At Decatur Book Festival yesterday. Great time. Met so many cool people.

The Rave audiobook is now available on a bunch of platforms, including the ones pictured. You deserve only the Very Best in High Quality Audio Entertainment, so feast your ears on this delightful masterpiece narrated by the fantastic Erika Ventura and powerfully produced by The Other Stories crew.

I've been sitting on this for quite a while, anxious to share but knowing the wait would be worth it. Now that #TheRuin (last book in the #AelfraverTrilogy ) is nearing completion, I can finally show you all the truly spectacular illustration done by the incredibly talented @kalmahul.bsky.social !

On April 29, 2025, I will have had this meme on my phone for 5 years. 5 whole years.

Hi! I’m Julian, an indie author who writes far-future arcanepunk fantasy. Anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist to the core. It’s also pro-empathy, humanitarian, environmentalist, and defiantly hopeful. If any of that’s your vibe, you’ll love my books.

I believe I followed 6 author accounts and commented "thanks for giving a shout out to these authors." Meanwhile, you got white supremacists, misogynists, scam accounts, bots, and other garbage galore running amok on there. Meta, as excellent as ever. Maybe I'll just not go back.

This seemed a fitting 1st entry on @bsky.app.

My books are humanist, militantly pro-decency. Especially the #TheAelfraverSeries. If you like arcanepunk, hopepunk, and similar -- and you despise authoritarianism -- you're more than welcome here. #TheRebel #IfYoureReadingThisYouAreTheResistance
