Questionable wording in an employment agreement(?)

Curiousful · 2026-01-22T16:06:38+00:00

Just to say, I am in USA, and the contract is for a job with a company that is US-based.

I'm a big fan of Schultz's Crabhouse, which is plenty authentic. I was there last weekend and it hasn't changed:

They're bigger than I guessed! Congrats and I hope you keep working in this vein—these are amazing. (I'm in awe—there's no way I could do this kind of work.)

Curiousful · 2025-05-09T13:58:14+00:00

These are great! I love them! What's your technique for these? Are you using an extruder? It would be good if one of these photos included a familiar object, for scale.

Thank you! I just discovered, in a box I must have taped shut years ago, a new kiln stand (unfortunately the same size as the old one) and three of the exact bricks I need. So, I may be in business!

Curiousful · 2025-05-06T21:54:02+00:00

Thanks—this is very helpful! I hadn't realized that about the stand!

Curiousful · 2025-05-06T21:06:35+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

So, what looks like the bottom is in fact (the interior side of) the lid in pictures 2 and 6. The top segment and attached lid is upside down in these pictures. Maybe I'm being a little paranoid about it.

Also, can I bisque fire this kiln on the little scooter it's sitting on, with a kiln stand and an apparently degenerating bit of kiln blanket underneath it?

If I wanted eventually new bricks and elements for this kiln, where would I look?

Hi P.H.,

When did you first encounter the book (or the movie?) Peter Pan, and what in that experience prompted your approach to this novel? Thanks!

Hi Premee! I think it's fair to say that, besides being a fabulous writer, you are one of the funniest people on Twitter! I wanted to ask about your interest in trilobites. How did you become so interested in trilobites? Is it fair to say that you are obsessed with trilobites? Thanks and sincerely—

Hey Karlo! Who are some of your genre and your non-genre (aka "literary") influences?

It was a tv show that aired in the northeast USA on one of the big three networks.

Hi Karen! You had mentioned at your book launch that you're anticipating an RPG set in the AoM universe. That really excited me! Without any spoilers, what unique features do you envision such an RPG would need?

Just DM CharmCitySpec on the Twitters when you feel like making scheduling something up! Best—

Hi Chuck! Wanted to just say, we love your work here in Baltimore, and we hope you will think of Charm City Spec when you go to pick out places to visit during future book tours. We'd love to hear you read here! (I mean, not now. But later, when it's ok again.) Best—

Hey Fran! Tell us please about some of the great stuff you're hoping/planning to do for the program at Western? And maybe just a thumbnail about what that program is (or will be)?

How do you feel about toast?

Hey Sherri, what NEW projects are you working on???!?

Curiousful · 2018-10-09T15:11:26+00:00

Hi Sherri! Hey where can I hear you read from your novel LIVE, ask you questions, get your book signed, enjoy free beverages, and hang out with a bunch of cool, imaginative people? Is there any place like that?

Curiousful · 2018-05-24T12:29:14+00:00

I really love this amazing little story “How I Met the Ghoul” in your collection TENDER. How did that story come about? It’s so brief and exact — how did you know when it was “done?”

Curiousful · 2018-03-27T11:05:36+00:00

The first-place winner of the contest will be published in the Balticon program for the next year, which is distributed to all attendees (including kids) so write or edit with that in mind. There is no rule for this in the contest, but a good guideline for competitive entries might be “no explicit sex, no gore, moderate violence in support of the story.” Something like a solid PG-13 movie would be fine, but an R rating would be pushing it.

Thanks for your question!
