FROM MARY CATELLI:  Writing And Reflection Volume 2: Essays on the writing process from world-building to words (Writing And Reflections.

#CommissionEarned

Reflections on the many and far-flung fields that writing can touch upon, from original inspiration to the final work.

Wizards. Metaphysics. Good, evil, virtues, and morality meters. Fairy tales in all their varied glory. Desert, forest, and other settings. Dragons and industry. Guilds of magic, quacks, and superstitions. Love and courtship. Portals. And more.

WE KNOW. THAT HAS BEEN OBVIOUS FOR A WHILE NOW:  I’m Ohio’s state auditor — Medicaid fraud is not just a Washington problem. Audits found payments to dead people, prison inmates and residents enrolled in multiple states.

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING MORE DISTURBING:  Hundreds flee as South Africa anti-migrant mobs go door-to-door. Hundreds of foreigners fearing for their lives have taken shelter in community halls along South Africa’s coast.

I’m all for countries defending their sovereignty but “mobs” and “South Africa” are a dangerous combination. To be fair, something for the left (and illegals in the US) to consider is that if they succeed in stopping the deportations and re-opening the borders, this is how it ends. Or worse.

FROM CEDAR SANDERSON:  Child of Crows: Wings of Broken Magic.

Some ghosts refuse to stay buried.

Fresh from the cursed hollows of Possum Creek, Special Agent Amaya Lombard is yanked back to the one place she swore she’d never return: Nesika House, the coastal coven that once cost her everything. When the high priestess who nearly destroyed her demands help recovering a stolen ritual chalice, Amaya has no choice but to walk through those familiar, poisonous wards — this time with a badge, a partner, and fourteen years of hard-won scars.

What she finds inside is far more dangerous than any illusion.
