One of my favorite show of the 2000s and a big influence on me in general as well as the Geekomancy series in specific.

I bought "Geekomancy" after seeing this post and like it so far! (Who could resist "Clerks meets Buffy"?)

My profile always has what I'm currently reading, and I'd love to make that a Bluesky thing.

The Ree Reyes Geekomancy series is still on sale for a limited time.

"Geekomancy is a glorious blender of genres, like a sweet candy shell filled with pop culture and high heroism. Absolutely stellar." - Seanan McGuire, NYT-bestselling author of the October Daye and Wayward Children series Get Geekomancy for $4.99 in ebook

My fiction is genre-bending action adventure featuring found families and inclusive casts. I'm best known for the Ree Reyes Geekomancy series, an urban fantasy series where fandom is a magic system.

For the last year, I've been working as a freelance designer on the forthcoming rpg Daggerheart.

BEHOLD. THE DREAD GRIMOIRE ITSELF, THE FURBINOMICON. #furby #oddbodyfurby #furbycommunity #geekomancy #popculturemagic

Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Clerks in GEEKOMANCY, where an underemployed barista-slash-comic shop clerk enters unlocks the power of fandom and makes allies from the weird magical subcultures of her city. Together they try to stop a wave of tragic deaths: bookshop.org/p/books/geek... (Book 1 of 4)

New introduction:

I write science fiction and fantasy as Michael R. Underwood (Genrenauts, Geekomancy, etc.) do game design as Mike Underwood (currently: Daggerheart), and I'm developing a new actual play show.

Previously, I was a cohost of @speculate.bsky.social and @skiffyandfanty.bsky.social.

Benefits of a hometown visit include seeing my books in-stock at Morgenstern's. Coincidentally, they now have signed copies of GEEKOMANCY and CELEBROMANCY. ;)

Geekomancy is Clerks meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Genrenauts is Leverage by way of TV Tropes.

Annihilation Aria is The Mummy (1999) meets Guardians of the Galaxy.

Born to the Blade is Babylon 5 as fantasy plus some Avatar: the Last Airbender.

I throughly enjoyed Geekomancy when I listened to it a few years ago

Ree Reyes’s life as an underemployed barista is shattered when she discovers that she is a geekomancer – able to user her love of movies and comics and more to channel the skills and powers of the characters and worlds she treasures.

I suppose I can start posting my occult blog content up here. Do we do hashtags on here? #occult #occultblogger #witchcraft #witchcraftblogger #geekomancy #geekomancyblogger #magic #magicblogger #clowcards #clowsorcery

I just want to point out that Mike's books are remarkably clever and very fun.

I read the first Geekomancy book before we were friends, and that books tells you so much about Mike's creative brain (it's delightful).

Genrenauts is equally brilliant work.

Also: Mike's TTRPG work is top notch.

Geekomancy is my debut, reissued a couple of years ago with a new cover and minor updates (removing references to the TERF series, etc.). It's followed by Celebromancy and Hexomancy, as well as the novella Attack the Geek (set between Celebro and Hexo). And Hexomancy has a strong, conclusive end.
