This is a Gallowglas Punch - the official #GallowglasArmy mocktail of @ltuesymposium.bsky.social #LTUE. Mike the Bartender never fails to amaze.

Landed in SLC! #gallowvant

I have my row to myself! #Gallowvant

Overheard on my flight...

Mother to her YOUNG daughter, "No. I am not getting you a bloody Mary."

Boarding my flight to SLC! #Gallowvant

Starting a new thing at events. I'll write the first sentence of a story, and people who sign up at the Gallowglas Army website will get to add the next sentence... BUT... They only get to see the previous sentence! After the event, I'll post it.

This first one is at @ltuesymposium.bsky.social

That may be the fastest I've ever gotten through TSA. Less than 10 minutes. Now plenty of time to chill and write before my flight. @ltuesymposium.bsky.social here I come! #LTUE #GallowglasArmy #gallowvant

Hopefully, it won't take as long as Halloween Jack and the Red Emperors...

Happy Friday! I've got two new episodes of the Hardcore Fanboy podcast up:

Just signed a contract with Space Cowboy Books to publish my poem, "A Case Study of Flatline Promises." It's a rant about all the cool stuff the 80's promised me I'd get with this Capitalist Distopia... but didn't.

I like it very much. It also gave me a great idea for another book on writing.

Ooooooooohhhhh!!!!!

Aaaand... I believe that makes 35 books published, maybe 36. If all goes well, I'll hit 40 by the end of the year.

Here's my new book, DRAMATURY, Making Magic With Narrative!

My Wednesday office. Wish me luck. I'm having coffee for the first time in over a month.

Diving back into studying Irish!

I'm feeling super shitty with a stomach thing, so I've been looking for ways to distract myself. Decided to look on eBay to see if any of my books are there. Came across this deal right off. If anyone wants a super RARE SIGNED copy of this, I'll cut you a really good deal.

Wrapping up 2025 Oof what a year. Lotta highs and some deep, deep lows. I got five books out this year: - Honest Dating App Profiles - Dance Among the Lightning Bolts - The Re-Imagined Princess - Beyond the Burlap - ...

Happy New Year's Eve!

What's everyone got going in 2026? Plans, schemes, resolutions, shenanigans?

Final Monday Musing of 2025 I'm thinking about 2025. It's been a roller coaster of a year for me. I've gone through flurries of productivity peppered with doldrums of stagnation. In other words, life be lifing. Here we are at ...

Anyone going to AWP want to split a hotel room or AirBNB?

I'm about to do a potentially HUGE meeting on Zoom! Send good vibes!

Just watched the Supergirl teaser. I'm so here for it.
