Sometimes what I've been researching for a book ends up being advertised to me, can't say I remember one that tickled me more than this one just now on Goodreads, no less.

Happy Friday, Gabino! I'd like to push a friend's book today: Fabricated, by @nicolegkurtz.bsky.social.

Cybil Lewis, a PI in The District, is hired to help Territory Alliance agents track an escaped violator into the city's gritty underbelly, where life is cheap and everything can be fabricated.

Thanks, Gabino! Happy #FridayReads My novella, Ember’s Hollow, is a perfect way to get into the spooky spirit.

Happy #FridayReads, Gabino! As always, thanks for doing this.

ON COMICS AND GRIEF is me examining the comic books of 1976, as well as my memories about my mother and grief around her death. The book combines analysis and memoir in ways that are experimental, asking the reader to make connections.

My second novel, Pyres, dropped last Friday, and people are loving it so far. So, I'd be so happy for its brand of burning rage to find its way into more hands.

My two novellas against a starry background: THE NIGHT LIBRARY OF STERNENDACH: A VAMPIRE OPERA IN VERSE, and THE GLASS GARDEN. The first has batwings, fangs, and a book on the cover. The other has white letters on a kaleidoscope image.

I don't know about you, but by us the weather is finally getting that crisp autumn feel.

Whatever your weather, one of my novels will probably be the perfect pairing.

Out now as ebook and audiobook (paperback coming later this month) from cohesionpress.com - SNAFU: Contagion, an anthology packed with truly "sick" stories of military action and horror, including one of my own, "Black Hell Rising."
