I don’t post here much because I’ve been busy writing my first novel. “Oh, really?” You say. Yes! And you can read it right now in serial form… for free. #writesky #booksky

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Fascism is all or nothing. And when you order it, the whole table gets served. Your friends, your family, the people you claim to care about—they didn’t ask for this dish. But they’ll still be stuck with the check for your poor choices.

One of the great pleasures of writing ISLA is weaving in the Mayan mythology of the Popol Vuh. This week’s chapter is an interlude—my own spin on one of those stories, folded into the larger arc of the island. #writersky #booksky

When the world seems out of control, nothing is more important than art.

I grew up on The Goonies, Labyrinth, The Last Starfighter—those adventures where kids stumbled into something bigger than themselves. I looked for a book that captured that same spirit—story plus soundtrack—and when I couldn’t find it, I decided to write one. That’s ISLA. #writersky #booksky #80s

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Kindness and caring are punk.

What do Siouxsie Sioux, Warren Zevon and Camille Saint-Saens have in common? They’re all part of the ongoing playlist as I roll out my novel. #writersky #readersky

This looks moody AF. I’m in!

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

“…every character setting off on an adventure had a sense of purpose, some greater destiny. Luke left Tatooine. Wendy went to Neverland. Frodo left the Shire. But as he thought about it more closely, “George Pérez left Chicago”—or wherever—didn’t feel legendary, just an incredulous stretch” #booksky

the Star Tribune just called me and told me they would not be publishing the obituary I wrote for my father as it is “unfair to him” and “in poor taste” so here it is and fuck the strib ✌🏻

New business idea: an AI buzzword generator to replace tech bros. How’s it feel now, Chad?

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?

Hey #Booksky I'd love to work on more book covers! Any authors out there looking for a cover artist? 👀 #art #fantasyart

Pop fresh batteries into your Walkman and follow twelve-year-old George Perez to the Yucatán coast, where myth isn’t as dead as it seems. He’s not searching for gold—he’s following the echo of a story his father left behind. #booksky #readersky open.substack.com/pub/tinyworl...

The kids have decided to be into grunge but they can’t remember what it’s called so youngest just asked for “the dirty man music” and now I’m gasping for air 🤣

From @joe-hill.bsky.social: “It’s always later than you think. Even when I’m sitting still at my desk, I’m in a desperate footrace against the clock to get in one more paragraph, one more line. It may look like not much is happening, but really I’m sprinting madly for my life.” #writingcommunity

I went to the library yesterday. Sauntering to the local author area I noticed copies of The Midnight Vault were missing. Asking my friend, the librarian, where they might have gone she gave me a strange smile and said, “they’re always checked out.” 😳 #booksky books2read.com/themidnightv...

Unpopular opinion: Dems aren’t rushing to do something about Trump’s deletions of programs & agencies because they agree… but would never be elected again if they tried it.

Flop (noun): The satisfying heft and bend of a book as it lands on a table—neither too stiff nor too limp, just the right amount of thud. Example: “The Midnight Vault has excellent flop” - @hannadelaney.bsky.social books2read.com/themidnightv...
