Look, if you don't have plans for Saturday, now ya do. Just sayin'!
Over at @barrelhouse.bsky.social I interviewed @kurtbaumeister.bsky.social about his <complimentary>truly bonkers</complimentary> book Twilight of the Gods, fucking around with norse mythology, and of course Patrick Swayze movies. www.barrelhousemag.com/blog/barrelh...
“Maybe I’m desperate for the ordered universe implied by these mythologies? Maybe I just love big, bad, shoot-em-up endings? Or, maybe they’re really just the same thing?”www.barrelhousemag.com
I had the pleasure of talking to Abhigna Mooraka for PEN’s newsletter. Read the full interview here: pen.org/conversation...

Thanks to @housleydave.bsky.social and @barrelhouse.bsky.social for this wonderful interview!
Thoughts on the idea of increasing the prizes for writing contests based on the number of submissions? Say there's a base first prize of $1000, then it goes up to $2500 once there are 350 entries? And $5000 at 550 entries, etc.? The scaling/tiers would be published at the start of contest.

A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles.
Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.
