✨SHOW ME: the art/book covers you’ve had commissioned✨ I want to see REAL art by human beings!! Remember to tell us who the artist is!! #booksky #artsky

#Influencers keep inventing new things ALL THE TIME.

Preorders are open for a grief anthology including a piece by me: amzn.eu/d/doJfBzj www.barnesandnoble.com/w/grief-like... #booksky

That’s my visits to the Paradise Garden in Germany. Lone week-long retreats with nothing to do but a lot of sleep, long walks, and some writing sometimes.

I’ve read Writing Advice suggesting that semicolons are evil; I did not follow it. (There are maybe 10 in total over my four books; nevertheless, semicolons exist for a reason.)

I’m not eating THAT. Especially as I’d have to be dead already and eat myself or my own coffin honey. Which would be a candidate for the #WhoNeedsContext series if I didn’t quote the context. Thanks @angryalgonquin.bsky.social – I’m going to avoid honey for a while now.

I have ‘neon’! #WIPSnips Bloodbath & Beyond, aka Why Odin Drinks II, has ALL the anachronisms. Okay, there are no smartphones yet. Check out @rgeirsson.bsky.social’s books for those. (Odin has a certain habit…) #Loki #WhyOdinDrinks II www.bjornlarssen.com/whyodindrinks

Nice piece in the Independent today about Vianne, Marseille, food, the Church, outsiders and why AI, if we're not careful, will eat us all... www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

A repost of my ko-fi #blog post is now on my actual website: www.bjornlarssen.com/2025/05/20/c...

“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!
