Can't wait for the release day

Book Cover Artists!

QRP with your book covers 📖

Pre-orders for my big dragon book are officially open! Three heads for one low price.

It's already live at Bookshop, B&N, Amazon, etc. This tool can help you find it at your favorite outlet: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/807941...

Can I get a good signal boost on this? And I also just learned that book one is also on an apple books sale (havent' been able to check myself cuz i dont use/have ibooks???) The First Binding on ibooks (US only??)

But this is for book two in the UK.

I am at the airport now and will shortly board my flight. Have made it about half way to the cost of the ticket (which ended up being £1300). I am so thankful for what I’ve received so far. Please continue to circulate and help me to make up the difference 🙏🏾

A frankly BEAUTIFUL shot of a hardback copy of THE WORKS OF VERMIN by Hiron Ennes, surrounded by plants and shit

COPIES OF VERMIN HAVE ARRIVED! You know what that means: time to play at booktography while spreading my monstera mites to every plant in the apartment.

(never let it be said I cannot multitask)

As hard as it is for me to cope with his absence, I am glad to have been able to prevent the pain that was coming for him.
You will always be my special boy. We found each other on a little street and had delightful year together. Not enough, but already so much love and fun.

A profile view of a lynx point cat, looking at the distance over a small river, pebbles and rocks on the ground, green bushes on the background, on a rising terrain

It's been 9 days since I had to let him go, and it's so hard. He was that special cat, a tiny surprise I stumbled upon only a year ago. We were supposed to have years and years together, not to go to the vet one morning only to for him to be dead by the evening.

I've seen comments about "Witch king" by Martha Wells complaining about how we are dropped into a world and a story without all the informations. But to me it felt purposeful, with enough material to understand the gist of things + a promise of having the right info when needed

Very good question, one I don't have a definitive answer for I think.
But I'd that an author who gives you *some* information and retain others, an author who paints a deep sense of place with clues you can pick up upon to guess at some informations does a lot for my trust

Doesn't bother at all, as long as I have a feeling the author is working on the background to slowly feed me the necessary information. If I have the trust, I enjoy being dropped into a story and being a little lost

A cover illustrated by James Fenner. A woman with long red hair and padded clothing sits on the ground, petting the head of a smiling serpentine dragon. But the dragon has more than one head! On the left, a second giant dragon head emerges, frowning, looking at her while wearing a monocle. On the right, a third giant dragon head emerges, jaws wide, screaming in anger. The text is teal, contrasting sharply against the red and maroon of the creatures. The text on the cover reads "THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS. JOHN WISWELL, author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN."

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.

Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

A picture of a crowded bookshelf, with a copy of A BLOOD AS BRIGHT AS THE MOON, a glass vase holding a wilting white rose, a bronze model of Bran Castle and a litograph depicting Sighișoara.

BLOOD publishes today! 🧛🏻‍♂️🦇🌕🩸 I’m feeling as if I’m on a rollercoaster, speeding (and looping) through several different emotions, the most prominent of which are fear and incredulous happiness. But I’m also proud of BLOOD and can’t wait for you to read it or listen to it.
