Fuck. All I wanted to do was grow old and play D&D. Now I got to worry about fucking Nazis in the street and a lunatic in charge.

I know August is about a thousand years from now, but the pre-order page for DUST OF THE DEAD, is live! A few folks read an early draft... "Start your Fletcher trail here - this is a great book." -- @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social Cover reveal coming soon! www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHT3P575

Met with an old friend I hadn't seen in almost 20 years last night. First thing he says? "You got fat." Ah, friends.

Editing RED SANDS, and if I read this book one more time, I might eat my own face.

Had a dream that no one read or reviewed my books, and then I woke up and couldn’t tell the difference.

Thought about going back to therapy, so I checked out Betterhelp. Great idea, but I don’t shit cash.

Went to Barnes and Noble and bought three books. $100. That seems like a lot? Or am I insane?

Sure, he's a deranged lunatic pedo with tyrannical tendencies, but he also smells like a factory full of rotting meat.

Today's exercise in frustration: Trying to wrangle third-party vendors into replying to email. I'd have better luck conjuring a demon with a bag of cheese.

A lovely review of DOGGED by the Irresponsible Reader! "I’m on the verge of over-hyping this here. I don’t know what else to say that’s not potentially overblown." irresponsiblereader.com/2026/01/13/d...

Next time I have the urge to visit Threads, slap me. Fuck, what a nightmare. I know shit's falling apart, but it's like a nonstop deluge of doom over there.

To paraphrase Texas Hippie Coalition: Woke up and mad about it.

Still trying to get a D&D group together. I've gathered 2 out of 4 nerds. Gotta catch 'em all!

Once again friends, I am on hold with support. Some day, I will be rewarded for this hell with all the orgies I can stand. Until that day, I will daydream about chucking myself off the roof.

Critical Role has reignited my love for D&D. Forgot how much I loved this game.

anyway, this was a really old building that now has a lot to rebuild. they've been through a lot, so any donations would really be appreciated checkout.square.site/merchant/P9T...

I've put together a list of the best Fantasy & Horror books I managed to read in 2025. A pretty good year overall. Which took the number 1 spot? Find out here: toomanyfantasybooks.blogspot.com/2026/01/best...

I had a gift card and a mad need to use it

Everyone you love is made of meat.

Trying to get a group together for Tomb of Annihilation/D&D. You'd think, as project manager is one of my job titles, I could do this. You'd think wrong.

Current reads: -Dogged -There is no Antimemetics Division Current WiP: -Red Sands -Untitled prison legion fantasy

I'm not an alarmist by any stretch, but come on. Now they're just TRYING to start WWIII.

I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng jacket

I'm not reading or writing anything right now. I am adrift. Work is consuming my soul, and I want to rip my core out and throw it into the sea. Aside from that, things are pretty good.

This year, I'll be inventing new and exciting ways to... oh. They already did that? Fuck.

I can feel my soul dying. They made me do this.

I am. So. Tired. I just want to write books and sleep in.

Sometimes I think about how I went to see Louis Black live, and he was doing a signing after the show, so I went to get his book for him to sign, and got stuck in an elevator for an hour instead. My life is weird.

Officially back to work. Enjoyed my mini-vacation, but I can't eat no pay.

[listening to music] Shell: Can you not play that new stuff around me? Me: It’s the Goo Goo Dolls. Long Way Down Shell: … Me: It’s 30 years old Shell: I’ve never heard it Me: *stares in GenX*

Looks like writing is postponed for a week

Back to work for the weekend. Fixing PS2 lasers. Did you know the screws are really really really tiny? Fuck.

Hey, third week of January, I'm doing an AMA over at r/grimdarkEpicFantasy. Join me, won't you? Or don't, and make me cry.

Travelling tomorrow so here's wishing a merry Xmas eve-eve to those who celebrate. Anyone looking for book recs over the festive season might want to check out the Recommended Reading page on my site (featuring updates I was too lazy to include before now): anthonyryan.net/recommended-...

Three minutes and I am free from the Sisyphean hell that is region changing consoles for the day.

Pancakes don't get enough credit. A little nutmeg, some vanilla and cinnamon, and holy shit, comfort cakes.

If you think about it, remove pleasure from sex, and it's just body horror. A tentacle penetrating orifices while fluids drip everywhere until someone is injected with DNA.

Listening to Critical Role, and it's like hanging out with a group of old friends.

Honest question: Does anyone know a humble engineer? Just curious.

I'm back. Threads should apologize to the nearest plant for stealing its oxygen.

Hey, if you struggle with building a PC, don't worry, the internet says it's super easy. You know, the internet- font of wisdom and intelligence. Fuck.

Never done one of these before, but seeing quite a few of them, so what the hell? If you're thinking about the best things you read this year, here's two to consider that you might want to, I dunno, say nice things about over Christmas dinner, or remember come awards nominations next year! :)

After spending some time on Threads, I can say this place is lively as a funeral.

Legacy of Brick & Bone has been nominated for some Indie Ink Awards and voting is officially OPEN 😍 I’d appreciate it so much if you checked out the nominees and if you’re so inclined to vote for B&B, I won’t argue with you!! In fact it would be amazing!! indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

🩸🐺 Chapter titles for Moonfall, the sequel to my banter blood book Lightfall, out June 2🩸🐺 Open question whether showing chapter titles is more boring than your neighbor back from holiday who wants to tell you about it But here they are regardless Most are v. silly. But I cried writing 14 and 31

Four of these might do fuck all for my pain, but at least I’m fucking up my liver
