This week we examine Dead Voices by Katherine Arden as a mentor text. We also find out what happens in the cemetery when The Midnight Pets gather each night.

Dr. Kate Darling’s new book The New Breed: What Our History with Animals Reveals About Our Future with Robots is my latest Mentor Text read. I loved the book and it drastically challenged me to think about how I’m approaching AI. Some of the content confirmed my mental models for AI and others enabled new insights. I can’t wait to share this one with you so let’s get started.

Love chocolate? This post is all about my lessons learned from Hershey by Michael D’Antonio. I reflect on what I learned from the man who had dreams of a utopian town as well as how the author brought the tale to life. This is one of my Mentor Text series where I reflect on what I learned about writing and myself from the book. Enjoy!

I’ve got a busy Q4 2019! If you’re going to be where I’m going to be, let me know and maybe we can grab a coffee. Side note, I don’t drink coffee, so tea perhaps.
