So honored to have been interviewed by Canvas Rebel. I discuss my upcoming projects (including THE BLACKSMITH'S BOY, my debut NA fantasy novel coming Aug. 12!) as well as my writing journey. Check it out! canvasrebel.com/meet-bruce/

For his senior project, my son has organized (and will be performing at) a concert/talent show to benefit a food bank. In addition to being his roadie, I’m also manning the concession stand tonight! 🥤🍿

Book review time! Remember as kid flopping down on your bed to get completely lost in a book? FIONA AND THE FORGOTTEN PIANO by @k8demaiowrites.bsky.social is this type of book. This captivating MG tale packs a ton of imagination for readers of all ages.

Look what the post office left on my doorstep! Proud to have a werewolf short story, “His Grandmother’s Eyes” in this one. (And @demimschwartz.bsky.social has a story, too!) My 7th published anthology tale & more coming.

Well, I put in a request with a great local bookstore to host my launch event for THE BLACKSMITH'S BOY! Fingers crossed - hope they say yes!

This Saturday, April 12, 11-4 pm ET I'm participating in the Skippack Book Fest! 50+ authors in all genres will be in attendance and it's happening at the Victorian Carriage Shops. It's free to attend. The rain date is Sunday, April 13. If you live in the area stop by and say hi!

Back to positivity w/ my next post. But JKR is the greatest fantasy author every, IMO. I wish I had a fraction of her talent & success. But for the life of me, I can't fathom why she uses that platform to punch down on people who just want to live their lives. It's sad. 😢

🔥COVER REVEAL🔥 Enter the world of Nemè, where gods are missing in action, religious zealots wage war, and a courtesan spy is dealing in sex and secrets. What could possibly go wrong? The Courtesan’s Eye releases July 2025... Get your ARC copies NOW! @hyerssmith.com #highfantasy #fantasyreads

Not a dream! Not a hoax! Not an imaginary tale! (Channeling my inner Stan Lee. IYKYK). My author website launches this week! Watch this space for more info.

Hi, I’m B, I write queer YA and fun MG, short stories and the occasional poem. I’m MagicalHippo at the bad place but I’m thinking about moving here instead. Please say hi! 👋👇

Book review time! QUEEN'S CATACOMBS. Jordan H. Bartlett suffers no sophomore slump. This #YAfantasy novel is a worthy sequel to 2022's outstanding CONTEST OF QUEENS. Full review in comments!

Creating an author website is serious business! And me with no tech skills…🙁 Thankfully, my wife is guiding me. We should have something to share in the next few days!

It's not Christmas, but it almost feels like it! Tomorrow I'll be joining @andiesmithbooks.bsky.social in Tallahassee as we both accept Florida State Book Awards! Friend, can't wait to hug you! #WritingCommunity

IKYMI - check out my short story “Under the Bright Lights” in the new issue of The Bloomin’ Onion! (And it’s free!)

Getting burnt out from in person author events was not on my agenda when I got published, but after doing 11 events in 5 months it was bound to happen. I've had to shift priorities and only commit to events that work for me, which I talk about in my newest blog post below.

No joke! I just found out “Kind Heart” won the Best Singer-Songwriter Song award at the Rampage Music Awards. This means the world to me. 🤩🦋

Not an April Fool's joke! My short story "Under the Bright Lights" is in the 1st issue of The Bloomin' Onion lit mag! It's a gritty tale of two men in the world of small-time pro wrestling. Definitely a departure from my usual style. But I hope you like it. www.thebloominonion.com/under-the-br...

Tomorrow, I will be sharing pies for my genre and age category breakdowns in my submissions, but for now, want to watch me make a literal pie? I made one inspired by one of my stories. Enjoy! youtu.be/zc5Czfblzm4?... 🤍 #RevPit

Okay, now I am officially crying. 10,000 lifetime book sales. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much. Author dream come true. 😭❤️

Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore got a review from Kirkus! Freakin’ Kirkus! That is my name and favorite story mentioned in a Kirkus review!!! 😭😭😭

With a huge assist from my wife, we spent hours this morning working on my author website. It’s getting close! Can’t wait to launch this baby.

The deadline is April 1st, submit your work ASAP! #WritingCommunity #AuthorSky #authorcommunity #BookSky #anthology #charity #shortstories #poetry #flashfiction #microfiction

Note to self: I've been stalked by assassins, attacked by evil sorcerers & am about to face the deadliest wizard alive. Did I mention I'm a country healer, not a warrior? Maybe put Princess Isabella on IGNORE? If I live long enough... - Bok #UnhingedPit #spec #NA #F #P
