Oh, hey! I forgot...my literary historic fiction #ebook Water Darling is #free on Amazon today. Go get it...read it...learn a little about our past...have a good cry... #booksky #booktube www.amazon.com/Water-Darlin...

So after about 32 years as a published writer, I was finally able to buy the original art for one of my book covers. This is the cover art by @donatoarts.bsky.social done in oil and oil mediums, for The Wizard Hunters.

Hungry ?

well, I just sold my last #drum set and the house feels...empty...and quiet for the first time in decades... ...it's hard watching them go... but, I think tonight's gonna be a date night.

buckle up folks...something awesome is coming... that's right! The Plagued States of America #zombie series is going to be an #Audiobook. #booksky #booktube In the meantime, get the first #ebook #free on Google Play: play.google.com/store/books/...

people be like: wait, you published *another* zombie book? I'm all: I know, right? I don't even like the genre. (everyone chuckles) in all seriousness, though, this one's the best. just skip ahead to it. #booksky #booktube play.google.com/store/books/...

if you could build a robotic clone that could look and act like a *real* human, why the f**k would you make it look like Joe Biden?!?!

today in Tulsa #history: 1921 ... whites invaded the black district of Greenwood and destroyed it, burning and looting everything on the false pretense that they were putting down a riot. I wrote about it in my #book. #booksky #booktube www.amazon.com/Water-Darlin...

Hang on...I thought #doge saved us like $300 bajillion...doesn't that mean we can leave the money going to Harvard and other universities AND give $3 bln to trade schools? Hmm? Any of u #Harvard grad journalists ever think of asking that? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

So this happened, Ryan Reynolds posted the cover to Uncanny X-Men #19, art by my brother, @davidmarquez.bsky.social, on his instagram account today for his FIFTY THREE MILLION FOLLOWERS. Yikes! That is COOL! Thanks, Ryan!

Concept cover of #book 7 of my Plagued States of America #zombie series. That means there are 6 books already waiting for you to read! Start with book 1 for #free: www.amazon.com/Plagued-Mida... #booktube #booksky

they ban it because...omg...there's a breastfeeding scene in it. wouldn't want to subject our high-school aged "children" (who are legally permitted to drive a car) to the actual functioning of nature, now...

Art of the Deal!!

your first meal after a fentanyl-assisted colonoscopy is probably one of the finest experiences in life. top 25 for sure.

Facts.

Wow... #pope 'Merica, the First.

About fucking time www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

#driving #hint #7: if you come to a red light, don't leave enough space between you and the car in front of you for someone in the lane next to you to be able to parallel park there!!! The car RIGHT BEHIND YOU probably has a turn signal on and is halfway into the turn lane but can't get past you!

My historic fiction #ebook about the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 is #free today over on Amazon (it's okay because they don't make any money)...you might like it, you might hate it, you might even read it. #booksky #booktube www.amazon.com/Water-Darlin...

sure...here's one...and it's even #free today and tomorrow. www.amazon.com/Water-Darlin...

poor little cindy-loo poo...lol

In Tulsa 1921, there was a riot. Police deputized "normal citizens" (aka kkk), swearing them in en masse and stating 'get a gun and get a n-word'. they had so many volunteers they ran out of badges. they are *not* agents. FOIA request ICE @usatoday.com. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

is true...thank you... #greyhound www.greyhound.com/warrantless-...

I’m at this pub and it’s wild up in here. This dude just got his junk pierced in front of everyone! In other news, I am terrible at darts.

I've been to Kangaroo Island! That dog was having the time of her life...gets a little cold in winter, a little windy on the coast, but very nice.

yeah, that'll happen from time to time...kind of like pleasant sunny days in new york...

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Our cover this week.

what the actual f**k is this thing??! I'm over fifty years old and I have never heard of one of these...and I used to watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom every week...why isn't this thing all over the interwebs??!?!! #pangolin #netflix #documentary www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GKX...

Please, please, please, please, please...do this more... Thank you, thank you, thank you. #chatgpt futurism.com/altman-pleas...

The @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social #comedy specials on youtube are spectacular! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYR2...

this looks awesome....and waaaaaay too stressful.

A really good #movie to watch on a Friday (other than Friday) is Roll Bounce. All the 1970s roller rink vibe you can handle and a pretty good story.

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

Hey #audio #book lovers, here's a sweet deal. My middle-grade scary ghost story Girlgoyle is a #free #ebook, so if you "purchase" it, you can get the audio edition for $7.50!!! Go check it out: www.amazon.com/Girlgoyle-Ho... #booksky #booktube

Here's my crazy idea for all you doomsayers: leave the US. Live happily ever after. Fixed.

wow...I played this game

file this under "f**k around find out"...my sympathy meter for red states has been pegged at zero for months, man...

Thanks for that utterly useless statement. I think we're past being nice about I told you so's...we're at the "f**k around and find out" stage, mate.

ho-lee-shirt-without-the-R this #xbox #game looks so amazing... THIS is what I've been waiting for. Please don't disappoint!!!

i just want to point out that IF we bring all these jobs back to America, and then *automate* them, we still won't have any jobs...

Alexander Ovechkin is the NHL’s all-time goal-scoring leader, beating Wayne Gretzky. This guy has scored more than 50 goals in a season 10 times...he might literally become the only player to ever reach 1,000 goals in his career...and he BROKE HIS LEG this season. See that gray hair? he's 40.

seriously...and what a singing voice, too
