My brain sometimes when I think about THOSE scenes.

I often say that when you write a character well enough, you character will start to make their own decisions for you. So in a way, I DIDN'T do that terrible thing. They did!

[NealShusterman @NealShusterman]

But I've also cooked up a bunch of new characters I think you'll like in RISING THUNDER, the prequel to SCYTHE! Will they survive? Remains to be seen.

Do readers really do this??

The short story collection that tipped the snowball down the mountain, ending in the publication of MINDWORKS last year!

[NealShusterman @NealShusterman]

The book that started it all 38 years ago: THE SHADOW CLUB. It was a different industry back then. Getting published certainly still wasn't easy, but I do not envy the aspiring authors in the query trenches now. Don't give up! Don't get stuck! And keep writing your next story.

4 of the squares in this blanket are my books—can you guess which covers inspired them?

Carolyn tracked her reading by crocheting a granny square for each book she read. Each column is a month!
