Why are there so many scammers? I just tried to hire an artist on fiverr for something quick and easy, and now, I have to deal with trying to get my money back from fiverr.

Three years after No Heart for a Thief was published, the audiobook is wrapping up production. Daniel C-M Ryder lends life and energy to this performance that will help bring new readers to this, if I do say so myself, hauntingly beautiful series. Release date coming soon.

Only a few more hours left of the sale. I want to thank everyone who picked up a copy, shared a post, or left a comment. I may not have made my money back with the bookbub featured deal, but it brought in a bunch of new readers.

Tomorrow a bunch of moderates & conservatives will act like MLK only wanted people to get along. They will forget most of the US hated him and water down his anti-war, wealth-redistribution, racial equity beliefs into the most palatable version. Remember he was assassinated!

It's been said before, but it must be said again. AUTHORS: DO NOT FOLLOW ME THEN DM ME TO READ YOUR BOOK! I don't even want to read your shitty posts after that.

Are you looking for a heartbreaking story of reluctant heroes, vengeance, redemption, deep-rooted magic, and a people finding the will to rise up?

I see takes in bookish spaces about adjusting the five star rating system for consistency, the unwritten rules about when and how someone should rate, what counts as reading, whether people need to read indie or trad... Here's my take: we don't need more rules for reading.

With just a couple more backers, ETHOS will reach our first stretch goal: a bundle of short stories. Then comes more art!

We're getting close. Soon we can start breaking through stretch goals and adding more bells and whistles!

People like @bshgarcia.bsky.social are always asking weird questions. Like what is this supposed to mean?

"If you haven’t read this series and you like epic fantasy, you’re missing out. The Malitu books begin with No Heart for a Thief." I didn't say it. It was @AJCalvin. I mean I agree.

It took a while to find my pitch at WorldCon. What do you think? A recluse warrior who abandoned the rebellion he started is dragged back into the mess by a war orphan hell bent on revenge. Both struggle to find a semblance of self and culture in a land stolen by colonizers.
