Cutting and editing together the new intro for the DS9 Show I'll be producing soon with friends and family on YouTube, and it might be the funniest 13 seconds of my life. Which means we keep it.

🖌️WELCOME BACK HARDEEP AJULA!🎨 Hardeep will have new illustrations in this year's issues. Go here to see more cool art and gaze upon mighty crowdfund exclusives before it's too late! 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Outlining the 3rd novel in a future series (not the Dragon War), and I guess I need to break out some books on social theory before I start slinging words. At the same time, don't let anyone ever tell you that outlining isn't pantsing in itself. It is, but respectable. #booksky💙📚 #SFFbooks🪐📚

Scorching Urban Fantasy full of angels, demons, and more! Join St. Patrick as he seeks out the last Nephilim, the key to stopping the destruction of heaven and earth! https://amzn.to/3DGv6tl #urbanfantasy #booksky

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Back to work on the ending of the Dragon War trilogy's final novel, The Defiant Ones. 164k and we're about to let the main heroes/lovers reunite again, and sixth months into this rough draft I'm in love with the overall series. These are the books nine yr.old Jay would have loved. #booksky💙📚

Leaving Maryland is always hard for me, and way harder than moving from North Carolina was. If I could stay forever, I would… I pray one day. That’s what I hope the heavens are—the home you always want to go back to. #booksky #writerlife #maryland #home

Not too many hours into the day and getting stuff done at a good clip. Have to get on the train later to go back to NYC. I always hate leaving this place, my home, but I can't wait for my son and I to see my wife/his mother again. I've missed her so much. And the cat too. 🐈‍⬛ #booksky #homeward

Damn, Odo is corrupt as hell from Season 1. #startrek #startrekDS9 #trekkie

Proud to announce that I've penned another short Conan story and that it'll be featured in issue #14 of Savage Sword! Check out the bangin' cover by Alessandro Orlandelli ! Some guy named @jimzub.bsky.social will be in the ToC, too 😉 bleedingcool.com/comics/conan...

The crimes done to us were built on the permission of men who stood by and did nothing.

I LOVE BANDCAMP. For $2.71 I just got enough Synthwave for a month. #musicsky #synthwave #bandcamp #synthsagainstsorcery

Rebellion stalks the streets of Atenia, where wraiths hunt its alleyways and old hatreds rise, led by children and common against the tyrant queen! Join the fight and free the people in this standalone epic! https://bit.ly/3UWflmp #booksky #epicfantasy

The fear I have is that they arrest Andrew, the elites will dust their hands, and the media will go "there, justice for the victims!" and try to press onward. The former prince is easy pickings. It's great they arrested him (finally), but this isn't/shouldn't be the end of it. More arrests.

⚔️Sword & Sorcery is a great genre for art fans. Born in a magazine called Weird Tales, it's always had a strong tradition of dynamic, out-there art being paired with its titanic tales!🎨 & 🖌️We carry on this tradition by filling NESS with incredible illustrations! 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

An artist I really respect had her work stolen by Meta and sexualized for the sake of trying to sell it back to her, the original artist, but slopified. It was a portrait of a child she had previously completed. Read that again. Get away from that platform. Zuckerberg is a pdf-enabler.

Tired of the winter weather? Ready for a warm and wild summer? Then set sail on the galley of a trireme, set against sorcerers, empires, and the monsters of the deep in this Sword & Sorcery epic! https://amzn.to/3SNjp7T #swordandsorcery #booksky #pirates #monsters #magic #dnd

Kickass song that captures these times: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CziZ...

I just want someone to tell Peter Thiel to his face that he's the Antichrist. No, not what the last guy who got to talk to him did and conjecture that much of what Thiel does is "something that an antichrist would do." No no. I want someone to say it to his face so we can watch the wheels spin.

Do you know what sucks about getting older in a world of social media? Every band has that I grew up loving has to make a post about how many years its been since my favorite albums released, and here I am feel quite cold and gold. Thanks, Eluveitie.

Just watched this and enjoyed the hell out of it. Its a few years old, but sometimes simple fantasy has big heart and big impacts. I adore the ending. youtu.be/5CJEAQIOgYo?... #booksky💙📚 #darkfantasy #indiefilms

Fair journey to a pivotal figure in American history.

How do you tell an author (and one that you like) that their cover looks like it was generated by an algorithm instead of created by an artist, and not hurt their feelings about it? (There's a good chance it was actually made by an artist.) No, seriously, I'm asking.

On the train home with my son. Glad I get to go work in the quiet of Northern Maryland for a few days.

Black Axe t shirts and long sleeves up. Both long and short sleeve available in black or white. Huge thanks to @markjarrellart.bsky.social imrryr-shop.fourthwall.com

Fair journey, Robert Duvall. A titan of his time.

I've given up on Threads for a few reasons: a) It's literally Meta's attempt to copy X's cesspool, just with longer text allowances, but the algo is made for division and conflict. No thanks. b) For the sake of this division and conflict the algo devalues culture. c) Zuck devalues us. It was time.

Starting to put together the next collection of shorts that will be part of a reader magnet, and its both bewildering and confirming to see where I've gotten better but also where I was actually pretty good all along. Someone bought these stories for a reason, and I can't wait to put them back out!

I was gifted some Bluetooth lapel mics for Christmas and I got around to testing them today. And I honestly hope the issue is just the battery. It will not kill me or set me back to return these mics, but again--please just be the battery...

Meena left behind an empire and an emperor for a teashop in a magical city... but the shadows of the past cling with dragon claws! Spies, sorcery, and more await in this first in a thrilling trilogy! https://amzn.to/3DGv6tl #booksky💙📚 #sff🪐📚 #swordandsorcery⚔️📚

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Excited about my new vocal mic arriving today. I was able to scrounge and save bits for a more dynamic one from Fifine, a brand I’ve been using for years. A bit more advancement in sound and just in time for the next audiobook project! #booksky💙📚 #audiobooks #amwritingfantasy #writerslife

I honestly don't know how anyone can hate Starfleet Academy. It is a love-letter to every franchise before it while still pushing forward, and it does so lovingly and with deep respect to canon and lore. I nearly cried with *they* showed up. #StarfleetAcademy #StarTrek
