I'm on the final editing pass of Dragon Bone Elixir, Dragon Reich #3! My wife and I are reading it aloud together. She's helping me spot any tidbits of copy that need one last polish. So lucky to have such an amazingly supportive partner! ❤️🐉📖

This is what a post-truth society really looks like.

Crossing my fingers for this rapture.

Was really enjoying Alien: Earth but had to cancel my Disney/Hulu account due to the fascist boot licking. If you want to watch good TV in the future I encourage you to do the same.

Taking care of your mental health is so important. A customer that comes in where I work used to be a very angry asshole, and now he is one of my favorites. He's so much happier and friendlier. After talking about it I found out he had started taking a new medication.

Tricky. 🤔

JUST IN: An independent United Nations inquiry has concluded for the first time that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and that the country’s top leaders have incited genocide, in what it described as “the “most authoritative UN finding to date.” https://cnn.it/3VjaHzS

Big Indie Weekend Panel: THE LEGACY OF DRAGONS. Is there a creature out there that can challenge the dragon for dominance in the fiction world? @hannafordjenny.bsky.social, @emmaladams12.bsky.social, @jordanloyalshort.bsky.social and @llmacrae.bsky.social discuss creatures, beasts and monsters

Fox News must fire Brian Kilmeade – and completely and utterly denounce his genocidal beliefs. Now.

Took Gracie on a nice walk at the old insane asylum. Sneaking in as much summer as I can at the last minute. I've unlocked a new form of procrastination.

Want to thumb your noses at the A.I. bros? Do you enjoy punching Dragon Nazis? I found out yesterday that Anthropic stole my book to train their A.I. It was pretty disheartening in a way I didn't expect. But I know just how to tell them to fuck off. Let's go on an adventure! #booksky #sff #books

Saw this review on Reddit today which really perked me up after learning Anthropic A.I. stole my book yesterday. This is why I do it! "CITY IN THE DRAGON’S EYE by Jordan Loyal Short is one of the best fantasy novels written in 2024..."

Behold, I have answered the question: "I finished Dungeon Crawler Carl and want to check out more LitRPG/Progression Fantasy. What should I read next?" #booksky 🪐📚💙📚👀 #sff

I've been exploring the LitRPG genre lately and posted a bunch of reviews on Reddit. www.reddit.com/r/litrpg/com... #Booksky #Fantasy #BookReview #LitRPG

I capitalized one fantasy worldbuilding element and immediately tumbled down the slippery slope. Now my manuscript is ALL CAPS.

A little mini review of one of my favorite LitRPG books. Azarinth Healer! #booksky #fantasy #LitRPG #bookrecommendations #bookreviw

I had the audacity to suggest that an A.I. cover is a sign of low effort and good lord the basement dwellers seethed out of the cracks.

Just editing Dragon Bone Elixir, #DragonReich 3, and chilling with my sidekick.

Just got a notification that asked if I wanted to pin yahoo to my taskbar 🤣🤣🤣

Woohoo! Just surpassed 50 pre-orders for #DragonReich 3. The Dragon Bone Elixir is, frankly, nuts. :) #amwriting #fantasy #booksky

Gracie loves bloobs.

The only problem with writing a character that is an insane cosmic horror God of Poetry...is that you then have to write the poetry. #amwriting #fantasy #booksky #LitRPG #StarlightSaint

I've been writing a LitRPG novel the last few weeks and it's a fucking blast! ...keeping track of the stats has been slightly less fun. #amwriting #litrpg #fantasy #booksky

Slightly diminish a band: The Treatment

The #BelovedSFFBooks Sale has its last day today! Both of my books are included, so if you've not got them yet now's the perfect time to do it! There's absolutely loads of books included in the sale that have all been recommended by other authors and SFF bloggers ! 🔗⬇️

What is the difference between statless LitRPG and progression fantasy?

Filling out one of a gajillion forms on a book promotion site and these are the trigger warnings I have to select from. It's carefully phrased not to say that, but that's what it is. Heaven forbid we expose people to interracial marriage or gay folks.

Absolutely not giddy about seeing my books in a library! #booksky #amwriting #fantasy

I got a bookbub!
