I’ve been remiss in mentioning that I have a new release out. My story “Rules of Engagement” is part of Our Best War Stories: Prize-winning Poetry & Prose from the Col. Darron L. Wright Memorial Awards, Vol. 2.
My story placed second in the veterans’ division of the 2023 awards.
The book is available on Amazon. If you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can read for free.
My nephew, Ryan Bani Tahmaseb, has a new book out today:
Persian Mythology: Epic Stories of Gods, Heroes, and Monsters is a middle-grade nonfiction book all about Persian mythology. It also has some gorgeous illustrations. I can’t wait to see my copies—one for me, one for the Little Free Library—when they arrive today.
Ryan was also featured in Publishers Weekly: Four Questions for Ryan Bani Tahmaseb.
He also has a picture book that was published last year:
Rostam’s Picture-Day Pusteen is adorable (and the copy I added to the Little Free Library vanished within days, or possibly hours).
Congratulations to Ryan! We are all so proud of you!
Well, I’m pleased. After four years of publishing absolutely nothing, The Pansy Paradox had what I consider a very good release week.
I was lucky enough to garner a BookBub New Release for Less deal:
So, how did I celebrate? On Thursday, I had my annual exam and got the flu, COVID, and shingles shots. As one does. I did not time that well. I’m still a little achy, and I’m running a low-grade fever. I’ll keep this short and hopefully have more to say next week.
It’s release day for The Pansy Paradox!
You can buy the novel almost anywhere. You can read for free with a Kobo Plus subscription. Or request it from your local library (in eBook or print).
It’s also release day for The Capstone Conundrum, also known as that time when Henry almost met Pansy.
It’s free for my newsletter subscribers as well. But it’s also on sale everywhere, since I know a lot of people don’t want another newsletter in their lives.
If you’re on the fence about The Pansy Paradox, you can always download the extended preview.
If you decide to read, I so hope you enjoy Pansy, Henry, and their adventures.
