I do believe a cover reveal, release date, and preorder are in…order…for LIMINAL MONSTER. (The “sequel” to A CUP OF TEA AT THE MOUTH OF HELL)

The Knicks beat the everloving fuck out of the Celtics tonight and advanced to the conference finals for the first time in 25 years. I finished writing a novella that took nearly two years of work. It’s been a good day

I always overestimate the length of whatever I’m writing. Thought this book would be 20k. It ended up being close to 13k. Anyway, that’s a wrap on the rough draft. The adjacent sequel to A CUP OF TEA AT THE MOUTH OF HELL. LIMINAL MONSTER is done.

Alpha draft of the WIP is so fucking close to being complete. Sent most of it off to my favorite reader for input. This book is weird and sad and I love it and I hope other people do too.

Are my favorite lunch again today: an entire bag of airhead sours. Help.

My book, The Thirteenth Hour, is only three ratings away from hitting the big 500 on Goodreads 👀 If you've read the book, I'd really appreciate it if you could give it a rating, whether you loved the book or not! www.goodreads.com/book/show/58...

For the evening crowd... The SHE DREAMS IN BLOOD Insanity Edition Kickstarter is live! We're already 300% funded and have hit the first two stretch goals. If you missed the KS for, BLACK STONE HEART, you can grab it as an add-on. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

The writing process in action.

Recommend a #selfpublished book! What's a recent favorite, or one that absolutely has to be read? ##selfpublishedbooks #indieauthors #books #booksky

Self-published Authors Appreciation Week is coming up! Come read more and see how you can be involved. Let's shine the spotlight on some awesome self-published books!! #SelfPublishedAuthorsAppreciationWeek #selfpublished #Booksky #Bookbloggers #selfpublishedauthors #indieauthors

NORYLSKA GROANS (which is freakin' free right now!!!!) is doing ok in the UK. Apparently those folks like nasty noir fantasy. Anyway. You can find the book on the Amazon flavour of your choice. www.amazon.com/dp/B08XY4DQNQ

WIP “Stay by my side.” An old card. I sift through memories of a life we couldn’t save. In the years that follow I am wiser; now, though, I am bitter, burdened, bursting at the seams. All of me is screaming and my pareidolia is personifying patterns on my wall.

Buy my books. Read my books. Leave reviews. Or not. While I would *love* for all of the above to happen, every day, for the rest of my life, reading is subjective and you can only do so much. To everyone who has, though, thank you!

Even in Arcadia has been an experience for my soul. There are so many lyrics I relate to. Fav. songs in order of impact: 1. Gethsemane 2. Infinite Baths 3. Dangerous 4. Look to Windward 5. Past Self 6. Even in Arcadia 7. Damocles 8. Emergence 9. Carmel 10. Provider

I am not okay. This album was fucking phenomenal, and that’s not even doing it justice.

🤔

I make no apologies for the goblin I will soon become.

🚨🚨COVER REVEAL🚨🚨 Yeah, that one that I mentioned yesterday that you needed to check out today. The one for @yuvalkordov.bsky.social's Sisters of Mercy. The one with art by Felix Ortiz and cover design by Victor Platon Jr. The one that comes out on May 20th. FEAST YOUR EYEBALLS

I ate a bag of airhead sours on my lunch break today. #helth

I am so close to becoming ungovernably insufferable.

I thought we'd said this enough, but apparently not given the state of our inbox of late: If you used generative AI in your final project, be that your campaign/cover/assets/etc, do not reach out to us for support or cross-promotion or even just feedback. We will not respond politely.

My hot take is that people don’t actually want different or challenging fantasy. They just want dragons of a different hue.

Think I’m getting close to the end of this book. 👀

If wine is Jesus’ blood, and bread is his body, then what the fuck is the mayonnaise?
