My book came out yesterday but it is not too late to pitch a review of it to your favorite place or pitch an interview with me or have me on your podcast or eat cake while reading the book. I'm just saying.

I would like to be nominated for a prize that's given out at a con. It almost doesn't matter *which* one, honestly. And a win isn't what I *want*-want. The nomination alone would be so cherry.

BTW, outside of the City Folk dismissal inherent to this? The tiny little town in West Virginia where we filmed, ahem, "West Virginia"? Those folks regularly drove half an hour minimum to go see a movie at the only theater in the county. These guys are all so stupid.

This is a remarkably dumb thing to say on a variety of levels, but the sheer idiocy of it coming from a guy whose corporate headquarters is in Los Gatos is staggering. I get in the car and go to the next town to *buy a book*. I've crossed county lines to go to a movie, ffs

My novel about systematic evil & the need for regular people to team up & fight it is now available in the UK. Sadly, some themes never go out of style. THE DEVIL IN SILVER. With a gorgeous cover and a wonderful introduction from the great @sgj.bsky.social www.penguin.co.uk/books/476343...

Are you an elephant reader? Then my series is for you! 5 books so far, overlapping plots, lots of characters, an epic world. Servants of the Moon and Sun. What if Maleficent was Aurora's mother and what if she wasn't really evil? www.amazon.com/dp/B08HLVPF7D

GOOD MORNING I am SO excited to announce that my gothic horror novel, Woman of Sorrow and Blood, is coming out on March 13th!! Click through to see the full cover, blurb, and of course, preorder links!! #BookSky #IndieBooks

The amount of how this is Of Interest To Me is Enormous. So cool.

Weeeeeeellp, didn't expect to have the central focus of so much of my entire life just lit up with an enormous spotlight like this, but here we are.

Increasingly feeling like I'm that Jay Sherman "BUY MY BOOK!" standee, but the bookstore I've been set up in is on fire.

Our leaders must *choose* between 2 divergent futures- a privilege few are granted. One where they are remembered as courageous examples of strength in the face of hate. Another where they are condemned forever as cowards too afraid to put their bodies between their own people and rapacious evil.

It's release day for my book! Thank you so much to @jacklegpress.bsky.social and @fulmerford.com

Best review of To Conquer Death yet: "I would never have bought this book if you weren't the author. Not my usual interest. But I am really enjoying it! The characters are so alive and interesting!" -My Mom. richardmoonbooks.com

Love the energy, but this is performative stupidity. A QR code isn't going to change anything about anything going on; be just as effective as a law requiring ICE agents to wear a sign saying "I promise to be nice, kinda"

Me: puts on The Two Towers, Extended Edition. Is instantly mesmerized by the opening sequence of Gandalf and the Balrog. Neil Degrasse Tyson, emerging from the aether: "Due to the difference in their surface area, Gandalf would fall significantly faster than the Balrog."

Nevill: okay so imagine a story King: right, right Nevill: now take away the plot and characters King: no plot or characters? Nevill: that' right King: but that would just leave…? Nevill: that's right Nevill: a lot of extended scene description Lovecraft: i'm loving this more all the time!

Nevill: ok so imagine now Nevill: a scene of destruction Nevill: perhaps caused by a gigantic, womanly ass King: oh my god this is too scary!

Watching a thing about pet evacuations from the fire last year, and who shows up as the star of the show? My dog.

It is always, fundamentally, about confidence, and confidence is one of those weird things where if you pretend to have it, then you will have it for real. You know your story. You know why you love it. You've put a ton of work into telling that story. So be confident. You are the expert.

SKEETS, call them, we do.

Well, there goes my sunday plans

Christ, this is a weird night to come back to this app after a few hours of freedom.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Took me under 3 minutes to tell Discord that I would stop using Discord entirely if they chose to enshittify themselves.

Sack up, losers

Just in case things continue to get worse, I want to spread a little joy. So here's a bunch of ways you can watch/hear me I talk about why I write, read from my book, and opine on how art connects us all. First up, Atmosphere Press' Author Reading Event: #booksky www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhPQ...

Tolkien: so in conclusion Tolkien: that's why hobbits never wear shoes Tolkien: now since everyone's left for the day- Jones: i'm still here! Tolkien: Tolkien: [through gritted teeth] so you are

Tolkien: i can't wait to get away from this stupid teaching Tolkien: and get back to what's really important Tolkien: sexy sexy hobbit feet Tolkien: now if there's no questions, i think we can end class early Diana Wynne Jones: actually professor Jones: i have several questions Tolkien: christ

Woke up this morning and was immediately attacked

Superspies and mayhem! The first Viral Agents book--AGENT ZERO--is $2.99USD (and CAD) in ebook through these retailers, until January 21. books2read.com/agentzero

I am absolutely supportive and think this is a good idea, but at the same time my practical nature requires me to ask if we want Vault Dwellers? Because this is how we get Vault Dwellers.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

One year ago. The skies here today are much better. The mountains are green. The memories persist.

Ahhhh, this is very cool, and certainly won't feed into some obsessions of mine, nosiree

One year ago, I was taking in my garbage cans, expecting a windstorm that would probably knock out my power and leave me at home alone for most of the night, with nothing to do but read by flashlight. By the next morning, my house was gone. But I still had my book. #eatonfire #altadena

Ah, interesting that the implication here is that it is *everyone else's fault* that such a banal observation provoked a particular response. Nothing whatsoever to do with its actual content. Of course not.

Just got an estimate from the kids' orthodontist, perhaps you might... buy my books... 🥲 bookshop.org/p/books/the-... bookshop.org/p/books/rabb...

reporter: donald trump has announced that americans must evolve into a race of hardy metal men via mandated injections of liquid mercury. your response? klobuchar: *visibly straining to remember line consultants came up with* donkey kong donald’s economic policies are “bananas” for small business

Anyone who 1) likes Gavin Newsom 2) said it was “too early to worry” about who’s running 3) believes, like Gavin suggests, that the Democrats lost the election for being “too woke” Is: wrong

Hello hello, I'm Richard, I write scripts, develop projects with Voyage Media, have produced movies, have two scripts out on option right now, and am working mostly right now on my second book. I write because, honestly, I've tried *not* doing it, and couldn't hack it. #scriptsky

THOUGHT I got a much-welcomed voicemail from a book festival I was excited to be a part of, and spent several hours feeling pretty good about that. Once the morning settled down, I re-listened to the voicemail and realized it was actually a scam, and I had misheard the name. Ah, well, alas.
