My god, it’s been hanging over me so long I hardly know what to do now that Nobody But Us is with my editor. Thank you everyone for being patient while I focused on it, LIFE CAN BEGIN ANEW NOW.
I am on my way to Bangor for the launch of The End of the World As We Know It, the new stories from Stephen King’s The Stand anthology I’m part of (AHHHH), and I’ll start posting August rewards with a much lighter heart when I return. (6pm at Briar Patch Books!)
In the meantime, as a little thank you for being so patient and supportive, my very most wonderful patrons, I wanted to post a little extra for everyone—with Bastian’s permission.
I’ve been singing this song as a lullaby to them since they were born, and to this day they insist it’s their favorite song of all. Tiny Theater Kid is clearly a go.
All our love from Maine!
And if you haven’t already, join our Discord and hang out with the Cozy Cult (not an actual cult)!

Congratulations! There's nothing like that feeling. I just finished agent revisions on mine, whew...

How is there so much JOY in a single Patreon post?!?

OMG OMG OMG I'm so excited, I've been rereading the Magic Door excerpts you share here bc I'm so desperate for Valente stories I haven't already read five times over lol. I've been trying to get into so many other very highly recommended scifi/fantasy authors and hoping they'd sweep me away into gorgeous new worlds like your books (and Tolkien, and E. Nesbit, and C.S. Lewis, and Discworld), and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM has. :( idk but your writing just hits the spot for my particular brain. Can't wait!!
