Recently in my city, the clown wagon arrived in the form of a poorly thought-out ball and convention. Think "Dashcon" but make it literary and forget the ballpit somehow.I already mentioned my original feelings on Threads, but it got whining from the usual suspects: White folks.Now, if anyone else wants to whinge, they're free to...

Coming up! Signed copies of The Harlequin will be available but I also will sign copies of my previous books! This will be, currently, my last in-person event for the year, as I have to focus on going to S. Korea at the end of the year for Soaring, which I have talked about in... Continue Reading →
AI, Meta & My Works

Read more about it here. If you're a writer with works out (including, and I'm not joking, fan fiction),... Continue Reading →

Some people don't have a book in them. They think they do but honestly, they probably don't. And that's ok. Writing is something that I notice people think is easy and that they'll one day "sit down and write a book" - which never comes. Some folks have genuine reasons to as why they can't...

New Ink: Endless Alchemy’s Candy Sea and Wearingeul’s Swatch Cards
