Hey #booksky folks, here's another #bookreview for Anti-Hero Blues! It's humbling to be mentioned in the same sentence as a book by George R.R. Martin.

I'm currently working on another series, but the Anti-Hero Blues universe and its characters are close to my heart.

Expect more on the horizon!

Aww, thank you! That's really lovely to hear! I've pivoted to another series, but there's absolutely more in store for the Anti-Hero Blues universe!

Dude, that's awesome! I'll give a look!

Hey #TTRPG folks!

I wasn't able to make it to Gen Con this year. Have any of you seen or heard anything that you're excited about?

Playing anything fun?

At this point, I do not know how anyone denies what is happening in Gaza unless they have no sense of morals. People are starving to death. They are being shot at when they come to get food. What else can you possibly call this but genocide?

Don't like trans people? Just ignore them like you do pedophilia and school shootings.

Hah!

Hey fellow #writer folks,

Last night, I had an absolutely wild dream that I may adapt into a piece of fiction. The short story I just finished was also drawn from a dream.

Has anyone else had dreams they've turned into stories, screenplays, or books?

Relevant to my work in progress. #Writing

Ice secretly deported Pennsylvania grandfather, 82, after he lost green card Family of Luis Leon say they were initially told by someone he had died, but they found him alive in Guatemala hospital

I can't help but think about my clients, friends and neighbors when I see headlines like this.

Another example of what 'great' looks like under Maga America.

I just put the finishing touches on my first #ttrpg project after taking a break to work on a couple of novels.

@enpublishingrpg.bsky.social, @mikemyler.bsky.social and I have something delicious in store.

Looking forward to sharing.

Hey #horror and #fantasy #writer folks,
I just finished a fantasy horror short story (currently 6,000ish words), and I'd like to submit it to an upcoming anthology. Does anyone know of any fantasy or folk horror anthologies accepting submissions?

Thanks!

Truly disgusting.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Amazing.
