We’d love you to come to our convention and not worry about childcare. Letting us know in advance you *might* be coming helps us a lot with planning.

The trouble with quadrologies being the new trilogies, is that there’s an entire book in the middle where all that’s happening is a lot of pieces being shuffled about the board, that I’ve paid for and wasted time upon.

Hello hello, I'm not quite back on socials yet, but I'd be remiss not to mention the @barnesandnoble pre-order sale. Masquerade, the third book in the Micah Grey trilogy, is eligible, and I believe Emberclaw's paperback, the sequel to Dragonfall, also applies.

It’s “Every Day” not Everyday.

Unless it’s Everyday.

Merry Xmas. Hope you all have as restful end of the year as you can.

SHADOWPLAY, the sequel to the award-winning PANTOMIME, is out now. I had a friend go in and send me some nice things people are saying about it.

The Micah Grey trilogy is a whimsical gaslamp queer fantasy with found family. Escape into the circus or step onto the magician's stage.🎪 🔮 🪄 🎩 ✨

Isn’t the time taken by doing the resolve the first time it’s actually used rather than via this method to all intents and purposes indistinguishable, and certainly at human scale?

Jim Caviezel
Met Vin Diesel
Going to the fair
Said Jim Caviezel
To Vin Diesel
“Ha! You’ve got no hair”

Quoth Vin: “Tis fair,”
My pate is bare,
But this is incidental;
For tonsure-free
I’d rather be
Than totally fucking mental”

Me too!

Thanks, I love it.
