I'm at a different location for work all this week and someone here has the war song of the Brunnen G as their ring tone. I desperately want to find who it is.

He does! It took him leaving a fancy dress party on a space station through an airlock, walking over the surface of said station without a space suit, and complicated orbital mechanics, but the vampire now has a gun! #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #BookSky

In the world of magic, memories can become tools, weapons, even battlefields. It takes a keen, disciplined mind to keep reality straight from remembrance.

I dodge this in my portal fantasy by having using magic to translate the local language into English for the main character! Cheap shortcut!
Being a fantasy writer is typing "they extended an olive branch" and then going "shit, do they even have olives in this world?"

Do you all remember the big hopepunk debate? One of the definitions was "no conflict," which my books definitely have. There's a scene where a vampire rips another vampire's head off! #WritingCommunity #BookSky #hopepunk

A lot of people don't understand Daylight Savings Time. It's simple. Since we no longer sacrifice people to the sun, we must instead spread the loss out. Sacrificing an hour of time across hundreds of millions of people adds up, and keeps the sun god appeased.

Friendly reminder, timely for Halloween night! You DO NOT need to stick a stake in the heart of a vampire to kill one. You need a cowboy with a big knife!

To celebrate Halloween, I wrote a FREE (not so) short story! My vampire Stephen has to go under cover at a Halloween costume party to infiltrate a cult. I wonder what he wore? #bookstagram #WritingCommunity www.patreon.com/posts/no-vam...

Yup. He doesn't want to be, he just wants to relax and be a scholar, but there is too much going on in the galaxy to let him rest on his laurels. He won't stop doing what needs to be done, on either side of the grave.

Stephen's greatest fear is the ennui of eternity wearing him down. All the joy and fun he can scratch out of unlife becoming dull and faded, leaving him listless as he drifts through a universe he can no longer care about.

In the 2nd book, Stephen has passed on the curse of vampirism to a good man who died doing the right thing. He stood against the horrors of the dark and it cost him his life. Stephen, desperate, angry, and a bit mad, turned him. Can he be forgiven?

Stephen would be delighted. He's used to being the scariest thing in the house, unless his wife is there, so it would be a great novelty for him.
