The Unbroken anthology - featuring never before published stories from 36 of the most prominent SFF authors working today (and me) - is now live on Kickstarter.

I want a movie about The Swordsman, but that's probably too much to ask.

“The guilt will always call you back.”

New faces, same nightmares.

New hardback/ebook/paperback covers for THE WORLD-MAKER PARABLE and THE WORLD-BREAKER REQUIEM rolling out soon.

A completed duology of standalones.

Art and design by me.

An adorable raccoon.

Happy Superman day!

I'm trying to cut down on my comic book purchases for a while, but GAAAAH, there are just so many I want to read. #comicbooks #comicbooksky

The main thing you need as a writer is commitment to the bit.

Whatever your bit is, hone it against your very bones until it’s sharp enough to cut the eyes of those who dare to look upon it.

That’s what readers want.

Silverado 1985 film poster

It’s repeated viewings of films like this one that absorb my time and prevent me from tapping into westerns I’ve yet to see. Not a weak character to be dug up in this gem and hard to believe it premiered 40+ years ago. Heck, Bruce Broughton’s score is enough to keep me coming back.

My Bluesky engagement strategy:

The Edge Hotel in Whitehaven, Cumbria

If anyone is in the Whitehaven area, could you pop over to the Jawas and ask if they have any secondhand droids for sale, thanks.

It's so good, folks. At the risk of shameless self promotion, I wrote a review of volume one that got super long because there was just so much to dig into. #comicbooks #comicbooksky beforewegoblog.com/review-the-p...

If D2D doesn't roll this back, I might have no choice but to delist my books from D2D. As an indie author who sells my books wide (not exclusive to any platform), this is a terrible practice.

Others have already said this, but it's ridiculous to penalize authors who make less. I will be fine, but this isn't great for anyone just starting out.

Also, it is ridiculous that I've learned about this change on here instead of an email from Draft2Digital.

Draft2Digital will now charge authors a $12 USD annual fee if they make less than $100 USD a year. People who make $100 or more will be exempt from this.

New accounts will also be charged a $20 USD activation fee.
