About

This is an “author’s miscellany” because many posts will be related to books and writing, but yes, there will be totally random stuff here. Here I write fast, short, and informally, and in all likelihood…trivially. Because this isn’t my “real blog”. I blog on my official Ainy Rainwater author website: A Truant Disposition. (Pssst…you can also add my author blog to the WordPress.com Reader on your dashboard!) My newest book, If Wishes Were Spaceships, a fast fun science fiction novel, was released March 2016. The sequel to it, as well as short fiction and other writing projects, are regularly posted to subscribers of my Patreon; it’s a great way to read what I’m writing prior to publication and support me as I write. I’m always writing, but the time between publications is often long: Patreon means that neither you nor I have to wait!
