In my sequel to the urban fantasy, The Half-Life of Grief, I expand on how humanoid cryptids work and live among the humans. I get to introduce my version of the fae with the militant and protective Tuatha on one end and the passive butterfly people on the other. www.amazon.com/Half-Life-Gr...

For dc.com, I write my farewell to one of the best Birds of Prey runs we've ever had. Shotout @kellythompson.bsky.social, best in the biz. Never bet against Kelly.

Some recent reviews for The Half-Life of Grief: "what an amazing story! very difficult to genuinely feel for characters in a novel setting, but dean does a wonderful job with fleshing out these characters and this whole universe. the very end hit me in the feels in a good way.

I am terrible at marketing. funnyvet.com That said, I've started to lock in dates for my editor and cover artist for the proposed 2 - 3 books scheduled for next year's release (still haven't determined if I'll combine the two Dragon Vet spin-off stories or not).

If anyone would care to share this post, I'd appreciate it. Please consider giving a gift of books this year either directly from me (DM or email: [email protected]) or through your local bookstores or online. For the dog lovers: The Incomplete Dog Book - Nothing You Ever Wanted To Know About Dogs

Another post made me want to share the back of my business card. Perhaps an idea for those uncomfortable signing things for readers but still giving them something. A pre-printed autograph. I can't take full credit for the idea having heard Steve Martin does something similar. Just sharing for fun.

"So, what did you do last night?" "I determined where the victim lived, their route home from work, where their death will occur, and how their body will be found." "Uh, because you're a writer, correct?" "Hm? Oh, yeah. I should lead with that." #urbanfantasy #cryptid #cryptids #serialkiller

I will be speaking with these fine people tomorrow about books and writing. I'll announce when it's available for broadcast when I know. Looking forward to it! Check out their other episodes in the meantime! ufbpodcast.com

Well, From the Back Row has broken the top 100 list of veterinary books again. Nice to know this is still being enjoyed after all these years. I have dreams that Dragon Vet and all my other writings reach that same level. *sigh* www.amazon.com/Vet-School-S... #vetschool #veterinarian #prevet

In my continuing support of indie authors, I am currently reading Earthrise by MCA Hogarth. She had a number of books on offer, so it was hard to choose. I was a bit in the mood for scifi, since I hadn't read that genre in a while. #scifi #scifibook #scifibooks #scifilover #booklover #booklovers

Saw this posted elsewhere and had to add my song idea: Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam The damn thing gone wild, bam-ba-lam Feel free to add yours in the comments. 😀

Because my brain won't be satisfied, I've moved on to the next project, a Detective Maggie Dawson sequel called Cryptid Summer. This will come out long after Hunt For the Sancuvar and the two follow-up Dragon Vet stories, Medusa's Lament and Of Wings & Claws.

Okay, I have been in contact with my editor. Now that I know what costs will be, I have to go into advertising mode to generate the funds to bring you all new books next year, which include: 1/ #scifibook #fantasybook #horrorbook #humor #cartoons

Okay, I've "finished" my side of the edits for the next two stories in the Dragon Vet series. The air quotes are there because editing is never finished until the Publish button is hit. However, it's nice to have completed drafts so I can move on to the next project(s). #dragon #dragons #fantasy

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

A little longer excerpt from my urban fantasy, The Half-Life of Grief, where all cryptids are real. Detective Maggie Dawson takes her new partner, Kyle Mason, to her favorite restaurant in Ybor. The hostess had long hair dyed purple and green, her head shaved on one side.

If I may offer an excerpt from my urban fantasy, The Half-Life of Grief, where all cryptids are real and Detective Maggie Dawson is part of a branch of law enforcement governing cryptid issues and crime. This is in reference to her unique weapon of choice. 1/4 #urbanfantasy #urbanfantasybook

So Nice To See Democratic Women Getting The Votes and Respect They Have Earned......

Your friendly semi-regular reminder that the single greatest way to help your favorite authors is to rate and review the books you've read. Goodreads, Itch, Kindle, they all give you the opportunity to rate/review and it REALLY helps us get visibility!

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Had a reader approach me to tell me how much they enjoyed The Deep End of Midnight. Nice to receive such validation in person. If horror is your thing, trust me, The Deep End of Midnight will more than satisfy. www.amazon.com/Deep-End-Mid... #horror #horrorstory #horrorstories #horrorlover

Out today! 💙💙🖤💚💚
