  1. Been recently unwell and enjoying an extra-introverted/offline phase, but just popping by to say I'm still here, #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy is still happening, and Cyrano's officially competing with Jules for my favorite character, for reasons that have only just now fully revealed themselves to me, and which will only become clear to readers with the third or fourth book.

    I have no doubt Cyrano's going to be (or remain, for those who've already read all the way to the end of TWCAD Part 2) the most controversial character in the series and generate a lot of uncomfortable feelings and debates. His arc is primed to take some truly jaw-dropping twists and turns.

    If he makes you especially uncomfortable, maybe consider—as I have, often—whether you see anything of yourself in him.

  2. Still wrapping up Part 3 of #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy, but visions of the sequel are already blooming in my mind.

    I can't wait to introduce Jules's hero, the legendary alchemist Evander Lockwood, and dive with Rory into the rich polytheistic world of the Hermetic Order of Khmun.

  3. Things to expect from the sequel to #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy:

    -eggs hatching 🐣

    -(new) old traumas resurfacing

    -weird parent-figure dynamics

    -more Karamat/Khmun 𓂀

    -more Lockwoods (including sooo many plausible answers to the question "Why is Hunter like that??")

    -Max becoming a POV (or what used to be Max...? 😱)

  6. . @dontdoitneil and I are gonna start releasing Part 2 of our #webnovel #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy tomorrow/Halloween Day! Here's a synopsis and links to Part 1 if y'all want to check it out:

    When a hijacked war golem turns on the crowd at a meeting of the Auctoritas Magicae, prodigy apprentice Jules Nimri deploys his newly-developed “combat alchemy” to bring down the automaton—but only after the construct has slaughtered dozens. In the aftermath of the tragedy, accusations fly, rekindling an ancient interfaction feud that could plunge the arcane world into war.

    Meanwhile, in nearby Chicago, young ex-mage Rory Navarrete is swept back up in the esoteric life he left behind when he stumbles on a coven of apostate mages in the middle of a ritual human sacrifice. After striking them down with his own forbidden magic, Rory rushes the victim to the Enclave to seek treatment for a supernatural injury—only to be clapped in irons the moment he sets foot on premises.

    Jules negotiates Rory’s release, tentatively reviving a childhood friendship that ended in betrayal. The star-crossed odd couple join forces to investigate the murderous apostates—only to find clues of a deep conspiracy, and a malignant magic long thought extinct. Their discovery could prevent tensions from boiling over, but finding proof is no easy task, and time’s working against them, as Hunter Lockwood, scion of a potent magic dynasty—and Jules’s depraved ex-betrothed—stokes the fires of separatism to fuel his own political rise, pushing the alliance toward the brink much faster than anyone could have imagined.
