Wow, I learn lessons everyday from our President.
I always thought Russia invading Ukraine was Russia’s fault. But today I learned that It was somehow Ukraine’s fault. Hmmm…

I believe that Brightwash has enough fans to fund (and I love all of you SO much!!!) but the challenge has been spreading the word as I struggle to rebuild my platform.
I know everything is nuts right now, but this book saved me. It’s a love letter to community and how we can save each other.

All jokes aside, this project is a week away from its planned launch date. I was supposed to do a marketing push last weekend but the snowstorm + a Saturday night visit to the ER (everyone is fine, context below) means I’m behind 🥲 Humbly requesting boosts 🙏

I’ll be jumping on tonight as a very important beta tester for a new Elden Ring game called Night Reign. I was specifically chosen for my poor skills and irritability, representing about 60% of the population. I’ll be on at 10 pm EST if anyone wants to join. I haven’t decided on which character yet.

Can we have different Illuminati and alien lizard people secretly controlling the world, please? The current lot are so bad at this you’d think they didn’t exist.

A publisher recently said my short story “The Glutton of Borgas Drift” reminded him of “A Pail of Air” by Fritz Leiber.
Of course I had to buy it and read it.
I’ll report back with my thoughts!

I usually try to avoid posting political things, but Trump using the DC plane collosion to further an anti-DEI agenda is beyond despicable.
Do we know the incident was caused by an unqualified minority? A person with schizophrenia?
Nat’l tragedies are a time to unite, not divide and politicize.

HELLO HANDSOME!
When it was time to get some new portrait art for the LEGACY OF THE BRIGHTWASH special edition, I immediately knew which artist I hoped to work with: @zoebadini.bsky.social did an amazing job on the Alchemy of Sorrow cover (back in the day, how has it been so long since AoS?)

A fun way to say good morning is in Latin. “Salve” (with the emphasis on the 1st syllable) feels like you should be stabbing someone while saying it.

5 out of 5 stars to Frolic on the Amaranthyn by Chase A. Folmar
A sword and sorcery Bonnie and Clyde with prose reminiscent of Clark Ashton Smith a good dash of weird horror makes for a perfect short adventure. I really do hope for more from this author.
