All three Wyrdverse novels: LIESMITH, STORMBRINGER, and BAD MEME. The covers are colorful abstracts that make a gradient across the three. Each is decorated by a different scrawled, black glyph.
Woo. It only took me a decade but I finally got me my physical print proof for Bad Meme.
Also extremely annoyed that this (or something very like it) has become the algogen slop font in recent years because I was here first damnit!!! 𐔌՞￣ヘ￣՞𐦯

Haven’t been on here in forever, but just wanted to say that I’m still publishing, still writing and the best way to find out more is to sign up for my newsletter or check over on my website every Saturday for the #WeeklyAuthorUpdate besides writing, creating art for the books and for commissions, chronic illness flares and chronic pain rule my life. It sucks and it’s only getting worse as I get older. It is what it is.

Emo Night (The Boy’s in the Band)
Yet again, writing silly fanfic of my own novels rather than actually finishing said novels. This time set in some nebulous post-book time period. Mostly just fluff. With some porn. And also the Red Maw of Ruin attempting to teach Mac Greek.

A’ight. Apparently Patreon has deprecated their shop — because heaven forfend a tech company let us have anything I guess — so Bad Meme epub announcement post scheduled for 1 October, which was arbitrarily the publishing date I decided on when I had to fill that information in on Bowker/Ingram.

Celebrating the eleven () year anniversary of Stormbringer by finally formatting Bad Meme for print . . .
(And also getting my flu and Covid shots updated though that’s not technically related.)
(Actually I guess they are technically related because both “I should actually print this book so I can sell it next time we do a market table” and “I really really really do not want to get diseases from a warehouse packed with nerds” were thoughts both prompted by the con the other day. So.)
(Thankfully nerds seem to be pretty good at getting vaccinated? I’d actually be interested to see if anyone’s done some kind of study in rates of concrud post everyone getting more on-the-ball re. seasonal vaccines, hey.)
