Beware the fury of a patient man.

Proud of my revenge thriller #ReturningFire

A poster, featuring an illustrated portrait of Aubeline de Sterraux from A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE. She is a white woman with brown hair tied in an intricate hairstyle. She wears a black dress with puffed sleeves and white earings. Aubeline is shown kneeling and praying, her head looking up. The top of the poster is colored, and the bottom part is black and white, the two part being separated by a red stain reminiscent of blood. The title of the book is in the center. Underneath is more text reading "A novel by Millie Abecassis," then a quote by April Yates reading "A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original." Under the quote are the names of several characters, listed as if they were actors: Aubeline de Sterraux, Vinnie Anneton, Damarisse de Sterraux, and "unhinged dudes." At the top are Cannes festival-style quotes reading "dangerous body-based magic" and "slow-burn sapphic romance."

Forthcoming 10.21.2025 at Brick & Bloom, a spellbinding debut brimming with intrigue and dangerous magic ✨

You were excellent on The Bulwark. Thank you for your fight.

Perhaps a message that reads "ChatGPT says to stop"?

The United States Is About to Embark on a Terrifying Experiment in Mass Statelessness This scenario, until recently, might have read like a dystopian projection. But after the court’s decision on Friday, it is no longer hypothetical.

My kids did not see the appeal; me RN reading your post:

100%. Don't yuck other people's yums.

This is deeply, deeply dangerous and completely outrageous.

Useful post on AI hallucinations and the Worldcon scandal.

Mine went from picky to voracious overnight.

Relatable.

So, We've Entered The 'FBI Arresting Judges' Stage Of Dystopia - Above the Law The FBI posted about the arrest on social media because of course.

Not great. abovethelaw.com/2025/04/so-w...

Governmental malpractice. Stupidity on a macro scale. Shocking that this regime would do it, but not surprising.

Poster with text that reads "Returning Fire" and "Ted Long." Pictures include: young man aiming a rifle at camera; forensic investigators tagging evidence; a police car with lights on at night; a woman grieving; a "stop gun violence" sign held up at a rally; and a determined-looking man in a hoodie.

Mood board for RETURNING FIRE, my politically charged thriller.

#Thrillernovel #Thriller

An entire nation was forever changed and lives were brutally ripped from us on this day 26 years ago in a preventable tragedy at Columbine High School.

Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings due to America’s failed leadership, lax gun laws, and capitulation to the gun industry.

Grad student shot at FSU recounts harrowing moment gunman reloaded as she played dead A Florida State University graduate student shared the harrowing moments she was shot on campus and forced to play dead as the gunman reloaded next to her.

“I wanted to call my dad, tell him I loved him.”

But she said she then heard the gunman approach and reload his weapon. She said she heard him calmly say, "Keep running."

Is THIS the America our students truly deserve?

#FSU #FloridaState #Enough #TheTimeIsNow

Congratulations, Lauren! Welcome to the family.

Things like this NEVER have to take place, and that is the entire point.

The President is not powerless to prevent gun violence.

America is actively allowing this to happen due to failed leadership, lax gun laws, and complete capitulation to the gun industry.

Concept art for the novel RETURNING FIRE, by Ted Long. A man in side profile, wounded but determined, with a red crosshair target on his back.

Proud to be on sub with RETURNING FIRE, a poignant, politically charged thriller.

When a quiet suburban man loses his son in a school shooting, he targets NRA leadership in retaliation, leading to conflict with both his wife and the determined FBI agent tracking him.
