I said on a panel at Gen Con that my storytelling is driven by figuring out what I haven't seen before and how I can make something new. So, for example, this book is my take on WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS but with vampires from Hindu and Buddhist folklore, as well as some of my own creations. π§π½ββοΈ #GCWS

I got back late last night from Gen Con, where I was on many panels as part of the Writers Symposium, and am so very tired, but I met and reconnected with so many wonderful people and plan to shout them out later. For now, rest. #GCWS
Flying home today post #gencon.
The Writer's Symposium #gcws was amazing and busy. Lots of great energy, inquisitive minds, and cool people.
Shout outs to @booksofm.com, @shvetathakrar.com, @arleysorg.bsky.social, @ginikoch.bsky.social, @erikscottdebie.bsky.social

Currently grooving to a live DJ in the lobby with The Husband. It's been a good convention. #GenCon2025 #gcws
I met @larkmorganlu.bsky.social on several panels at #GCWS, and my gosh, she's amazing. She so engaging and always has such an interesting POV.
Shout-out to folks at #GenCon and #GCWS! Really wish I was there, but sadly this Canadian is staying local.
GCWS has a phenomenal program if you're interested in writing / game design. And make sure to visit @storyenginedeck.bsky.social @greenroninpub.bsky.social & @gilarpgs.bsky.social!
Up and ready to tackle day 2 of #gencon! I've got a Glitter Hearts game then a packed house of #gcws programming!
Gen Con is amazing, exhausting, and exactly what I needed. Old friends and new. My peers are awesome in all senses of the word. #GCWS is so good this year. Kudos to @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social @ginikoch.bsky.social and everyone else behind the scenes. It's one of the best run events here.
