My BA program didn't require a minor since it was pre-Masters, which gave me a chance to try a whole bunch of cool stuff.

That said, the Intro to Greek and Roman Mythology course I took in Classics was stellar.

But the most useful? A Conflict Management and Resolution course I took one summer.

Chatting with folks I'll be on panels with at @seattlein2025.org has got me super jazzed for the con. Being early in my writing career, this is still a surreal experience, and one I'm definitely not going to take for granted.

I can't wait to talk interesting things with cool people!!

About ready to go back to the query mines with A House of Wolves. Any agents out there want to rep a fantasy heist novel about a not-so-retired outlaw helping a group of adventurers steal a magic artefact from a possibly-evil university professor?

Funny, fast, and flush with action #BookSky๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Definitely taking a more relaxed approach here as I wait for notes on Bounty 2 from my publisher.

Donโ€™t need to be rushing, and itโ€™s left a lot of energy for DMing, and working on other stuff!

Currently at 34,000 words on my current fantasy WIP. What started as a way to flesh out the world for the DnD adventure Iโ€™m running has turned into a project I canโ€™t stop thinking about when Iโ€™m not working on it ๐Ÿ‘€

Going to start sharing snippets soon! #BookSky๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Currently working through the Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social while out at the lake. The perfect story for being out in the Canadian wilderness where it gets pitch black outside at night. #BookSky๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Honestly might go the self-pub direction with this one. Havenโ€™t really decided yet.

Iโ€™ve been bit by the writing bug again. New project is up to 28,000 words and counting!

Who is interested in a climate-fiction fantasy story set in a world where the heroes failed to prevent a world-ending calamity, and average people need to pick up the pieces? #BookSky๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

I turned the big 31 over the weekend, and my lovely partner got me two slick hats to add to my collection.

Iโ€™ve been really bad about posting on any social media. Just popping in to sayโ€ฆ
1. Iโ€™m going to be at Worldcon as a panelist in August! Schedule dropping soon.
2. Bounty 2 is still coming!
3. Iโ€™m 20,000 words into a new project and canโ€™t wait to share!

Come join me tomorrow at Keycon 41 for my panel "Fiction in the Age of Climate Change", where I'll be discussing the role of media in our understanding of the climate crisis, and the role of emergent genres like cli-fi, and traditional genres like sci-fi and cyberpunk! #BookSky๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿช

A little Friday pick-me-up. Got word that BOUNTY is sold out AGAIN on Amazon here in Canada. Still two copies left on the other side of the border. Restock coming soon!

Always nice to know people are picking up my little cli-fi passion project. #BookSky๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿช
