Concerning #Blacklist with James Spader

Also: SPOLIER, If You Haven’t Seen a Preview for Tonight’s Episode

Me: Honey, tonight’s “The Blacklist.” Are you excited?

Ed: I’m scared.

Me: Of what?

Ed: That one guy is gonna get hurt really bad.

Me: Who? Red?

Ed: Yeah. He’s gonna get hurt really bad. I saw a preview.

Me: Hey! Thanks for the spoiler! (she said, as though she didn’t already know.) ; )

Ed: It was a preview.

Me: So?! That doesn’t mean I saw it!

Ed: I can’t help it, it was a preview!

Me: What, so previews are sacred now?

Ed: Yes.

Me: I don’t remember reading that in my catechism.

Front cover of a novel. Title and author's name in white font with serifs, all CAPS. Title: The Priestess Murders. Author: Courtney Cantrell. The image depicts a gnarled tree reaching from the bottom left corner up the left side and across the top half of the image. The tree is silhouetted against a star-spangled, dark blue night sky. In the background (lower third of image) are leafy, densely growing trees dimly lit by what might be moonlight (light source not shown). In the center of the image is a honeybee viewed from above. The bee glows a pale gold and is surrounded by a nimbus if pale gold light. The bee also exudes rays of pale gold light reaching up and down and left and right. A gash is torn in the bee's thorax, and red blood trickles from the wound. Novel published October 2025.
