I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.

Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

#WritersCoffeeClub 17/3: Does alcohol intake influence your writing?
I hardly ever drink in the daytime*, and that’s when I write, so in that sense no.
But alcoholic beverages are consumed in the stories. For example, the College of the Dawnsingers is not a dry institution. In fact it has its own brewery, and why not? Brewing was historically often a female trade.
*And moderately in the evening, so hangovers are never a problem.

#WordWeavers 17/3: How organised are your characters?
Jerya was quite self-sufficient from an early age, and spent an early chunk of her adult life as a secretary, and Railu had the full eight year training of a Dawnsinger, which is highly structured. They’re both pretty organised
Some of the others, like Hedric, maybe not so much.

"Tell them they can be great some day, like us.

Tell them they belong among us, no matter how we treat them.

Tell them they must earn the respect which everyone else receives by default.

Tell them there is a standard for acceptance; that standard is simply perfection.
...

Then, they'll break themselves trying for something they can never achieve."

- The Fifth Season quote. NK Jemisin

Suspiciously sounds a lot like kyriarchy informed capitalism.
