Dismayed to report I did not get Sabrina Carpenter for Christmas this year. 😔

Idk who needs to hear this but not every text message you send warrants a response. Stop overthinking.

I feel like a functioning, happy person for the first time in 7 years. Depression is insane. Anyway, gonna keep manifesting whimsy and happiness because I fucking deserve it after all the trauma. 😌

It’s here.

Moving in 2 weeks to a nicer, cheaper place 3 minutes away. Yay! Everything is expensive and my dog passed away from surgery complications. Major fucking boo. I’m so tired. I’ve got bills. Please buy my books.

Oooo a new review of The World-Maker Parable! 🔥

Doggo went home today,which is great. However, we had to pay an additional $4500 more than what we were expecting because the vet underestimated 🫥 Anything helps.

Pupdate 2: Leg surgery went well, she should be going home tomorrow.

Just wanted to share this one more time. Anything helps! What we’ve raised so far is very much appreciated. 🫶

lol. “Yellar.”

Hey everyone. Pupdate. Surgery today went well. Only some bruising on internal organs, but nothing major. Doggo's gonna be in the ICU tonight with a vet on 24-hour watch. Leg surgery is Friday and she should be back home Sunday or Monday.

Hey everyone. Hate that I have to post this. My dog was hit by a car tonight and suffered a shattered leg and damage to her intestines. Surgery and medical expenses are roughly $20,000. It’s been a rough year and anything helps. gofund.me/29fd98bcc

Thank you to everyone who’s shared or donated. It’s immensely appreciated!

I’m calling you every name in the book if you fucking tell me to “just euthanize” my dog.

If you pirate my books, or any author’s books, I genuinely hope you develop week-long constipation.

I bought the stupidest fucking sweater 😂

7 up for grabs.

Them: “Hey Luke, how do you write commercially appealing fantasy?” Me: “That’s the cool part—I don’t.”

I wish my writing came from a happier place. That said, my depression and grief and churned out some fucking BANGERS.

🔥 I’m giving away TEN (10) audiobook promo codes in exchange for a review. Just DM me. “The guilt will always call you back.” THE WORLD-MAKER PARABLE, performed by Teagan Walsh-Davis, is an interpretation of “The Inferno” centering on guilt and the pitfalls of utopia.

Did the math and I am $321.74 from TRIPLING last year’s royalties.

Them: “What do you write?” Me: “Trauma.” Them: “…No, like, what genre?” Me: “Oh, sorry. Fantasy-trauma.”

Alas, the battle rages on. 😂

So I may have got a little bit carried away with this review. But Fortune's Fool by Angela Boord has given me many thoughts and even more feelings, and even then I don't feel like I've done it justice. What an absolutely spectacular book and I'm ready to dive into the rest of the series.

Wow

Holy shit this game.

Showing up to the first date dressed as Donkey because I “misconstrued” the part of her profile where she said she eats ass. Bye.

It’ll take time but, eventually, your books will find their audience. Been here nearly 7 years, writing nightmarish things I’ve only recently learned might interest fans of Malazan and Dark Souls. Gained numerous comparisons to Poe, been called the modern Poe. Check ‘em out?

Bless him. He’s so close.

ICYMI the big news last week, THE BOOK OF SPORES anthology is coming soon to Kickstarter!!! 🍄🍄‍🟫 Follow the KS pre-launch page HERE: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fan...

Fuck ass bird gods in Adjacent Monsters be like

Feeling much less like I want to throw myself down the stairs today, so that’s good. Car is in the shop, though, soooo please buy my books 😂

“uSinG an em DaSh mEaNs yOur bOoK iTh AI” No, it means I know how to use an em dash, you bowl-licking fuck knuckle. 🙄

So here’s the thing about Shadow Twins 3 aka the big ass finale to a multiversal story starting with the Adjacent Monsters duology. I didn’t want to write it for ages. I wasn’t sure *how* I was going to write it. I wasn’t even sure how great an impact AM would have on it.

There is no escaping the forest of Hell. “Be reverent,” the Vulture said. “That is the least these bones deserve of us. This place was beautiful once; it is a nexus of memory. We will need whatever it can give. Whatever it wants to give.” From SHADOW TWINS, BOOK 3 WIP

My sweet nightmare-of-an-audiobook is nearly a week old. Sales have been pretty solid, too. 🫶

Listening to perhaps my most popular book, brought to life by the absolute perfect narrator, is so fucking surreal, man.
