A new episode of Steam-Powered Movies dropped today! Mike and I discuss The Rocketeer. Check it out wherever you get podcasts.

Ready to put some hours in as the world’s goodest writer! So I can get gooderer, and make progress on this booooooook!!! Happy Friday, friends!

I had the great pleasure of interviewing with Bold Journey Magazine. In which, I discuss resilience, creativity, and challenges facing creators in today's world. You can check it out here - boldjourney.com/meet-dana-frae… . And a huge thank you to Dana Lockhart for nominating me!

Author friends, has anyone heard from at @FindawayVoices lately? I have 3 open tickets with them, but haven't heard anything back on 2 (both close to a week old now) of them at all (not even to verify that they've been received), and the 3rd has been in progress for months.

Death Cults and Taxes has finally entered the world in audiobook format! It's narrated by yours truly and available for purchase directly from me here - books.bookfunnel.com/WordsByDanaBoo… - or from other retailers here - books2read.com/u/3Je86v .

If you’re in the Columbus, OH area this weekend, come on out to the Columbus Book Festival. There’s gonna be panels and vendors, and lots of books! It’s free and open to the public.

*clears throat*

I don’t often cast book characters, but I am convinced Julian Clary would make a killer Lord Akeldama from Gail Carriger ‘s Parasolverse books.

It’s late & I’m not tired because I got trapped in a really great cuddle-nap today, so imma post about this really great book I recently read! I love all the books in this series, but this one featured Ada Lovelace and Mary Shelley, both of whom are literary heroes of mine.

I've driven over 2k miles this month, another deadline met, stupid kitchen gadgets abound, VIP goodies changes incoming, and editing is... patreon.com/posts/septembe…

I was stuck in #Asheville since Friday, but I got out using I-26 South. This route is clear and safe. Went down to Spartanburg, then over to Greenville, where I was able to get gas at QT on E Butler Rd, Greenville. There was a Sphinx across the way people were getting gas at too.

A resource for finding gas if you’re affected by the #ashevilleflood . I mentioned the QT location I got gas at on E Butler in my previous post. I-26S is open and clear. I know Greenville is further than most can go, but this is the information I have. facebook.com/share/p/zpWEdm…

If you need a happy escape, this book is your ticket. In Cursed Under London, Gabby Hutchinson Crouch has crafted a tale full of magic, sweetness, humor, and delightful queerness. My bestie sort of flung this book at me after finishing it herself. One of best bibliosaults I’ve ever endured. 😁

I've got a new short story in An Assembly of Monsters. This spooky anthology inspired by the works of Mary Shelley & Bram Stoker is fully funded & HAPPENING! There are a ton of other goodies on offer as well, so go check out all the rewards available at kickstarter.com/projects/e-spe… .
