I wanted to like this book...

Soul-cleansing day: five miles under western red cedars and Douglas firs, a woodpecker, a hummingbird, a sushi burrito, and two Tolkien books waiting. Sometimes the prescription writes itself. #nature #amreading

Chapter Four of "Iron and Quicksilver" is up. Agnes and company ride north through the Wychwood by night, and the alchemist Follardie is helpful in the way that makes you nervous. #TheWychwood #ArthurianlFiction

Back from a week in Salt Lake City. Good to reconnect with friends, and with the desert. Grief as well -- lost friends, and dying wilderness. From the top of Eagle Ridge, you can see poisonous Utah Lake, and the new data center being built at the mountain's foot. #druidry 1/2

Reading Project Hail Mary. I have degrees in astronomy and linguistics, experience with government and military contracts, computer science experience... And the unforced errors are piling up on nearly every page. Venus's temperature. Elements in the sun. Hull physics. How the UN works. 1/2

What's left of Arthurian legend (or Narnia, or Oz, or Harry Potter) if you strip out the misogyny and anthropocentrism? I think something real. New post exploring why I keep returning to old worlds. #fantasy #Arthurian

The first three chapters of my cozy Arthurian mystery "The Changeling in the Tree" are free to read. A half-fey sleuth, a murdered tree, medieval Oxford. Come meet Agnes Hen. #fantasy #mystery

First chapter of my new cozy mystery, "The Changeling in the Tree", is now available for Patreon subscribers:

Find the truth. Resist anything that is not truth. Be willing to suffer courageously and compassionately until your enemy recognizes that truth. This is nonviolence, and it is now, and has always been, the most effective peacemaker.
