To celebrate the one-month anniversary of The Callicles Club, here's a special "Author's Neuroses" edition, which includes notes regarding my process, character secrets, and other titbits. A fun, if rare, glance behind the curtain, but don't get used to it! Enjoy! 💙🖤💛 t-larc.com/the-callicle...

Down to our last five copies of Lone Sole. Thank you so much to everyone that ordered one! 💙🖤💛 If you're still interested in picking up a limited signed and numbered copy, they're available on the website until they aren't. A second run would be wonderful, but seems increasingly less likely!

Really hope you folks are enjoying the new story! Do you think you'd benefit from some kind of review or comment section on the website? I don't love that there isn't some kind of community hub to discuss all things T-LARC, but all the existing platforms end up proving why they can't be trusted.

Hey folks, been a minute! So I DEFINITELY don't have a project coming out soon that I've been working on since before Lone Sole dropped. An unrelated question - in short form fiction, what format do you prefer? Pretty but static PDFs, or reflowable, but occasionally temperamental files like EPUB?

I've never really been much of a reader, but T's content always makes me eager to learn more about the amazing world of Terra Fauna. Thanks @t-larc.bsky.social for sharing it with us and allowing me to enjoy reading once again after so long. Take care Shepherd's Beard, and look forward to Small Ray!

Hitting the dreaded 3-0 pretty soon, and I'd like y'all to be honest with me... Am I too old for this? I've heard on the grapevine that once you hit a certain age, you have to hang up your hat, stop having fun and only talk about tax brackets and mortgages. 🤔

You know, I think I've finally realised what my latent obsession with film trailers is about. Unlike films, which are too long, winding and multi-faceted to ever be called perfect, I truly believe there's such a thing as a "perfect trailer", from the first frame to the last!

It snowed! I know it's literally worse for everybody when it won't settle, and the ice that forms makes it a nightmare to get around, and some people just can't stand the cold, but sometimes, you've got to make the most of the little things. It was beautiful! My little fox heart was leaping! 💙🖤💛

Thank god it's over! Have y'all got any resolutions for 2026? I'd love to hear them! I don't usually make a hard-and-fast list, but I'd like to hone my writing until it's so sharp that a suspiciously wealthy client buys my services outright. You never know! (Original art by @theprwolf.bsky.social)

T-LARC, a blue cartoon fox, celebrates the new year by blowing a party blower, adorned with an audacious pair of commemorative 2026-themed glasses. Blue, red and yellow fireworks are going off in the background, with "NEW YEAR" written underneath them. (Original artwork by PR Wolf.)

Merry Christmas everyone! Wow, what a wild year! Thank you for helping me achieve a BIG personal milestone. I would have never made it to Volume Two of SHI without you! Wishing you all happiness, safety and warmth wherever you are in the world. Toot, toot! (Original art by @theprwolf.bsky.social)

"X-MAS" is written alongside the party blower.

Found myself a festive gig working nights! It's almost over now, but man has it been a wild ride. Nothing can prepare you for retail work in the lead-up to Christmas. I honestly think it should be mandatory growing up. Just 1 month. The nation's approach to customer service would change overnight.

What's up, everybody? I've just been enjoying the #NotDeathOfCinema during my large screen Dolby Atmos presentation of Zootropolis 2. For the low, low price of 8 Britannian pounds, I got the entire place to myself. Very surreal seeing all those empty seats. The movie deserved more!

A few folks have experienced trouble with their packages, so hang on in there! Issuing replacements and following up on cases as we speak. My aim is to make sure everyone that ordered a signed copy of Lone Sole before Christmas can read it before Christmas! 💙🖤💛

How is one supposed to feel when one's suspicions regarding the exploitative, life-guzzling, capital-addicted foundations of modern democracy are not only met, but far, far outpaced? The Aztecs would balk. There's not enough water and good will in the world to wash the temple's slick stones clean.

Wanna know my biggest regret for the Lone Sole roll-out? No fun, silly bonus things in the package. Sure, there's an art card, but I wanted to have stickers, mini ARG mysteries and so on. Sadly, I didn't want to tempt fate by having to declare 50 items on the customs form, but maybe next time...

Convincing you to read my novel with the first sentence. Share yours if you want. Okay, you've got me. I love doing these things! It's fascinating to see whether a piece of writing begins with a joke, a bombshell, a piece of intrigue, or just something beautiful that sets the tone!

Chapter ?: ???

The first thing he felt was surprise. Surprise at the lack of pain, and surprise at the serene sense of stillness, certainly, but most of all, Teal was surprised by the fact that he could still feel anything at all.
That was a nice surprise.
The next thing he felt was his chest expanding outward, as his body worked...

Convincing you to read my novel with the first sentence. Share yours if you want. (Here's the opening of "Wolf of Withervale," but nothing beats John's incredible first line there)

Just a fun little video that I hope any writers out there can relate to! The experience of writing a book is a fascinating one. It builds character, strengths your skills, yada yada yada, but sometimes, it just feels SO GOOD to finally be finished! You could almost... dance! 😋

Alrighty, it's been a month since Lone Sole was released. I feel it's been long enough to share this amazing fan painting by @theprwolf.bsky.social! (Don't worry, it's vague enough that I don't believe it'll constitute a spoiler for anyone who hasn't read the book. Isn't it gorgeous?!)

A feudal village stands under a starry, moonlit night. Above all, a red, nine-tiered tower protrudes, visited by two indistinct figures following the path to its door.
