Brian Rathbone is a bit odd and has a long history of telling dragon jokes of questionable quality. Brian writes fantasy and science fiction novels along with copious amounts of code.

Audible listeners: It looks like I finally succeeded in restoring the Godsland Epic Fantasy audio bundle to Audible.

77 hours of audio goodness for a single credit is a heck of a deal.

Writing is like hurling yourself at the page and seeing what impression you leave.

Or something like that.

Fruit defies all logic.

Don't believe me?

You can make underwear out of fruit, and fruit salad is better than fruit cake.

The underestimation support group has been canceled because the venue wasn't big enough.

Do any of you have advice on increasing engagement on Bsky?

My current plan is to simply post more content but curious about what has worked for others.

In this economy, the cons are going to have to rent-to-own the libs.

Threads has been banned on Pern.

I'm halfway through the Godsland series audiobooks and I can wholeheartedly recommend. Very entertaining epic fantasy.

My audiobooks are deeply discounted for a limited time. This complete 12-book epic fantasy series is a story of empathy, forgiveness, magical realism...and there might be dragons!

I may have worded it poorly, but this is a principle of quantum mechanics. It's a bizarre universe we live in.

Hmm, reality doesn't exist until it is observed? Not sure I agree.

Reality does not exist until it is observed, therefore the observer is, at least in part, the creator. I just can't quite figure out to control that which I observe. Pity.

Reading fiction fosters empathy.

We need more readers.

I pondered for several days about my first post. Each time I thought I had the perfect idea, I scrapped it. What remained was empty white space. I did lots of arguing with that little voice in my head. But I think the muse and I have come to an agreement. So here goes: Do not fear the blank page.
