I really liked a lot of the people I’d met in Garreth’s pack, and it was easier not to see them after I’d betrayed them. Fortunately, there wasn’t an audience like there was at human trials. Still, I wouldn’t want to run into any of them on the full moon. ![]() I recognized several of them from the Winter Gathering that I’d attended with Garreth.Įveryone at the table radiated power, but he was the most intense of them all. ![]() If I’d had to guess, I’d have said the table was occupied by the alphas of other packs.

This is to say that in many respects Milk Blood Heat is difficult to imagine as a debut, given that the stories read with the ease of an author well into an established career. With these stories, Moniz has built eleven perfect cooking fires. There are no shortcuts, no quick and fast fixes, it is all the result of time and hard work. Anyone who has spent a cold and dreary night camping knows a successful cooking fire is not a matter of crackling sticks and bursting flames, but of meticulously layered coals, fuel accumulated over hours of attentive labor. In this case, the heat is also elemental to the aesthetic and narrative architecture. There is the Florida heat, certainly, as most of the stories are set in Jacksonville and the surrounding area, but there is more to it than mere setting. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moniz’s debut collection, Milk Blood Heat, because these stories are fire.

The federal recusal statute requires disqualification whenever a justice’s “impartiality might reasonably be questioned,” which was surely applicable to a justice who anticipated substantial future income from a party to a case. ![]() Although Sotomayor had no direct financial interest in the outcome of the cases, it should have been obvious that her continuing receipt of royalties from one party could create an appearance of favoritism.

Justice Clarence Thomas’s financial entanglements with billionaire Harlan Crow have also been widely reported, including his decades-long nondisclosure of extravagant gifts and other transactions. ![]() |
