The latest piece of character art completed by @danyriverarts.bsky.social for The Crystal Island, which comes out on Friday! Isn’t this guy adorable!

A friend of mine is trying to get her first book published as an indie author. See link below. Miranda’s Garden www.kickstarter.com/projects/mir...

Leopold and Jarel, the M/M romantic couple from book two of the Talent Continuum: The Crystal Island, coming May 9, 2025! I’m so excited for this second book of the trilogy to release!

Look at this gorgeous cover! @danyriverarts.bsky.social has done it again. Book two The Talent Continuum will be out May 9 and I will be giving out ARCs soon!

So that happened.

I have added the availability to purchase signed copies of my book on my website therealphoenixrises.com . Book 2 of TheTalentContinuum, The Crystal Island, will be released May 9! Cover Reveal coming soon.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Someone please give me the best movies to watch and books to read to understand what New York City was like during the 80s and 90s. I’m talking both high and low society. Please reskeet. This is ✨important✨

Who are some of the writers that made you? Madeleine L’Engle Anne McCaffrey E.B. White Kenneth Grahame Stephen King Peter Straub JRR Tolkien Maya Angelou James Baldwin Maggie Stiefvater Suzanne Collins Cassandra Clare Amanda Gorman Tracy Deonn

Book 2 went off for final edits this morning! Planned release is mid May, 2025.

Had a blast at my first ever author event! Sold almost all the books!

I'm so excited to deliver my workshop, "Liberating the Weird", here!! If you want to write WEIRD FICTION that makes people say WAIT WHAT and OH NO (but also OH YES) but you're not sure how or what to do, this is absolutely the place for you. Come, join us... forever and ever and ever...

It’s a sale! a.co/d/74XgDDQ

Work partners. Emotional support going on here.

Disabled Marcus thinks life is challenging, but it’s about to take a jump beyond what he ever expected. He learns he can travel in his sleep to another world, and it’s a family trait. When he tries to return, he takes his best friend and the girl next door with him. a.co/d/73Zu0NX

Remember the phrase “the real McCoy?” It’s based on a real live person, a Black man whose invention revolutionized the train industry. Others tried to copy his invention, but they couldn’t hold up, so buyers wanted to ensure they were getting THE REAL MCCOY.

More Black History Month book recs:

Black History Month Book recs:

Just remember in Germany the Nazis were doing what was legally right. The people who hid Anne Frank in their attic were doing what was morally right.

Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Pride Month, Juneteenth, and pretty much any month or holiday not celebrating a white man will no longer be recognized or celebrated by the administration. Is this the United States anymore?

Sat down the other day to write a short tale about a person and their dog and end up with over 8,000 words and 18 pages. Anyone know of a place taking long literary fiction about loss?

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

I’m hoping my book will become more popular. Disability representation is hard to market, especially in the fantasy romance department. But we deserve to be the heroes of the stories and to have our romances too! Hopeful it will be discovered and the word will spread.

@barnesandnoble.com what is your stance on disabled representation for YA? Because this is what kids need to see, & not just the disabled kids

I guess I really am shouting into the void.

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.
