my Guest of Honor mention on the web site of InConJunction, the convention in Indianapolis where I will be all weekend, maybe come say hello or something

- Krissy, who indeed grilled up a big-ass center cut sirloin before firing up her riding lawn mower.
Today's assignment: make a picture of Krissy looking up at me today from the bottom of the stairwell look like a classic 40s glamor shot. Like a 40s glamor shot, this has been worked on; Krissy would be the first to tell you her forehead wrinkles are more prominent than they are here.

Nope, these were, since the book was a reboot of H. Beam Piper's Little Fuzzy. This particular artwork is done by the incomparable @michaelwhelan.bsky.social!
Today in Cool Stuff I Was Sent: Cans of "Typing Spy Cats" beer, inspired by my book Starter Villain, from the Fiction Beer Company of Denver, who also sent their cat beer glasses, a T-Shirt and other goodies. This whole "writing goofy fiction" thing is really working out!
