A peek behind the curtain, and because people love data: Burkes #2 received 9 preorders. Burkes #3 got a big ol' 10.
RABID DOGS, Burkes #4, has been up for preorder for 1 day and has received 1 preorder (you da real MVP).
The goal is obvious. Set a new high-water mark. 11 or bust, bay-bee.

I know I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but I truly cherish anyone who's given my stories a look. It takes hundreds of hours to dredge a novel from the muck in my brain and knowing that only a handful of people will read Book 4 in a series sometimes tests my sanity.

Everything is a nightmare.
If you want a cathartic read about bad things happening to bad people, may I recommend a Burke story or four?

I was today years old when I realized I could just remove those obnoxious Discover and Hot feeds.
Unrelatedly, I really hope when we all get VR brain chips, my niece is patient enough to teach me how to perform the right-click equivalent.

Making video games and writing novels, but I was good at/liked math so I spent 15 years trying to be an engineer.
...I'm trying to make up for lost time.

I know that an author's work is very often 'for' themselves and I am no exception.
But every once in a while, I come across a line that is *just* for me and it's shit, but I keep it in, because it is mine. Case in point: comparing the awesome magnitude of Mother Earth to a hundred billion hot dogs.

Truly, I wonder how many of my Book 4 Countdown posts this has eaten.
To turn this off, go to Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Moderation (Advanced) at the bottom which takes you to a label account. Scroll through to see what you have been opted in for and adjust as necessary.

Absolutely. Reviews to fight the algorithm plz <3
Your friendly semi-regular reminder that the single greatest way to help your favorite authors is to rate and review the books you've read. Goodreads, Itch, Kindle, they all give you the opportunity to rate/review and it REALLY helps us get visibility!

Every high fantasy RPG party needs a fighter and a rogue.
But what if, instead of combat, they played baseball?

I've got 3 bloody, queer urban fantasy novels locked and loaded if you're not squeamish about a little dismemberment and enjoy close sibling vibes between your protagonists.

Fuck yes. I did something similar when Burkes #1 came out. I can't remember the final counts and I didn't make a graphic, but I was in the 100s for I think at least 3 separate 4-letter words?
OOOOO! OOOO! I made a shitty ad for this back when Woodpusher was up for preorder!
