Among the many reasons that I love reading Kurt Vonnegut is the fact that his books mostly consist of lots and lots of very short chapters. This makes them easy to read in bite-sized chunks of time, which is mostly what I've got on hand these days.
This was a fun conversation. Give it a listen if you have a minute:

That's got real "debut novelist thinks he's very clever" vibes, doesn't it?

Eleven years after its first release, my eldest finally has an audio edition. I'm listening to it now, and the narrators (John Pirhalla, Barrie Kreinik, Katharine Chin, and Daniel Henning) are absolutely killing it. Even if you've read the book, you really should give this a listen.

As long as you don't mind the beer coming back out of the holes in the body he's hijacked...
Several of my books include fully sentient AI characters. Several of them also include spacefaring aliens. I consider the evidence for both of these things at the current time to be roughly equivalent.

There's something uniquely cozy about being snugged up in front of a blazing fire with two hounds and a cat while the outside world is an absolute frozen hell.
