OMG I just got outta the shower (oh wow, good job E!) and suddenly am transformed. Because I figured out that I have, after many years of not paying much attention, re-reached BRAIDING length on my hair! This personal achievement must’ve unlocked like a year ago and I never tried it, ’cuz it’s fully braidable now. I was just doing a messy partial-ponytail-bun sorta thing, for the longest time, to keep it outta my face. OK that’s my big announcement

So grateful to @publisherswkly for the generous review of Lessons in Magic and Disaster!

“Anders... brings gentle humor and a clear-eyed sense of justice to this lovely standalone contemporary fantasy... With a lovably messy trans protagonist and a deep, tender-hearted exploration of grief, guilt, and the difficulty of asking for the things one wants, this is perfect for seasoned readers of queer feminist speculative fiction looking for a cozy escape that still challenges.”
