Will’s book comes out in April and it is beautiful. As it’s our first book of strictly flash fiction we are offering a flash sale. Code AFTERLASTCALL gets 50% off anything in our store today only (8/1/26). Great day to preorder Will’s book but the code will also work on all of our other titles!

Fun fact: You can pre-order my book, After Last Call, using this link: malarkeybooks.com/store/afterl... 💙 youtu.be/aDTwO0TlwOU?...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Guys... please, stay alive for the books you haven't read, the anime you haven't finished, and the stray cats you haven't petted yet. Stay alive for the smell of rain, your morning coffee, the songs that will become your new favorites, and the versions of yourself you haven't met yet

I actually wrote for the first time in months yesterday. Just a spontaneous burst of 1,200 words on the novel in progress. A scene that I started telling myself in my head when I thought, “Wait, I could just write this down.” And then there my characters were, just as alive and present as ever.
