I've finished the draft of Every God has its Day, The Chronicles of Corbin Pierce: Book Two. Clocking in at 100,867 words. This is the eighth novel I've written, and that's crazy to think about.

I'm so close to finishing this manuscript draft I can taste it.
Who's your carrier, because this feels like misinformation that you're being given somewhere.
Just got through my second indie book of the year, Let Sleeping Gods Lie by @benschenkman.bsky.social, which was a fun story based on indigenous American myths. It was mostly based on legends from the Quinnipiac people (love that name btw!) with a great magic system built around the spirit world.
I'm so glad you had fun with it!

@sigils.bsky.social Debt Collection series deserves a lot of love. If you enjoy my work, with sarcastic MCs that make questionable choices on the regular, you need some Matt Carver in your life.
Be on the look out for lots of posts about our awesome 2025 finalists Soul Fraud by @sigils.bsky.social over the coming days!!
Keep publishing and stop looking? Where does your stress and pain for self-pub show up these days?

The wait is over, and the cover for Sanguine Scenario is here!
This is book one in my brand new non-romance adventure fantasy featuring friendship, blood-based magic, tea, and a dog companion.
And it's coming to Kickstarter soon with a special hardcover edition!

There's a new series coming to my blog in May!
Look for the helpers:
