A pack horse librarian delivering books in rural Kentucky in 1938. During the Great Depression, the Pack Horse Library Project was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program in which the librarians, who were often called "book women" or "book ladies," delivered books to remote parts of Appalachia.

AI-generated books on Amazon now have the potential to kill people, as they've moved into the realm of mushroom foraging. Guides have popped up like, well, mushrooms, packed with information that makes no sense and could easily be dangerous, illustrated with structures that are "the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blond with six fingers and too many teeth," writes Vox's Constance Grady. Here's more.

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.
Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?
Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.

Y'ALL.
FINALLY.
MY NEWEST BOOK IS OUT. 😃🥳🎶💃😁
THE ACCURSED is my first ever solidly YA fantasy novel & I am SO excited to share this adventure with you!
Teen heroine Elfled is the only "unBlessed" member of her family--never a problem until they flee political persecution. Without magical skills to see her through, Elfled has only wits & hopes in her fight to resist the forces driving her squarely into Evil's lair.

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

If y'all have space for some non-political reading, give my just-published #editing blog a gander. It features one of my favorite peers, Deb Eckerling.

Some new translations of my books are now out and available! Taiwanese translation of all the Little Shop of Nightmares-books and the Grumblebelly Cat are out, as well as the Norwegian Horned God, Hornguden.
Hornguden is translated by Morten Abildsnes, but I'm afraid I'm unable to tell you who translated the Taiwanese books since I can't read the characters. 😔
All six volumes (three volumes of the annotated edition + three volumes of the unannotated edition) locked and loaded in Amazon. Assuming I can appease the content moderators, they will be ready to purchase Sunday 1. September. As soon as I get approval, I will do my best to link to the edition pages.
(I would have liked a lower price, but Amazon demands more money than everyone in the world.)

20 books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers.
Day 1
I wish old books were properly digitised and available as ePubs.
My brain suddenly had a hankering to read "The Intergalactic Omniglot".
It seems there's only a 2nd hand paper-version for sale 😢
Also - isn't it cool how the kid on the cover has a foldable device? Pretty cool for 1988.
Which edition will you buy, come 1st September?
The Annotated Edition is the most comprehensive edition of Asbjørnsen & Moe that has ever been published in any language. You get all 150 folk narratives (122 folktales, 28 hulder tales and folk legends), original prefaces from eight editions, Jørgen Moe’s substantial scholarly introduction to the Norwegian folktales, more than 350 illustrations by Theodor Kittelsen, Erik Werenskiold, Otto Sinding, Hans Gude, Adolph Tidemand, August Schneider, Johan Eckersberg, etc. Asbjørnsen’s and Moe’s original notes on the majority of the folktales, newly-researched editor’s notes on every folktale and hulder tale and folk legend, a comprehensive bibliography in each volume.
If you choose the Just the Stories edition, you get all 150 folk narratives published by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (1812-1885) and Jørgen Moe (1813-1882), arranged according to the order of Samlede eventyr (3 vols. Oslo: Gyldendal. 1936), which has become the standard Norwegian edition. Three folktales have been added to the collection for the first time. This edition is fully illustrated with artwork by Theodor Kittelsen, Erik Werenskiold, Otto Sinding, Hans Gude, Adolph Tidemand, August Schneider, Johan Eckersberg, etc. Here, however, there are no introductions and no appendices of notes, following Asbjørnsen’s revelation that to many readers, “the scholarly appendices are an insignificant, unimportant, or incomprehensible ballast, which also makes such a book disproportionately more expensive.”

Hallo alle!
Ich bin nicht #neuhier aber möchte ein bisschen meine Bubble auffrischen.
Gerade bin ich eher leise, meistens gibt's von mir Geschichten aus dem Alltag oder Gedanken zum aktuellen Zeitgeschehen und zur Gesellschaft. Mein Problem ist, ich will alles wissen. 😂
Sagt gerne hallo. Ich bin auch interessiert an Lebensrealitäten, die anders sind als meine.

Release day.
The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe is finally available in English.
Amazon is increasingly flaky, so I won't be able to see the books before they arrive from America in three weeks or so, but I hope they are as nice to look at and handle as they are entertaining and informative.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has encouraged my work and/ or contributed monetarily towards the editing.
If you have any editing needs, I warmly recommend the services of @wolfofthewisp, who brings flexibility, good arguments, and sound judgement to editorial discussions.
I have put links to the individual volumes of the two editions of Asbjørnsen & Moe here:

Here's what you can expect from me, now that I have finally published Asbjørnsen & Moe.
