Preparing to fall to fury (or fermentation, whichever takes me first).
Fallen to Fury is the last book in @gregoryamato.bsky.social’s
Spear of the Gods trilogy. I really liked the first two and definitely recommend them. Signed copies are available online! shop.amatoauthor.com/collections/...

Dr. Mathias Nordvig and @rootinthewell.bsky.social interviewed me on The Sacred Flame podcast recently.
We talked vikings, of course, and a lot about how they're portrayed in popular media.

"Fits in stockings"
Some men have bigger stockings than others.
But seriously, it's on my list. Any chance of buying a signed copy?

New Ymir’s Corpse interview up on Scandinavian Aggression today, this time with @gregoryamato.bsky.social!
Gregory is the author of the heavily Norse-inspired Spear of the Gods trilogy, the final volume of which, Fallen to Fury, was just released.

Of course I don't know what ship to swim to as an alternative, so anyone with opinions: Lemme have em.
Goodreads is turning off direct messaging soon.
That was a pretty important feature for me. When there were five reviews of some weird, esoteric research text, I'd often get in touch with one of the reviewers. Not many other avenues for that sort of thing.
Time to abandon the GR ship, IMO.
Dozens of hardcover copies of Fallen to Fury stacked neatly on a wooden table.
The Spear of the Gods Saga concludes with Fallen to Fury, and I finally have print copies! Shipping these out to Kickstarter backers as fast as I can.
Preorders also live: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Oh wow, another important security update. Thanks @sumsung.bsky.social
Children of Tax and Tea: 300+ pages of humorous Norse stories and illustrations. Kickstarter exclusive.
I'm a backer. Six days left to support the campaign and grab a copy!
Tom Shippey isn't on here, but is worth soliciting to get on here because he's so damn good.
Is the smell from the durian or from durian farts? Headed to a short meeting with someone I don't like next week, and I want to get the timing right.
What organizations do authors (indie or trad) have to advocate for them and push back against this? Because it's way past time to push back. ALLi or @ibpa.bsky.social bsky.social for indies? @sfwa.bsky.social?
@danielgreene.bsky.social breaks down how bad Audible's new model is based on analysis from Robin Sullivan.
Please please please, if you're traditionally or independently published or just a consumer who doesn't want a shitty system, listen to Robin Sullivan.

How can you write an article on the New Dark Ages without even quoting GWAR as subject matter experts?
Step one: Let poor people have easier access to stablecoins.
Step two:
Step three: Poor people profit.
Thanks, but I'll stick to stealing underpants.
