Realized I never did an #introduction - I'm thomas. I'm a #Macro #SocialWorker working in #homeless #policy. In my free time, I do a lot of #walking, #reading #books, #movies, and #videogames .

I'm a big fan of #starwars, #scifi, #noir, #npr and the #nytimes, esp. #wordle and #spellingbee.

I live in #washingtondc with my #cat Ripley (pictured), my fav.

I'll reply to this with some favorites!

It's been a while since I posted about my novel, which is available on Amazon (and soon other places). If you like a strong female detective with plenty of mental problems, give it a try! Boosts are always appreciated.

A Memory of Murder

Some people envision the future. I envision the past.

After hearing about it for months I had to bite the bullet and preorder "The Gutenberg Parenthesis" by @jeffjarvis. Can't wait to get my hands on it. 📖 #books #reading

Zach Zimmerman's comedy always makes me laugh so I bought his new book today. Here's an Instagram reel with his appeal to purchase this week to better the odds of future books. If you're not familiar with him, listen to some of his past vids and see if you think his humor is your cup of tea.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrvzIs-tXnY/

Here's a recent interview with him, too. https://youtu.be/SvUOP8D3H7E

I was already planning to get his book but it will probably be a minute before I can sit down and enjoy it.

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror #books far & wide.

THE SALT GROWS HEAVY by @casskhaw is an elegant, fractured fairy-tale of Monsters & the monstrousness they encounter. Their world is populated w/ horrors, cruelty, & viciousness, but the dark, beautiful, bloody heart of this novella pulses w/ companionship, respect, & love.

Today is a Poison Ivy day...and not just any Poison Ivy day; today is Poison Ivy #12 day, which means this series, originally just a mini spun out of an 8 page short story, is now a year old. And thriving. Big things in this issue. All possible because of you. 💚 #WeAreTheGreen #comics #books

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror #books far & wide.

NARCISSUS is a unique spin on a classic myth with a special resonance in a world that seems to reward vapid, vacuous vanity. This compact and creepy nightmare will keep your gaze transfixed as the gory horrors mount and may even inspire a little self-reflection, after. (Shortwave Pub)

Today's indie author review: Casey Morales' I Hear You:

"What I loved about this book - besides the two great dogs and the two amazing humans - was what I learned about the things the deaf have to deal with... I highly recommend this book. Five stars."

NEWS

The kindle version of Emotional Ignorance is now available at the massively reduced price of £2.59

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emotional-Ignorance-Dean-Burnett-ebook/dp/B07Z5GW314/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1683026296&sr=1-3

That's an obscenely low price for so much brilliant brain info even if I do say so myself. Which I do.

Beatrix Potter is best remembered for her charming tales of Peter Rabbit, but did you know she also studied ?

Potter collected & examined beetles, butterflies, plants, bird eggs, shells, rocks, fossils & especially fungi. She conducted experiments & wrote a scientific paper with her own illustrations, presented at the Linnean Society of London. However, as a woman in the Victorian era, she couldn’t even attend the meeting. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/26/arts/design/beatrix-potter-peter-rabbit-science.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
