I would like to introduce The Arcanist Guild! We came together because we write emotionally charged, morally nuanced, and thought-provoking fantasy books. Dark stories that can shine a light on our personal struggles and make us feel seen. Something big is coming soon.

If you didn't know, r/fantasy on reddit hosts a annual vote for the best self-published fantasy novels/series. This is a great way to support indie authors. Shout-out your favorites. www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/s/...

If you're in the New, Cannan, CT area, come on out to Elm Street Books!

After comments I saw yesterday, I had a lot of thoughts and feelings. I did what I often do, and I wrote.

I'm doing my first local in-person signing this Saturday, September 13 at Elm Street Books in New Canaan, CT. Any tips?

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.

Do you enjoy rage? @ajcalvin.bsky.social seemed to. Check out this amazing review for No Safe Haven!

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.

Check out this amazing review of Only a Grave Will Do, by the incomparable @esmayrosalyne.bsky.social. www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-only-...

"This might be Dulin’s debut series, but I think he already deserves to be up there with Robin Hobb and N.K. Jemisin in terms of soul-stirring (and emotionally destructive) human storytelling through a wonderful fantastical lens." Not comparing me to two of my favorite authors.

Another book finding its place on a shelf!

If you're coming to WorldCon Seattle next week, stop by and say hi.

I'm excited for WorldCon! I'll be there selling books at the Small publishing in a big world booth!

Only a Grave Will Do was @esmayrosalyne.bsky.social's book of the month!

Packing up some bookmail.

I always feel like I have to do something to make the most of days off now that everything is so busy. But yesterday, I had the day off and I went to sit at the beach and read. It was amazing. I had mangoes and a book. I need more of that.

Uncomfortable thought of the day: I love writing, but do I really want to make writing a full-time job or do I just hate working a 9-5?

Lovely way to kickoff the day.

I can't imagine a better summation of the purpose of AI.

Sometimes books arrive slightly damaged. I don't want to sell them that way, so I figure I'll give them away. If you sign up for my mailing list, you will be entered for a very slightly damaged hardcover of No Safe Haven. There is a similar mark on the spine of each book. 🔗👇

Time to start reading No Heart for a Thief so you can know exactly what @literaryapo.bsky.social is talking about. youtube.com/shorts/aCZau...
