    A friend said something about The Witchwood Crown yesterday that led me to this thought. Description of my job: I try to write like a grown-up about things I fell in love with as a child.

    Hey, they flat loved it when Paul Pelosi got beaten unconscious by a crazy guy hunting for his wife. Why surprised? These people are less Christian than most atheists.

    Hey, TV show runners, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you're trying to end a long-form fantasy epic and realize you're a bit out of your depth, feel free to call someone who's done it a few times for advice. Just sayin'.

    I try that when people call me, but no one ever sees it except my family, and they know I'm not really dead.

    + Yes, sad things happen. But happy things happen too, just like real life. Again, I am grateful for all the support and kindness. #TheLastKingOfOstenArd #TheNavigatorsChildren: the final novel of the series.

    I'm thrilled new readers are learning about my books. But please don't throw around words like "plagiarized", especially about someone I like and respect as much as GRRM. He was writing excellent fiction before I was first published. We were digging in the same vein of story.

    When BLM attempt a violent overthrow of the US Congress and threaten to lynch the vice president while doing so, you let me know, you ridiculous idiot. You still haven't explained how the insurrectionists were all Antifa but are also wrongfully imprisoned.

    Our father, Joseph Evans, died last night. He had a good life -- ninety years and lots of love -- a very good life. And he was a very good man. Miss him already. The world is a different place now. But I don't think he ever quite got over losing our mom.

    They're crunchy, but you can spit the wings out. The bones actually digest pretty quickly, because they're made out of sugar.

    A quick note on all the kind comments on the release of #TheNavigatorsChildren. Thank you. Thank you all. I'm just trying to do my best with characters I care about, for readers I care about. I hope you all enjoy the ups & downs of this book. +

    I just saw that Max Von Sydow died. The headline called him "Game of Thrones actor". Good God. Is there nobody left on the internet older than 25? Sorry, just a brief spasm. I'm better now. Farewell, Max. You were one of the very best.
