This is the Roundhouse. It was built in 1969. I always thought it was kind of ugly, but it tried to be different and I can respect that. I used to visit various friends here, and I always wanted to jump off the balconies, so I finally wrote a fight scene set here in Old Time Religion.

The cats milled about the cafe, looking their best and placing their paws up against the window as people walked by, inviting them in for some cuteness and coffee.

A grey cat sat up high in a hammock, surveying her little kingdom.

"Not a single human yet," she grunted, "Purrhaps it's time to change locations."

The cats gathered in a circle, weaving a spell with practiced motions, shifting the shop closer to more cat-lovers.

"My most challenging customer? Three bears in a trench-coat."

The clerk paused, noting the completely sincere expression.

"Three... toy bears, in a trench-coat? Puppets?"

"No, three bear-bears."

"How'd they fit in a single trench-coat?"

"...Bearly."

After a pause, the clerk typed what they thought they heard, "And how did you handle the situation?"

"Went out a window and directly to a temp-agency. Please help me find a new job."

Nie sądziłem, że autorka dorówna samej sobie z pierwszej części, a jednak jej się udało. Gdy za parę dni będę sobie podsumowywał czytelniczy rok, to możliwe, że ta książka znajdzie się na pierwszym miejscu w rankingu fantastyki. Świetne urban fantasy, z "pieprzem" (czasem aż za dużym), genialnie zarysowanymi postaciami i klimatem małego, zielonego miasteczka, w którym aż buzuje magia. I nie o zakończenia tutaj chodzi, ale rozwój sytuacji i opisy.

The pond was our favorite concert spot.

"Who's playing tonight?" I asked, clutching my lunchbox packed with a fine picnic.

"Six Frogs featuring Sparrow," Robyn answered with barely a pause.

"A long anticipated collaboration," I quipped back, making sure to whisper as we neared.

The frogs sang, the sparrow harmonized. I shared my biscuits with Robyn; we listened to every song.

Then she fluttered back to her glen and I scurried home.

My publisher kind of went overboard on the award nominations.

Someone: Em, don't you publish yourself?

Me: Ssshhhhh.

12/5. What genre is your WIP?

I'm currently writing the first book in a very new vampire series (with a twist), set in modern times.

I'm aiming for a bit noir, so possibly 1930s or so, in the US.

I'd probably call it Urban Fantasy. Low on steam, high on adventure, probably slow burn romance subplot. I'm using the Romance series formula, by picking new MCs for every book and giving them a HEA.

The tea had spilled before it started steeping, the toast had jumped off my plate before I could add jam and the milk smelled rather off despite being brand new. At that point I began to feel my morning was being actively sabotaged rather than being a collection of clumsiness on my part.

I checked my luck reserves and found an IOU. I braced, hoping for some balance soon.

The morning after, I and many others awoke to wonderful tidings.

Born to Be Badger by Shelly Laurenston is out today, in case you're in a mood for totally bonkers urban fantasy/paranormal romance. My review: https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/11/born-to-be-badger-by-shelly-laurenston.html

The holidays are stressful. Treat yourself to a book with a happy ending. Sam and Ulysses meet in September, fight evil together all autumn, and face off against a god in late December, so this is the perfect time of year to read it. Plus, you'll be ready for the sequel in January.

N. K. Jemisin is one of the best authors writing in speculative fiction today. Her imagination and world building are off the charts.

For example, her “Great Cities” duology?

A MUST-READ!

The shop was sealed up tight, just like all the others.

I walked the empty streets, trying to find any sign of commerce, discounted or otherwise.

In an alley, a voice rasped, "Psst. Want a bargain?"

"Is that allowed?" I joked.

Wheels squeaked away hurriedly, the scent of meat-on-a-stick going with it.

My stomach rumbled, and I felt lucky to have leftovers back at the coven, where we'd undo the monkey-paw's 'No Crowded Shops' wish.

So here's a thing y'all...

I don't talk about this much because I suck at promoting myself, but for those of you who weren't aware, I published some books. Three of them are a fantasy trilogy still available via Carina Press, under the pen name of Angela Highland. The other two are books 1 and 2 of an urban fantasy series, self-published under my actual name, Angela Korra'ti.

And since I continue to be unemployed AF right now, if I could make anything at all off of sales to new readers, that'd sure be super helpful right now.

So this is a promo thread about my books.
