Churlish. Reader of books. Drinker of scotches.
My compliments to @johnfrench.bsky.social on his new novel, “Dropsite Massacre”.

He has taken one of the most infamous events of the Horus Heresy and crafted a narrative that feels simultaneously fresh, compelling, nuanced, and utterly devastating!

Delightful stuff, and well worth a read!

Carson is a paragon of excellence and a wealth of thoroughly-vetted writing knowledge. Do consider him for all of your writing needs!

(Portraits of Decay out now)
I’ll cut to the chase: just like all your favorite authors, I’m offering editing and writing coach services. So yeah, pitch incoming!

But first I wanted to talk a bit about my writing journey and WHY these services can help. (THREAD)

@talkscaredpod.bsky.social sorry for the dumb question, but is the upcoming IFC dog-horror film “Good Boy” a coincidence or have you sneakily secured a film-option for your upcoming book?

Love the podcast, and I can’t wait for the next episode and the new book.

I am SO EXCITED “The Silent King”! @guyhaley.bsky.social is a paragon of excellence and I couldn’t be happier that he’s back to close out the Dawn of Fire series.

@carsonwinter.bsky.social is a genuinely kind human with a seemingly bottomless desire to help and inspire other writers.

Also, will send you feet pics if you ask.*

*not really**

**yes really
It's @carsonwinter.bsky.social 's birthday today. No better way to celebrate then to make him super uncomfortable with genuine praise and love. Quote reply this or comment below what you love about that cretin.

@nickkyme.bsky.social just finished this. The sequence in the tunnels was so claustrophobic that I couldn’t breathe. Well done, sir!

I recently found had more time on my hands than I had planned. I'm an ESL teacher and many students were on vacation.
Don't get me wrong, time is a wonderful thing to have as a writer, but as the saying goes, time is money.
I'd appreciate some likes and reposts to help me out. 🧵

I’ve been vegan for a month as of today!

Your soliloquy about animal rights/welfare at the end of your Benjamin Lay videos and your recent animal rights activism gave me the final push I needed to make the change.

Thank you!
