I’m not sure, but that does seem likely? Hopefully I haven’t spilled any beans I wasn’t supposed to. Thanks for your interest!

Coming later this year! A short story to give readers a taste of how I write Solomon Kane, and hopefully encourage them to pick up SUFFER THE WITCH next year!

I love rewriting myself. Pulling up the previous draft in one window and a blank document in another. Retyping helps me re-inhabit the story, paying close attention to narrative rhythm and word choices. It’s not the fastest way to revise, but I can’t argue with its effectiveness.

James Gunn made Spotify playlists for some of the characters in SUPERMAN. The playlist for Clark features a lot of songs I love, and the following commentary: “Clark listens to a lot of upbeat music he thinks is edgy but is not,” and never have I felt more seen. I’m 💀

“SUPERMAN”? More like “TWO HOURS OF FUN AND JOY THAT IS IMPERFECT BUT ALSO SOMEHOW MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS, MUCH LIKE THE TITLE CHARACTER HIMSELF” amirite?

Srsly y’all. I cried like three times 😭

I’ve been able to kept my excitement fairly bottled till now. But today? Today I will probably be useless. Because today, I get to see SUPERMAN at 7:15.

Oh look, a headline that IMPROVES my mental health.

My problem in 2025 is that I currently have enough work to be a full-time writer but not enough money. It’s a great problem to have! Unless you’re my girlfriend, or friends, or family, who love me and like to see me regularly, and to know I’m healthy and well-rested.

Easy, right? No problemo.

With my original novels and my forthcoming IP novels, I’ve checked off a bunch of bucket list items. Now all I have to do is
1. get a gig (even a TINY ONE) writing a comic book, and
2. write something for the moving pictures.
Then I can die… not happy, per se, but maybe content-ish?

Named a chapter of my WIP “Fire & Blood” and then remembered it was already the title of a George R.R. Martin Westeros book. Said “motherfucker!” Then gave the chapter a different, less good name, and moved on with my day.

Hey congrats!

This is the hard work of writing: taking things bigger than ourselves (ideas, feelings, scenes, or even technical info), and finding clear ways to communicate them to readers.

Every month at my day job, I write a short article for the company newsletter, translating technical concepts and industry standards into language that (hopefully) a layperson can understand. The final product is usually 250-500 words, but it belies the hours of study and drafting.

as we all know, red dragons breathe right-channel audio, white dragons breathe left-channel audio, and yellow dragons breathe video. Drawing of a hydra with those colors as dragons

My first idea for an ALIEN novel. We eventually went another way.

Have you heard something I have not? Or are you referring to the book’s release in France? Either way, so happy for the shout out!

@shaunhamill.bsky.social is back !

Our cohost writes Alien novels, no bigs 💅 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/783000...

Hi! So sorry for a delayed reply! I have lots more to say about this world and these characters, but I haven’t been given a green light for book 2 yet. If you’re interested, please spread the word! Sales help drive publisher interest!

I had no idea about this but I’m deeply honored! Magicians is one of my favorite novels and a huge influence on Dissonance!

I love the moment in "Return of the King" when Arwen arrives at Aragorn's coronation. Liv Tyler's performance communicates so much shyness and vulnerability, and then he sweeps her into his arms and I burst into tears EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
