Foxes 🦊play big supporting roles in my WIP (now with my editor) "Don't Touch That Dial," which takes place in the same world as "Tune in Tomorrow" and "We Interrupt This Program" -- that is to say, a silly backstage look into what happens when fae start making TV shows and movies. Here's the snip:
What a rush to appear on a podcast panel for #BlastersAndBlades! We dove headfirst into the enchanting, chaotic, downright dangerous world of the fae -- no holds (iron) barred! Find out if you're Team Seelie or Unseelie! YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=964G... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2Bjv...

Then there's "The Big Potato/The Big Pig" which started out as a potato-shaped rock in Robertson, but in 2025 artist Samuel Hall painted it in honor of the anniversary of "Babe" which was, apparently, partially filmed in the area. What BIG stuff did I miss in Australia, folks? 🐷 🧵4/4
If not food, then often the BIG THINGS in Australia are animal related or ... um, rather sharp and murdery.... And if you go to the backside of the BIG MERINO you will discover two other big things there (sorry/not sorry I didn't take a pic) 🧵3/
Driving from Cairns (Australia) to Melbourne we discovered the country looooves BIG things. And sometimes has royalty visit them. Here are a few of the greatest BIG things we spotted on our drive, starting out (naturally, if you know me and "Tune in Tomorrow") with the BIG MANGO. 🥭🧵 1/ #BeTheMango
Driving south of Cairns (Australia) we passed by the AWESOME oddity known as the Ayr Nature Display. What a display: a mind-blowing collection of shells, butterflies, eggs, beetles, artfully arranged in half of a lovely retro house. And it's for sale! Save Ayr Nature Display (or at least visit)!
WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM WORLD TOUR! Well, rather US tour. Or some of the US. Anyway, here's where I will be appearing with my magical, MUSE-ical cozy mystery "We Interrupt This Program" starting in mid-July and...um, I maybe went a little overboard with the bookings. Should I make T-shirts? 👀 📚️ 🧳
Hanging out at the #IndianaComicCon this weekend? Don’t miss the @crowdedshelf.bsky.social table in the dealers room to check out my “funny as hell” fantasy novels, plus some about rock stars and scary fairies! But books are selling out fast, so run, don’t walk! (And say hi to Wayland for me!) 🎸🐻📺📚
Saw "Backrooms" 'cause surreal buildings ("bigger on the inside!") push my buttons. Now I'm hoping folks read "House of Leaves" by Mark W. Danielewski -- and if that's too difficult, Grady Hendryx' "Horrorstör" deserves a "related" mention. What other liminal horror books/movies do you recommend?📚🪑
Between sleeping and eating eucalyptus leaves, koalas don't have much time to read. But the Sydney Zoo's Yorkie promised to read my funny, magical cozy mystery village gone wrong new novel "We Interrupt This Program" in his free time. Be like Yorkie! Grab one right here! 🐨 📚️ ==> geni.us/weinterrupt
I mean this is the stuff of cozy mystery novels I think. Off to investigate
Is it just for white ladies who’ve died? Do they only accept clients who are white and deceased? Is it run by white ladies in red hats who serve as pallbearers?
Just passed a business in Sydney Australia called White Lady Funerals whose logo featured a (wait for it) white woman in a wide brimmed hat sniffing a flower and giving you a *look* and boy do I have questions
