My book baby's first blurb! I'm incredibly grateful to #cozymystery author Alex Erickson for taking the time to read and say kind things about GRACE & JO HAVE NEVER SOLVED A MURDER!

POV: The MC in my #cozymystery updates her LinkedIn profile.

The cover of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING: Five adventurers—a dragonborn paladin, a forest gnome barbarian, an orc druid, a tiefling bard and a goliath sorcerer—are fighting a rakshasa in the richly appointed office of a royal adviser. On the rear wall is a portrait of a handsome, mustachioed human who wears the exact same robes of honor as the rakshasa. The rakshasa is savagely tearing into the paladin's throat with its claws. The look on the paladin's face is of someone unexpectedly confronting his own mortality. The shellshocked barbarian looks like she's about to drop her absurdly oversize axe; the bard and the sorcerer are clearly terrified, holding their weapons limply. The druid, on the other hand, looks resolute, angry and unafraid.

Times have changed. The old rules no longer apply. Our foes have grown in strength. We must adapt.

Don't worry. I gotchu.

With updated tactics and brand-new tips for every monster, REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING comes out this Oct. 6. Preorder at bookshop.org/a/511/9.... #DnD

Look, it’s an excellent book. My publisher and my mom both say so.

i have the privilege of knowing an above-average number of writers and editors. all of them would spit in their own grandmother's face before they chatgpt-ed their art. my information is anecdotal, but so is the majority of this reporting.

I'm about $40 from THE NOVA INCIDENT earning out its advance, so if people could buy about 50 copies of the ebook—and nobody returns any more paperbacks—I can probably hit that in my next royalty period. (If you're curious, this book came out the week my kid was born. 😅) dmoren.com/writing/gala...

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

I have some fun and exciting news to share! I've signed on with JABberwocky Literary Agency! They'll be repping my new cozy mystery series and I'm really excited to be working with them and agent James Farner specifically!

I'm thrilled to announce that @teribarnett.bsky.social is our newest @awfulagent.bsky.social client! I love the cozy little town she's created, filled with a cast of lovable characters that keeps you coming back for more and more. Throw in a dead body (or two...?), and it doesn't get any better!

If your books are in the Anthropic copyright settlement...don't be this guy.

Yes, a crappy gift card is the expectation in many class action settlements, but not this time: per work payout is at least $3,000, & may be higher.

If you don't file, you get nothing. Deadline is 3/30. File today.

Hi! I'm planning to reopen to queries on April 1st after getting a bit more caught up. Thanks for your interest!

US audio readers, take note! James is doing a giveaway for his excellent Marc Dane action-thriller series, all six available now in the US for the first time!

BRANDON SANDERSON MISTBORN 山 DAN MOREN ETERNITY'S TOMB SARAH J. MAAS ¥ HEIR FIRE 19. Mistborn Brandon Sanderson * 4.7 (4.4K) 20. Eternity's Tomb Dan Moren 21. Heir of Fire Sarah J. Maas * 4.7 (6.5K)

Look, I try not to be swayed by petty contests like sales charts, but it's always nice to pop in there in during pre-order week and find myself squeezed between Brandon Sanderson and Sarah J. Maas, no matter how fleeting. (Thanks, preorderers, you're swell.)

In case you missed this morning's announcement: new book! From me! Preorders open now.

It’s bad for motion pictures, and it’s bad for America.

Dan Moren - he fought the Galactic Cold War for you, now he's going to rob a tomb before it falls into a black hole so you don't have to.

Do you like escape rooms? Do you like heist novels? Do you like genetically-engineered, assassin bird-people?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you *really* do not want to miss out on Dan's ETERNITY'S TOMB.

Out in November. Pre-order today: angryrobotbooks.my.canva.site/eternity-s-t...
