I oppose gerrymandering, but I voted YES today. Republicans started this by gerrymandering states they control. People are already dying from a trump presidency when he has a slim majority in Congress.
Gerrymandering is wrong, but there’s no moral high ground when it leaves people six feet under.
The “trump buyer’s remorse” is such horse excrement. These people aren’t upset he’s turning out to be a monster. They’ve always known what he is, but they were fine with it as long as he hurt the more vulnerable people they don’t like. They’re just ticked he’s now making their lives miserable, too.
How do you “show” the audience what’s happening in an audio drama? In my latest blog post, I’m revisiting the post-apocalyptic, vampire series “Impact Winter” and examining Travis Beacham’s writing to see how he and the audio effects team make it work. #ImpactWinter #Writersky
Don’t miss tonight’s Trivia Night at Buskey Cider in Scott’s Addition at 7pm. Their trivia topics will be inspired by my latest novel TO HELL AND BACK. I’ll be there with copies of all of my books for sale.

My dogs have featured in a lot of my books over the years, which is why I’ll be at the Muttminster Dog & Cat Show tomorrow. That’s had me digging through some of my old photos of Page. She was featured in my “Gidion Keep, Vampire Hunter” duology. I still get tears thinking about her. #DogsOfBluesky
Tired of this topsy-turvy weather giving me migraines.
Why is there never enough time to write? Are you doing something wrong? Bad at prioritizing what’s “important?”
I break it down by the numbers in my latest blog post on “The Indie Author 411.” #Writersky #Booksky
In the Literary World, some author offenses are especially heinous.
The dedicated call takers of Book 9-1-1 are the first line of response to those crimes.
These are their stories…

Threads post stating: BREAKING: ICE officials are reportedly worried that, if Congress requires ICE agents to unmask and wear identification, 75% of the agents will quit rather than be ostracised for the rest of their lives by family, friends, employers, and society.
This is the part that disgusts me. These monsters know what they’re doing is wrong. They’ve ALWAYS known. They took the job to do vile things without consequence, and now that they can’t hide their fuck ugly faces, they’re going to run and hide. What brave patriots they are… so very brave. #Fuck🧊

I keep thinking about something Amanda (amandasmildtakes on IG and TT) recently said. Fascism is when the bad things that have been happening to everyone else start happening to white people.
All that said, I still consider ICE (trump’s untrained thugs) a bigger threat. Fuck ICE.
The roads in #RVA are worse than they look. Do NOT go out today if you don’t need to. As a 911 dispatcher, I don’t have the luxury of staying home when the weather turns bad. This isn’t the worst I’ve driven through–yet, but it’s especially bad because it doesn’t look like it’s bad. #WinterStorm2026

There’s plenty of reason to feel like writing a story is the most pointless thing given yesterday’s events. We need to write, though. Now, more than ever.
But how do you write when the world seems on fire? Here’s what works for me. #Writersky

These ICE agents are incompetent and inhumane. We should all be screaming these same questions.
Do you know how many days it is until my new book TO HELL AND BACK comes out?
Titus Pullo knows.

Another day with a thousand-plus words written at Abi's Books & Brews. Made for a fun way to spend my Christmas Day.

Had a good day of writing at Abi’s.
Been struggling to get back into my latest WIP, Sabers & Side Quests. I’d been forced to abandon this novel for other projects, and this is the first day since I got back into the story that I managed to write more than a thousand words in one sitting. #Writersky
