Anyone looking for a pleasant escape from *waves around* all this, do yourself a favor and fire up episode one of Wonder Man. I love it. Yahya Abdul-Mateen is great as the lead, and Ben Kingsley brings a spot-on performance as Trevor Slattery. The two work great together as foils. #wonderman
The folks at @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social invited me to chat about my dragon-laden epic fantasy series, The Book of the Holt. The Dragons of Deepwood Fen & A God of Countless Guises are out now. The final installment, A Curse of Crown and Root, is out next year!

Absolutely!
Here's a wonderful list of secondary world fantasies set largely in a single city. Included (a humble thank you to Caylah Coffeen) in the list is Twelve Kings in Sharakhai. #writesky 📚🪐

I continue to be stunned, on my third rewatch, at what a good show The Expanse is. From writing to casting to acting to sfx to musical score to cinematography to lighting… It’s all just so, so good. #theexpanse

Started laying down the bones of a book on writing I’ve been planning for some time now. Very early stages, but it feels good to have taken the first step or two. #writesky

And, yay, I have an entirely new book, THE WELL OF ANCIENTS, written and waiting for publication after this. So close to clearing my slate for my seekrit project, a book on writing. So much to do, but it's good to be busy!
I'm nearing the end of The Book of the Holt's final installment, tentatively titled A CURSE OF CROWN AND ROOT. Only two short chapters left to write. I'm aiming for a Friday finish, just in time for the weekend. So glad to have this almost done.
Just hit 100k on the final installment of The Book of the Holt, tentatively titled A Curst of Crown and Root. It's been a long road getting to this point. The end's in sight, though. I'm guessing it'll clock in at around 130k or so. A svelte (for epic fantasy) final novel. Onward!
Came across this randomly on YouTube as a video cover. No artist attribution and reverse image searches aren't working. Any idea who the artist is?

No matter how hard I try, I can never remember if I typed whisky or whiskey in my manuscripts.
I’m detoxing after binge watching The Pitt. They did something really special with that show. It’s going to stick with me for a long time. Highly recommended.
