Well, I'm back... just before I disappear for Christmas #silly #author

promotional image: on the left a photo of the book cover Blood Runner by JD Stanley shown as a paperback book, on a tablet and on a smartphone screen, the background is a dark and spooky forest with bare trees. A quote from the book over the image appears on the right: "I continued to let her have the soft voice in the dark. It was the only soft thing about me and all I could offer. 'You're not afraid of me.' 'No, Richard.' Her hand moved to splay her fingers over my lips, to feel the voice she couldn't see. 'Like a wolf with a sheep, girl. You should be.'"

A conscience tells him he's evil

He just wants to be left alone

That’s NOT working out

When a Sumerian curse threatens the present, can he be the hero the world needs?

MC's to-do list

At the start of Wraith and the Revolution, Kye's looks something like this:
- find enough usable scrap to buy protein cubes for dinner
- don't get injured salvaging
- stay hydrated
- keep away from the shoreline (and don't get eaten by the squid)

This is an image of the five books from The Pangean Chronicles Series by JP MacDougall. In the background is the field of lupins which is located in the Sanctuary - a key location in the series. It also advertises that the books are all available on Kindle Unlimited.

Why not visit the wonderful fields of lupins in the epic series of the Pangean Chronicles. Discover the magic and power of The Santuary and find out if Micheal Shaw can win over the darkness that is rising.

Quote from In Numina, by Assaph Mehr: Two hundred paces. That’s all that separated life and death for us. Two hundred paces of choppy waters to the waves hitting the rocks at the base of the Pharos Island. To make it to land, we must find something to float upon, manage not to get dragged out to sea, make it to the rocks, avoid being smashed on them by the waves, and climb the slippery things with three legs and three hands between two beat-up men.

#amwriting #amediting Heralds of Misfortune Book 2: The Blood That Shines. On target, which is not something I can often say about myself. Not with a straight face anyway.

See Simon write. Write, Simon, write! #amwriting #amediting #fantasy Yes... the distraction is strong with me today

Very apt for our times, Justin!

Petrichor 1 is with beta readers now! I'm receiving positive and constructive feedback from avid readers and professionals. This four-part series has been a long time coming! I'm so excited to share it with the world in 2025.

Well, if I get to my #book sales target this year, I swear I'm going to get a superiority complex and start referring to myself in the third person. #amwriting

Go with the flow unless the flow isn't going where you want to go, in which case go against the flow.

We need *more* science. And especially more astronomy.

Image background is the cover art for Harbinger, book 3 in The Caein Legacy, and depicts a man and a dragon in the foreground. In the background is a stone keep with an army marching toward it. The text reads: "I'm certain she knows you did the best you could given the circumstances. And now, by joining with your brothers to oppose Colin, you will help bring her justice. If I were in her place, I would understand. I would not hold you at fault for the king's actions." I managed a nod. Her words were a balm to my wounded soul.

Saturday Snippet: Emotional

This comes from one of the more emotional scenes in Harbinger. If you know who "she" is, you know how much Andrew is hurting...

An amazing courageous book from an outstanding writer I am fortunate and honored to know.

It counts if it has a touch of liquor in it :-)

The World of Godsland fantasy series is, at its heart, a story of empathy and forgiveness...with dragons 🐉.

Thanks Nils. I hear the sequel's pretty decent too... ;-)

Thank you :-)

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.
