Does Threads of Wyrd have an order?

Start with either KRAKEN or LIKE SILK BREATHING. There are two reading orders, and they'll make you feel different things! I'm told some readers take great umbrage with LSB's prologue, but that's none of my business and I try to stay out of reader spaces anyway.

Do you ever answer anything seriously?

When it's serious! But I also thought Rumple/Mr Gold was the most iconic character on Once Upon A Time, so I bet that says something about me.

Do you know about Julian Barnes?

Totally. But I took "the only story" from a line in a Mary Oliver poem. The initially published trio's respective titles all come from her poetry. I may retitle these someday because the prequel books don't follow that convention, though I do like them as they are.

Does Lennie have DID?

See this post. A lot of authors write such cool things around/about/focused on DID! However, I'm not one of them.

Why don't you write out any Scottish accents in dialogue?

I love things written or performed in Scots, but that's never what people mean when they ask this. I have many reasons, one of them being that everybody has an accent. Another being that people are still ridiculed and judged for the way they speak in the Year of Our Lord 2026. It is that deep when, for example, folks are encouraged to lose their accents at auditions, or universities are closing whole courses of study, or Glaswegian students are leaving St Andrews. We don't read and write in a vacuum, my friends.

Are you a Scorpio sun?

I have Scorpio in Pluto in my first house, which might be why people ask this.

What do you do for fun?

Take long walks, pretend I can DJ (I'm not a professional), smell things (I've collected and studied perfumes since I was in my teens), pet my cat (she's my best friend, non-human edition), laugh with my spouse, and watch weird TV/films.

Pronouns?

Tell me yours! I'll answer to any.
