Hello, peaches. It’s good to see you.
I’m writing today to remind the world of the existence of Dexter Palmer’s Mary Toft, or The Rabbit Queen. It’s a historical novel about a woman in 1726 who convinced the public, including many men of learning, that she had given birth to 17 rabbits. It’s also about why people – as in, all of us, choose to believe things that are not true.
A good story to read in this fraught season.
In Other News
- My story “Scrap Metal Family” is available to read at the excellent Kaleidotrope.
- As of this week, I have a new book going on submission. It’s an adventure story about a group of traveling players forced to save the realm, and also about the value of art in a broken world. It is hilarious and touching, and I hope someday it will warm your heart.
- My family and I went on a trip. Somebody took this picture.
Until next time, be well, friends, and mind your punctuation. Every comma deserves a proper home.
