Yeah, this. I'm a senior Cyber Security consultant and about 10 years off retirement. At my age and pay grade, a promotion is an opportunity to do 50% more work for maybe 10% (if I'm lucky) more money.
Fuck off.
Fuck off.

This will give you a laugh: me and my son meeting Eeyore at Disneyworld in maybe 1998. And yes, my roots did need doing 😂

Huh, I wonder when I got that PhD I don't have? Also that's a stupid price to ask for a book that's still in print. Got to love the Internet...

For anyone in the UK (or possibly just anyone not in the US,), all my War For The Rose Throne books are now available for free as ebooks on Amazon if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
It's like Netflix for books: You read for free, I still get paid. Win win.

Horseshit. You don't have to go to college for either. I didn't, and I have seven trade published novels out and an eighth under contract.
Go if you want and can afford to, sure, but don't ever let anyone tell you that you *have* to. You don't.
Don't listen to these elitist idiots.

Quasi-Elizabethan political crime fantasy. Think The Godfather with swords and a dash of magic.

Absolutely crying laughing reading this year's 27B/6 book, How To Talk To Girls And Lizards. If you've ever read a comedian and just thought "Dude, the fuck is wrong with you?" but still laughed, this guy is for you. If I have a seat pre-booked in Hell, David Thorne has the executive box.
