It's sci-friday, show off your books! Transference is a dystopian vision of healthcare in a market economy. It will appeal to fans of Red Rising, Altered Carbon, and Bioshock. ✨Discovery Editor's Choice Shortlist ✨Indie Ink Finalist ✨SPSFC4 Quarter-Finalist www.goodreads.com/book/show/21....

Flow is proof that cozy fantasy can have real, meaningful stakes while saying important things beautifully. It was SO good.

The new Witcher is just a grim dark retelling of little mermaid and I'm here for it

Book two copy edits - completed! It's happening!! Transcendence will complete the primary duology that I had planned, and the ending still gives me chills on this re-read.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Let's see that sequel! I have three chapters left to line edit on Transcendence before it goes to proof read, and cover design is under way! I'm so excited to share it with the world, it gets really weird and I love it. (I'm also excited to read D. Andrews sequel)

Good morning lovely people. The prequel to Transference is currently completely FREE over on my Substack. I release new chapters each week. Once it's done, I'll take them down to edit and package the final thing, so check it out if you're interested! open.substack.com/pub/ipatters...

Nothing like having a near panic attack at 4am when you accidentally replace an entire chapter of your nearly completed novel with the letter "d" and Atticus won't let you revert it. Praise be to backups.

2025 demands a new emoji - nihilistic laughter. It's that feeling when you could break down crying at a situation, but instead you laugh in a way that should sign you up for therapy.

Doing my last line edits on Transcendence before it goes off for proof! I liked this quote this morning: "So I am like an artist trying to paint a picture I cannot see clearly with brushes and paints that I know are wrong. What I understand from this process is up to my interpretation."

Hey, here's my book! You can tell it's a book by the way it is. It's a couple months old now, and not currently on sale, but the sequel is coming out soon so that's pretty neat. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...
