Yay! After a very long time I have published a short story! And you can read it for free at Swords and Sorcery Magazine right now!!! The November issue is out and mine is one of four new stories available for your reading pleasure! Please have a look.

My second Ele story is live! A young, untested warrior fresh to the wild streets of New Crezbron finds herself caught between right and wrong on a night where the line between the two is blurred . . .

Issue 166 of S&SM, November 2025, is now live with four new stories for your reading pleasure! swordsandsorcerymagazine.com

"We Have to Go Back" by Nathan Long swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/we-have-to-g...

"A New Justice in Town" by David K. Mitchell swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/a-new-justic...

"Guard Duty at Pink House" by D. A. Raymond swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/guard-duty-a...

I have the best Magic UB idea, who is ready? KPop Demon Hunters and bring back banding

Have 24 seconds of a blissed-out duck, you deserve it.

Sometimes all you need is a connection to home. When Ele spots the blue skin of another anthozoa, she seeks them out. Who she finds isn't what she expected, but will the old man Bardo prove to be what she needs? Read "The Old Man of the Sea" by @thelargestduck.bsky.social in this quarter's issue!

If you're interested in a slice-of-life fantasy story about a paladin wanting to reconnect with her heritage, I have the story for you!

Ah, that thing in fiction where the characters have to be idiots for the plot to work, except I'm listening to a podcast or reading an article and it's "The speaker has to have huge gaps in their critical thinking to get to what they want, which is the rant."

Really liked this book when I read it earlier this year. Glad to see it's getting the recognition it deserves

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Sometimes you do shots with your friend for their birthday. Sometimes you eat spicy-ass peppers and sober up for your friend’s birthday. I will not be taking questions.

think we've reached the inevitable point in genre book discourse when i just need everyone to read things they enjoy instead of reading things they hate to get mad at. but the fact that this happens every time points to a fundamental problem with... discoverability? but also willingness to engage

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I hate writing and myself. It's great, really.

Over the past three months, I learned everything I could about Final Fantasy – from its rich history to its massive cultural impact and the many in-jokes shared among its fans. In time, I understood why it has captured the hearts of players everywhere. 🎥: youtu.be/II7MQKqrcj8

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

Needed this reminder today.

I think if we take away anything from the trans medicare coverage ban being taken out of the bill it's that pressure works. As stupid and futile as "call your reps!" can feel, we saw a direct result of it. Now you have to call and email your House reps saying you need the ICE funding gone.

I still kind of can't believe it, but my gruesome twosome Ilwyn & Vencario will be in SHATTER THE SUN! This is the last thing I wrote before the wheels came off my personal life again at the beginning of the year, so it carries a perhaps-disproportionate amount of my emotional freight in it.

Hard to even articulate how awful today is for news, how many fucked up supreme court decisions got handed down, just fully engulfed in a tide of bullshit. A better world than this is still possible. But holy fuck is the hole we have to climb out of deep right now, and getting deeper by the day.

The Turning of the Bones is available for preorder from MVmedia and anywhere books are sold! Official release date: July 7, 2025. www.mvmediaatl.com/product-page...

Maybe it's the half-finished Manhattan talking, but I'm in a really good mood and fancy talking Sword & Sorcery. Got a podcast or Youtube show and wanna talk S&S with an enthusiastic evangelist? Hit me up!

This was fuckin gnarly in the best way possible. Go check it out! Sad and scary and bloody. What more can you ask for?

Maya Deane, author of Wrath Goddess Sing, read it.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

My presence in the S&S scene as a trans author owes quite a bit to Jessica Amanda Salmonson. I might brag one day about being the Transfeminine Queen of S&S, but before and above me is the Empress, and that's her, forever.

It's my birthday today! You don't owe me a dang thing, but a cool gift would be to tell a friend about @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social Publishing's making a very positive difference in my life, and I want to keep doing it for however many birthdays I've got left.

If you were not currently committing great sins, Crom would not have sent me to write about trans issues via sword & sorcery
