October in California is unpredictable, but November is autumn. Last month, we swung between cooler days and heatwaves, so to come out this morning in a flannel shirt with a jacket on top feels good, feels right, feels correct. The neighbor across the street has a tree that’s turned bright orange and a few of the pumpkins I grew survived through Halloween, despite critters taking sneaky little bites out of them. All in all, I can’t complain.

Somethings for you to check out:

The Two is a Pattern audiobook is coming out NOVEMBER 12, which is in like, ten days. WILD. Also, Honey in the Marrow on audiobook is on sale through tomorrow, and both are narrated by Anastasia Watley, who really captures the characters so well, I can’t recommend her enough.

Two is a Pattern is available for pre-order through Barnes & Noble or Amazon, so grab it if you can or, of course, request that your library acquire it.

Thank you and good luck to you on the oncoming holiday gauntlet. May the odds be ever in your favor.
