I have these two soft t-shirts that say ‘author’ on them in little felt letters. I made them when I published Bleeding Through Kingdoms, because I was excited and I am a nerd. There actually was a good reason for it, but the being a nerd part is all you really need to know.

Anyway, today I wore one of those ‘author’ shirts underneath a sweater, and when I took the sweater off, one of the letters came loose. At first I thought, “Oh my God. I’ve opened my heart to the universe and the first thing it wants to do is inform me that I am not an author? That sucks. Ass. It sucks ass.”

Then, it was brought to my attention that it was the ‘u’ that was falling off, and that my shirt now says ‘a thor’. There was dead silence, a profound moment when the significance of the message swept over me. I’m not supposed to be an author because I’m a superhero? I freakin’ knew it!
