Twelve days to go. Time to repost stuff you've already readโer, I mean, cleverly repurpose existing content resources for impactful brand synergy. Jokes aside: as we whip through pull quotes of the great reviews thus far, there was never a chance I wouldn't start with this one.

Three weeks to go. I know I love to sell the "end of the world, fire, brimstone, OMG" angle with this book. And the heady themes of religion, magic, art. It's good hype. But it's really just about this. Best friends, talking. Feeling. Being. But also the end of the world OMG

Since Autumn is coming, you should know I wrote a novella centered on my love for Fall and the Halloween season. It's part supernatural crime thriller, part raunchy romcom, and all Autumnal mayhem. It's $0.99 on Kindle.

A sunset shot tonite from Hollywood, badass old streetlight (30's I think) that still works, but not lit up yet. Some palms off in the distance I thought looked nice. 2nd is a few days/weeks back - a bit clearer perspective of an ornate thing still working in the metropolis, from ages ago.
