A teensy excerpt…“Run, Georgie, you sumbitch! Run before I give you a new hole to drain out all a your bullshit!” The laughing man stopped laughing. “Run my ass, Johnny O’Leary, I’ll die before I run!” Launching from the Poisoned Pen Bookstore on February 28, 2026. 
I’ve written over 1100 reviews for Book Review Monday on my blog by now so I thought, why not collect them in an e-book? No Stars is the result. We thought you might enjoy helping the process along by voting for your favorite cover art. Click below to cast yours! Deadline to vote is Monday, September 29th, at midnight Alaska time and the results will be up on stabenow.com Tuesday morning. 
The new Storyknife Merch Store has taken the angst out of my Christmas shopping this year. All cool stuff and part of the purchase price goes as a donation to Storyknife. FYI, I can personally report that the zip front hoodie (above left) is light in weight and very comfortable in texture–the perfect topper for a t-shirt and the perfect liner for a winter jacket. 
Yeah. In spite of the moose (who don’t even like lilies, as you can tell by the way they spit them out after they take a bite), the Sunny After Eight lilies have continued to be, well, sunny after eight. The fall storms are starting to line up in the Gulf of Alaska, though, so I spent this week getting everything good and mulched.

Just an observation about the cover pics for “No Stars”. A pile of books with the authors and titles visible does sort of imply those books got no star reviews. I picked Cover 2 because it does suggest the reviewing process with a book in progress 🙂
It’s my reading chair. It’d look more natural if the footrest was up. 😄
Just the books, ma’am! It’s all about the books.
