NEW TATTOO WHO DIS 🥹
It’s no secret that I’m feral over Hozier’s music.
It felt inevitable to put his words on the skin that is becoming a trophy case for my publishing. His words are a constant reminder that we, as artists, have power and a voice. We, as artists, can stand for what we believe in.

In the spirit of trying to get back in the habit of marketing my books, here’s a reminder that I set up a Patreon account! I’ve been sharing my jazz-era log driver with a psychotropic magic system “short” story over there, and Part 3 just went live!

Me and my comfort book:
Day 2 of posting every day is a bit less inane, ‘cause it’s a perfect day for cafe vibing and writing. This short story is way overdue but I am truly blessed to be around people who were SUPER patient with me while I dug myself out of the deep dark rut I’ve been in (that’s you @zbsteele.bsky.social)

Back when Brightwash was first published, my AWESOME readers started a little joke of posting their copies along with their drink of choice. Do you remember BrightwashAndBooze? I still have the photos!
Now it’s time for a new one, with my awesome Clydeside flask from when I visited Glasgow 😍

In honour of Father’s Day, I’m posting my favourite book dad 🤭
Yes, it’s my book, but you know what? He deserves the spotlight! It’s easier to talk about him than it is to talk about myself, after all!
