When is your next book coming out?
As of March 2025, my next book is being edited. The first draft is complete, and I’ll announce the release date as soon as I know it. You can follow my blog or my oft-neglected social media if you want to be among the first to know.
What is your next book about?
I’m switching it up. This one is neither a children’s book nor an adult nonfiction title. It’s a young adult fantasy novel, tentatively titled The Involuntary Mage.
When do you put up new blog posts?
Whenever I have something to say and some time to say it. Sometimes that’s twice in a week. Sometimes I don’t add anything for a year. The best way to keep up is to subscribe!
Do you accept guest posts?
Nope. I get an endless stream of people offering to write stuff for this website, and I don’t even look at them. This is my personal space here, and I write all of it. The same, by the way, goes for Tea With Gary.
I found this animal poop on my lawn. Can you identify it?
It’s a venomous Australian spitting wombat*. Run. RUN!
Seriously, though, it’s difficult to ID animal scat from a photograph, and that simple question may take a a lot of my time (and yours, too) to answer. If you know your local game warden, they can probably give you an off-the-cuff answer because they know the animals in your area.
* Regular wombats have cube-shaped droppings. Venomous Australian spitting wombats have dodecahedral droppings.
Are you looking for speaking engagements right now?
I’m not actively looking, but I generally end up with a handful of speaking gigs every year. I emcee events, moderate panels, do guest appearances on podcasts, talk about a variety of subjects from tea to animal poop to closed captioning, and do classroom visits. Feel free to contact me if you have an event I can help with.
