“You are as old as you feel!” – my hair is in its 30s, right knee about 70, lower back in its 80s, sense of humour – 13yo, waistline – censored, feet – 6yo or so (I thought only kids can get flat feet, welp, I got them two years ago), my beard still loses to 20yo hipsters’… Old. That’s how old.

Feed an author, leave a review! Please, I implore you, dear readers, leave reviews for the books you've read, esp. for those that don't already have 1k+ reviews on Amazon. Most authors will be forever grateful if you do, even if it's a not so great one (just don't tag them in that case, be nice).

It's me, interviewing about the wonderful Realm Raiders serial - if you haven't started reading it yet, do so now!

🧵 Almost all the authors I know have been struggling in the last months.

It’s been AGES since I’ve enjoyed any social media as much as I do Bluesky. It’s the only one I don’t have to force myself to be on. (I do miss Twitter circa 2018, though.)

@bjornlarssen.com's pick this week for #MusicMonday is Games by Chuckii Booker. queensbookasylum.com/2025/05/19/m...

I have randomly written about a painting I love more than any other work of art I have ever seen. ko-fi.com/post/Cathedr... #MondayBlogs @mondayblogs.bsky.social

The #WIPSnips word for May 19th is ‘groan’ and I thought I wouldn’t have anything… turns out I do. #WIP #WhyOdinDrinks II www.bjornlarssen.com/whyodindrinks

A rose is still a rose when seen from up close. #BloomScrolling #GardenUpdate

The mini short story collection A Roll of the Dice and the full-length SPFBO Finalist novel Hall of Bones are available as audiobooks across all major retailers. Listeners have loved the superb narration by @rjbayley.bsky.social, the perfect introduction to the world of The Brotherhood of the Eagle!

The #WIPSnips word for May 18 is "piece" Today’s is for fans of #Loki (and Freya, obviously). Brísingamen is about to happen…

Someone keeps trying to hack into my Spotify account. What’s the point? It’s a free account I’ve neglected for years (I switched to Apple Music because Spotify’s mobile app kept trying to kill me). Just start one. Or are my playlists so valuable?

Show us your writing process in a gif This works on two levels. One is when you let the GIF play. One is when you stop it and the cat just stares at the screen. I am both.

I don't need a cover artist right now, but I do want to know about some good cover artists. It may or may not be for a super secret Spotlight Indie project. Please post your recommendations (preferably with links) below 🎨⬇️ (I don't think it needs to be said, but obviously no AI, just actual people)
