Scams predating on authors just reached a new low. Latest scammer got my phone number somehow and sent me this:
"Hi Russell! Feature your book on CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, CW, AP & 200+ sites for just $99 and sell more. Reply YES to connect, STOP to opt out."

readers often ask 'whats the best way to support an author?' and while there are MANY ways to do this, the most powerful is clear: PREORDER THE AUTHORS BOOK. i will go into why, but first please consider taking the briefest moment to preorder FABULOUS BODIES: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

It’s likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least

$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.

The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you don’t got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.

The cover for ALL IN by Russell Isler, showing a shadowy figure in a suit, who might be a vampire, standing with a woman in a leather jacket from whose hand rises a twist of magical blue flame. Cover design by James T. Egan of Bookfly Design.

The cover for MAGICAL GIRL BLUES by Russell Isler, showing a teen girl in a grey hoodie standing on the moonlit main street of a small town. Motes of magical light swirl about her outstretched hand. Behind here, another teen girl appears to fade, ghost-like, into the night.

The cover for CUT TO THE QUICK by Russell Isler. The same, well-dressed shadowy figure from ALL IN stands silhouetted, along with a flock of bats, before the full moon. He stands on a street hung with paper lanterns. Cover design by James T. Egan of Bookfly Design.

Hello new followers!

I’m Russ. I write Urban Fantasy. If you like Vampires, Las Vegas, and Magical Girls, then you’re probably in the right place. My newest, CUT TO THE QUICK, is coming in March. I occasionally post about the films, books and art that I love.

I can’t cope with the world right now so I’m going to complain about something more prosaic.

Look, I gotta deal with summer all summer long. If I gotta do summer in the winter too, I just don’t wanna.
