I generally have tried to not use Meta in anyway and getting my account suspended twice in the last 3 days is really pissing me off especially when the first claim was I stole content from my own book...and now apparently I am impersonating myself...?

At the K-Pop Demon Hunters sing-along, the whole theater turned into a choir. My kids belted every chorus; Tried to play it cool and cried. For a few hours strangers harmonized, fear clocked out, and joy did its job. That’s the world I want, loud, kind, singing together. This is what it sounds like.

Need a character-driven escape that lingers after the last page? In The Anvil’s Whisper, a blacksmith’s calling collides with faith, fire, and found family. Readers call it “quiet but deep.” Curious? Hit my profile, link in bio.

As a straight Catholic man, I stand with my gay siblings. I’ve seen the love in their marriages, deep, committed, selfless, often as much, if not more, than many straight ones.

There is nothing Christian about preventing love between consenting adults. Love is sacred, no matter who it’s between. 🏳️‍🌈✝️

Publishing hot take: traditional publishing is really hard, and self-publishing is really hard, and everyone deserves a sandwich and a nap.

I’m looking into producing an audiobook for my debut The Anvil’s Whisper—but I’d love to explore options outside of ACX. If you’ve used platforms like Findaway, Soundwise, or anything else for distribution or production, I’d love to hear your experience.

It’s not just that the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank is happening—it’s that so many still deny it or worse, cheer it on.

You don’t have to be Palestinian to see the violence for what it is. You just have to care about humanity.

Everyone talks about falling in love for the first time, but what about the first time someone believes in your work enough to buy it? 🥹

Big thanks to @libro.fm for curating such a powerful list of Arab authors for Arab American Heritage Month. Stories like these—full of identity, resistance, love, and loss—are exactly what shaped my love of epic, character-driven narratives.

Authors have a responsibility—not just to imagine new worlds, but to take a stand in this one. You don’t need to know a trans person personally to be an ally. Our stories, our platforms, our voices must make it clear: trans people will not be erased. Not on our watch.
