Hey all, two things. Just a reminder that the books are out! I went to see them myself in the stores and it's crazy. My book was next to one by Ursula Le Guin and it was a huge honor.

You can’t get me to admit I got teary-eyed. And I stand by that! I talk about dissociation sometimes, and I don’t mean that in the sense I think it’s used in other settings.
