Counting down to the release of The Shadow Between Thoughts on October 18th by trying to convince you to read it! All this week, we're talking tropes that appear. Today, it is TRANSHUMANISM! The body is a chrysalis we all can outgrow. #scifi #fantasy #writingcommunity #booksky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 10

I've got no sense of emojis, I almost never use them. Right now, my WIP is a short story about my main vampire celebrating Halloween. He loves it because he can go all fangs and claws, and people just high five him. It's great for his self-esteem.

Counting down to the release of The Shadow Between Thoughts on Oct 18th by convincing you to read book 1! All this week we're talking TROPES! Today, it is the traditional Corporate Dystopia! What happens when they own everything but you? #writingcommunity #scifi #fantasy #booksky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 9

I talk about vampires a lot because that is what the MC of my book is, but my favorite is werewolves. The idea of your body betraying you as you lose control of yourself speaks to me, as a disable man with multiple concussions. It's my greatest fear.

Friendly reminder that I am boycotting the NFL for a good and normal reason (ban forward passes) and not weirdo baby reasons.

We're going back to the plane of New York City.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 8

The two I recommend are vampire books which inspired my vampire book. Agyar, by Steven Brust is a wonderful modern tale. The Madness Season by Celia S Friedman is a sci-fi vampire romp. Both never say vampire.

Aslo also Fledgling by Octavia E Butler

Counting down to the release of The Shadow Between Thoughts on Oct 18th by posting about why you should read both books. All this week we're talking book tropes. Today, it is the Wise Old Mentor that is my MC. #writingcommunity #scifi #fantasy #booksky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 7

My villain wants vampires to sit atop the throne of society. He wants to hunt his prey, fangs and claws in the dark as blood pours down his throat. The end of the masquerade that humans are the top of the food chain. He wants blood, power, and fear.

Tonight it is our main character Stephen, the Monster With A Heart Of Gold! #writingcommunity #scifi #fantasy #booksky

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 5
Stephen is a vampire. An avatar of blood and violence that survives on the life of his enemies. Designed to stalk through the dark and tear into his foes. He has trained for centuries in arts both martial and mystical.

He is terrified of spiders.

You know how everyone talks about how we need more queer events that aren't centered around alcohol? I'm like that, but for the Ren Fair. I don't want to sit at a bar all day, occasionally wandering over to watch a show or joust. I can't handle that, I need more stuff to do besides shop and drink.

Counting down to the release of The Shadow Between Thoughts by posting every day about why you should read book 1! We've covered characters and organizations already, so this week is TROPES! I hope you like Found Family, because we've got one! #fantasy #scifi #writingcommunity #booksky

Repelling boarders in space by going out without a suit to surprise them? Just one of the things you can do when you're a vampire!

It was something like two or three weeks ago I had to explain to an adult convert TradCath brother of a friend that Catholics don't believe in the Rapture.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 2

Yup. My character is a vampire. He is the terror in the night, the predator that hunts the living blood in his enemies. Stephen has faced his foes, fangs and claws ready to rip into them. Darkness retreats before his eyes. He loves spookiness.
