Day One of "until the shutdown ends, government employees work for free." 🤬🙄

Heavy sigh...
Today will be interesting.
Either we will go to work as usual tomorrow morning, or we'll be in for another lengthy government shutdown.
So, prepare to be sick of me pushing books and other shenanigans because if this happens, I'll have a LOT of time on my hands.
Happy Tuesday? 🤷🏾♂️

Hey #Booksy #Blackbooksky #SciFi-Fantasy-SpecFic
I've been gone for a minute, but I've been busy, promise. 😀
So, there's been a slight adjustment to the cover art for Sageborn, but it's a good one 🙂
I ordered a physical proof of the hardcover, and I can't WAIT to see how it turned out!

Someone dropped this in my feed, and I'm inclined to agree in principle, even with the generalization being thrown in for good measure...
What say you?
For me, there does seem to be a "brand" of masculinity that gets pushed and praised more than others.
However, masculinity is not monolithic.

Some days are better than others, but I've done my best to live to this motto...
I write in a lot of different genres, and in each of them, I'm an avid reader.
But I'm always true to who I am as a writer and a creative. There's a method to my madness, always.
Stay tuned, I've got more coming.

What goes on in the Palace, stays in the Palace...

"Take the red pill, and you'll stay in my Underworld, and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

This is your yearly reminder that if you've ever called me Daddy, or even thought it while in my presence, you owe me a Father's Day gift 🤣🤣🤣
I enjoy my cigars and bourbon, but most of y'all know that, but I'll also appreciate purchases of my books for a bookish friend too
That is all.
