The Iconoclasts books by @mikeshel.bsky.social have been among my favorite books for a long time. Now West of the World joins them in their hallowed position. Gritty, intricate, dark, and totally unique - I wholeheartedly recommend it. mybook.to/cjm1

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate! I want to make an announcement: after five fallow years, the words are truly flowing again, and I’m hopeful that the first book of a new trilogy will be available by summer of 2026.

Dungeons & Dragon Dating by Virginia McClain This was a fun one, for all there were a lot of serious topics discussed. But Lyra and Kiara had a strong connection, and they were both clearly competent enough to find a way through. I really enjoyed the puma familiar. 🪐📚💙 #specfic #sff 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫 📚 /1

Book Cover for Dungeons & Dragon Dating by Virginia McClain This cover is illustrated, with images surrounding the title. The outer frame is twisting vines, with a small coffee cup above the words. Below the title is a cartoonish dragon with oversized eyes, drawn in outline. A playing card is set to one side of the title. It's whimsical, and a bit silly.

Having offended my dear, close friend Mr Scalzi with my last post, I wish to inform all that we are indeed lifelong friends with a deep, intimate, brotherly bond. I pray this is enough for him to lift his threats of violence.

ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Hey folks, I finally have some new art to share! I've worked once again with the phenomenal @mikeshel.bsky.social, this time on the deluxe version of Sin Eater. Here's an interior illustration of the Videna, a powerful priest of Pember, and the accompanying bookmark. Link to the KS in comments.

The Videna sits regally upon a throne of black marble. She is a pale, slender woman standing out against the darkened room. She wears a diaphanous robe and golden, toad shaped mask, its tongue protruding down. Lit candles are strewn across the throne and stairs, long drippings of candle wax creeping down. Before her stands a man, deformed and hunched over wearing a heavy, red clay mask. He holds a black feathered quill to a large open tome.
