My book, Frostbite and Fire, is on sale today through Memorial day for 2.99 everywhere ebooks are sold. A cyberpunk thriller begins when the body of a burned man goes missing from the morgue. Link in bio.

2nd draft of Houses of Bone and Smoke book 3 is done. /twitch #booksky
This is entirely too accurate and I doubt Marvel would ever be brave enough.
A true X-Men adaptation requires a team made up of entirely different accents that the audience just barely keeps up with.
75% done with rewrites of book 3 of Houses of Bone and Smoke. Pretty sure my characters are going to file a complaint somewhere. These conditions are pretty intolerable.
Entangled, book 1 of my urban fantasy series Stitch Witches, a series about witches who do magic with knitting, is on sale today until March 5th for .99 cents on all major ebook retailers. #booksky
Huh, turns out you can't have private UNIDENTIFIED security assault and kidnap people because you don't like what they say at city hall Weird.
Coeur d’Alene prosecutors dismiss citation against woman dragged from town hall, city revokes security company’s business license
City prosecutors will dismiss a misdemeanor battery citation issued to the Post Falls woman who plainclothes private security guards dragged out of a legislative town hall Saturday and the city of Coe...

1200 words on Houses of Bone and Smoke book 3. Getting close to the home stretch. #booksky
Captain America: Brave New World was fun. Not the best Marvel film I've ever seen. Certainly not the worst. It introduced some compelling possibilities for the future of the MCU. I look forward to what's coming.
Currently reading Black in White by JC Andrijeski. Fantastic book and her character and scene descriptions are vibrant. Everything just jumps off the page. Quality read. A few years older, but really enjoyable. #booksky
I just saw a book reviewer say they will not give a book a 5 star rating unless it's written in 1st person because they don't consider it engaging enough. I'm sorry, what? I get we all have our preferences, but I can't take someone who says that seriously. #booksky
Hey, Canadian readers, Kobo is a Canadian owned company and has a competitor to KU called Kobo Plus. There aren't as many authors in the program as KU owns the glut of the market, but something to think about. 😉 #booksky
Tiktok: You should post photos Me: /posts a slideshow about my books Tiktok: eww, not like that. #booksky
Lenore Zahn says she's finished recording her lines for season 2 of X-men '97. I look forward to the soul-crushing devastation.
I have made it to the halfway point of rewrites on book 3. I must be getting to the swampy middle, because it's starting to feel like a dumpster fire again.
1400 words on book 3 today. Making progress. #booksky
I was writing while listening to Eminem the other day and found I was typing in cadence to the music. Anybody else do this? #booksky
Managed to get rid of co-pilot. If you go into your account portal on Microsoft, manage subscription, cancel, you MAY have an option to switch to Microsoft 355 Family Classic. This is the same price as it used to be with NO CO-PILOT. Looks like it won't go away until my subscription renews though.
Somewhere, in an alternate timeline, science fiction became the hot book genre. #booksky
TikTok took it down, so let’s share the shit out of this reading list. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgainIsNow #BookSky #StateMediaCensorship
So this is the tag line from my latest book release. Too on the nose? In the ruins of the United States, the family of a billionaire tech mogul is being hunted by an ancient order of assassins. #booksky
On today's selection of Deep Space 9, Miles O'Brien suffers.
Electric Callboy's new single "Elevator Operator" is a hilarious banger. Check out the music video if you haven't yet. Love a metal band with a sense of humor.
I'm about a third of the way through rewrites for book 3 of Houses of Bone and Smoke. I really like the direction this is going. #booksky
This could be something.
Small little rebellious thoughts for a Thursday afternoon. <giggles> Let's blow up the Death Star using Substack. Imagine if we could get Substack to get on board... they'd have everything to gain. www.whatisthisfuckery.co/p/how-substa...
What if you add magic to cyberpunk? That's Frostbite and Fire. This science fantasy novel follows Dr. Evelyn Stirling as she investigates the death of a street thug, delivering surprises with every chapter. Think Ghost in the Shell, but with a twist that'll keep you guessing. #booksky
1/2 I'm reading through Alchemy of Souls by @thomaskcarpenter.bsky.social, which is book 3 in the Hundred Halls series. I'm pretty happy with it because he avoided an obnoxious trope I see way too often. The protagonist is tricked into doing something terrible and no one believes her, #booksky
It's Tuesday, which means THE TEETH OF DAWN comes out in a week. I wrote this book for a reason. It has parallels to events happening now. One of the primary themes centers around how resistance can take many shapes, and many of those shapes can be effective, but not without organization.
Forget one true pairing. I may regret asking this, but who's your one nightmare pairing? Me? Odo and Kira in Deep Space Nine.
