Sorry I missed Bar Con. Daughter got sick.

#DragonCon2025 #WritersOfTheFuture

Going to DragonCon again. Second floor, booth 2200. Wont be selling my books unfortunately (too heavy for luggage), but you can still find me there and maybe at barcon later.

I sold and signed books at WorldCon!

#WorldCon #WorldConSeattle #WorldCon2025

My First WorldCon! Yesterday was a bust - as I had obligations and ended up missing a panel and a table talk - SORRY!!! - but showed up early today and will be hanging out and signing the entire time. Find me and say, “Hi.”

Join me and others on "The Author's Quill" podcast today, Saturday, August 9th! #AuthorsQuill #sff #scifinovels #scifibooks #fantasynovels #fantasybooks

I equate all the creative arts with each other. Especially the industries. For instance, both publishing and music have their overseers and gatekeepers. And creatives have to decide who they want to be? Someone following “the formula” to be trendy and forgotten? I would rather be Metallica.

I had hoped to do something special at San Diego Comic Con for my novel. But we will not be going to San Diego this year. So please let your friends know this new author Lazarus Black has some cool books on Amazon. And Brandon Sanderson and Robert J Sawyer think he deserved a big shiny trophy. 🐉

Well well - what is this? I'm being bundled with legendary authors Robert J Sawyer, Kevein J Anderson, SM Stirling, Nancy Kress, and Jody Lynn Nye? YES! #SciFiBooks #ScienceFictionBooks #FantasyBooks #UrbanFantasyBooks #BookBundles #BundledBooks

Its funny - but in-person I can talk and teach forever about my passions. In a comment, I can ramble knowledgebly. In a video, I can entertain and keep someone's attention. And yet, I'm not comfortable in short form engagement. I don't know what to say or how much. Sound bites are propaganda.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!

And dont read my novel because it has great LGBTQ+ characters and families in it. Read it for a chance to win backstage passes with me at Walgreens!

(per my lawyer: thats a joke)

The Sixth Sense was a the prequel to The Frighteners. Tell me I'm wrong.

It looks like my novel is going to be bundled by a publisher with no less than 3 of the most world famous living best-selling authors. (So not because they are out of copyright.) There is always a chance this could change (in many ways), but the opportunity is exciting!

Dragons, hunters, lovers, monsters, AI, wizards, fairies, assassins, psychics, scientists, explorers, dying gods, Oh my! This short fiction anthology has it all, including the First Place-Winning story 'Psychic Poker'.

Apparently I am no longer allowed to vote. @everyone

Just returned from the Writers of the Future award ceremony where I am one of the judges and presenters. This years winners were amazing and driven and took both the workshops and after hours opportunities with passion. I look forward to saying "I knew them when". With me is author S.M. Sterling.

Really tired of being overqualified for jobs.

i give up who I wanted to be. now to find peace embracing who I need to be.
