I've said it before...John Oliver is a national treasure.

Brilliant!

Happy Barack Obama Day! 💙 Here's your reminder that there is no chance in hell that PAB will ever be as great of a person or president as Barack Obama, who, by the way, has ZERO felony convictions...

What if you could leave your old life behind and go to a place where everything is controlled and designed to make you happy? In Eden, nothing gets in the way of your happiness...not even yourself. A SHADOW FULL OF STARS is now available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. books2read.com/ASFOS

Today is the day! A SHADOW FULL OF STARS is available wherever weird books are sold. books2read.com/ASFOS #weird #fantasy #books

I figured the one from @lucyasnyder.bsky.social balanced things out.

A SHADOW FULL OF STARS is now available for pre-order in ebook, paperback, and hardcover!!! 🥰 books2read.com/ASFOS

Pennywise says, "We all write down here." "Down here" is my basement. So he is correct. #amwriting

From today's stint at the writing desk: "You never fully appreciate the secret arsenal a kitchen holds until you’re threatened by it." #amwriting

Ouch. #truthhurts

what happens when you stumble into a Traditionally Published crowd and someone asks you questions. but it me.

Good stuff is out there! This is good stuff. #fantasy www.kickstarter.com/projects/bri...

💯

Why is it that when I find something that really works for me (like a writing routine), I then go and try to "improve" it by doing something else, and the whole system falls apart and I wonder why it isn't working anymore? 😬 #amwriting #writingcommunity

Yep.

HEY AIPAC! You can have this attack ad for free :)

What's that? I hear reporting this morning that my Kickstarter for A SHADOW FULL OF STARS has funded at...what? Can this be right? 608%?!!! Holy smokes, gang! Thanks to everyone who backed, and also to the unsung heroes who shared, even if they couldn't back it themselves.

This is it! The Kickstarter for A SHADOW FULL OF STARS, my first novel in six years, ends tonight at 8 PM EDT. Help spread the word and let's see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. 😎 kck.st/4rTZyne

I'm not the only one with a Kickstarter. (Thanks, Captain Obvious!) If you want something cozy after you've read my crazy, Thorn is a safe bet.

Holy wow! We did it. Another stretch reward reached and we still have 30 hours to go. Backers will now get another novel, THE MIND'S LIE, which is no longer in print anywhere. Onward! kck.st/4rTZyne

Call Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte, because we've only got 48 hours! kck.st/4rTZyne

After Thursday, you'll never have to hear about this Kickstarter again. But you'll never get a chance to snag exclusive rewards for backers, either. 🥹 kck.st/4rTZyne #Kickstarter #books #weird

We are less than $100 from the next stretch goal. Want a free novel about an FBI agent tracking a killer while slowly losing his mind? A novel exclusively available to backers of this Kickstarter? Help get us over that next goal! kck.st/4rTZyne #Kickstarter #books #amreading

We're down to five days! Still time to unlock another stretch reward or two (or three?). Spread the word! kck.st/4rTZyne #amreading #fantasy #books #Kickstarter

The countdown continues! Only 6 days left on this Kickstarter. Snag your exclusive rewards while you still can. kck.st/4rTZyne #booksky #books #kickstarter

Okay! Only 1 week left on this Kickstarter. There are still four stretch goals available to unlock. The next one gets backers a free novel not currently available anywhere else. Let's goooooooo!. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

"All Eddie Logan had to do was take a step." That's the opening line of my novel, A SHADOW FULL OF STARS. Which, in case you somehow haven't heard me mention it already, I'm running a Kickstarter to help fund the book's publication. I hope you can check it out! kck.st/4rTZyne

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

Talking with a client last night and I reminded him that panicking over “is this draft any good?” is just your brain hopping on the Procrastination Barge, distracting you with a focus other than actually writing. No draft is great, that’s why they’re drafts. Keep going.

Whoa Nelly! This looks gooooood.

Definitely at the point in my current novel-in-progress where it all looks so ridiculous and boring and I wanna quit and boo-hoo-hoo. So I have this quote from Stephen King on a digital sticky note on my desktop. I'm at the shit-shoveling phase. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Creeping up to the next stretch goal. All backers get a novel of mine that's no longer available...anywhere...at all. Unless you have access to my hard drive. In fact, all remaining rewards are exclusive to this Kickstarter. 🤯 #booksky #fantasy #reading @kickstarter.com kck.st/4rTZyne

This arrived in the mail. 😍

Hey Bluesky Fam! My Kickstarter hit its 3rd stretch reward. Now all backers get an additional free novel. I also had to add more rewards. Thank you all who've helped me get here so far! #booksky #fantasy #reading kck.st/4rTZyne

Dean Wesley Smith posted the Kickstarters that #readers and #writers should look at this week. Lots of fantasy, dark academia, and romance. Worth studying…and backing! #books #booksky deanwesleysmith.com/kickstarter-...

This one hits hard.

I thought I'd share a small snippet of the dramatic reading stretch goal from my Kickstarter. You can access the complete version--and all the other unlocked rewards (we're only $3 away from unlocking a free novel)--by backing at the $6 level or higher here: kck.st/4rTZyne #fantasy #fiction #books

We are mere steps away from the third stretch goal for the ASFOS Kickstarter! This will force me to come up with more stretch goals, which I am prepared to do. 😉 Thanks to all who have already backed. You should have received the second stretch goal in your email this morning. kck.st/4rTZyne

My Kickstarter has hit its second stretch goal, which means I'm on the hook for a dramatic reading from the novel. Next reward is a free ebook. After that, things could get really interesting. kck.st/4rTZyne #writingcommunity #fiction #fantasy #books

Thank you all! The @kickstarter.com for A SHADOW FULL OF STARS has now surpassed the first stretch goal! That means every backer gets a bonus short story. Next level unlocks a reading from the novel. And the one after that gets everyone a free ebook copy of one of my novels. kck.st/4rTZyne

Read and share all over..he nails it

Well, that escalated quickly! We are now funded on @kickstarter.com. Keep an eye out for stretch rewards, including a free story, novel, and a dramatic reading of an excerpt from the novel. Thank you everyone! Spread the word. kck.st/4rTZyne

We are live! The @kickstarter.com for my contemporary fantasy novel, A SHADOW FULL OF STARS, is officially launched. Have you ever wished you could start a whole new life? Then welcome to Eden, where nothing gets in the way of your happiness...not even yourself. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

Launching tomorrow!!!!

Well, it's Friday the 13th, but I wrote 1,600 words today, so my theory is correct. I have bad luck on every day that isn't Friday the 13th. #amwriting #writingcommunity

We launch the @kickstarter.com for A SHADOW FULL OF STARS one week from today (February 17th)! I can't wait to get this book out to the world. 🥳 www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...
