Speaking of 10 years of Grimluk, you can read my reflections on Patreon today or my website tomorrow. One of the big things I decided to do, with all the mental hurdles, is ask that my readers help me celebrate A Demon in the Desert. If you ever read and enjoyed it, please share!

Huge congrats to @ashearmstrong.bsky.social for ten years of Grimluk! I can’t believe it’s been that long already…

Little writing update: Wizards of Behemoth is with some trusted readers. Expecting good notes soon.
I’ve completely outlined the sequel, Scavengers of the Dragon Rift. And I’ve officially started working on the third Jack Bloodfist novel.
Plan is to have all 3 finished then do a rapid release.

Recently finished the first draft of the next Arthur and Miki book. My partner read it in one sitting and immediately demanded the sequel. I’m taking that to mean it’s good.

On a handful of panels at LTUE next week. A couple I’m legitimately excited for. It’s nice to be able to talk the craft and business with people that actually want to hear about it, vs everyone I normally force to listen to me.

Yesterday was my regular TTRPG group’s first session after a 3 month break. I ran Mausritter and had the party explore their characters’ home base as mice. Was really fun showing them their impact on the world like that.

Been thinking about some of my favorite Pratchett quotes. Specifically some about Anger. Feeling it lately... Currently writing the 6th book in my Heroes of Summervale series. A series I fully outlined 7 or 8 years ago... And the timing of this one is something. Just hit a scene that drove it home.

Took my books off Kindle Unlimited a few months ago so I could make them available in more stores, and was pleasantly surprised this morning to find that for the first time my non-Amazon sales were higher than my Amazon numbers. So, thanks, whoever did that. Hope the trend continues.

Just got up from one the best writing sessions I’ve had in a while. About 7,500 words, give or take. Last couple of months(years, honestly) have been hard. But feels like something snapped back into place today.
