Thank you to everyone who has read it, hyped me up, put it in other people's faces, reviewed it & all the things. I don't read reviews much but the chief complaint is that people wished it was longer 😂. I can live w/ that. I promise longer work is in progress and I am also not done w/ my boys yet.
Three years ago (holy shit where does the time go!!) I got to introduce this world and these characters into the SFF ecosystem. I still admire the cover art constantly tbh. Could not be more grateful to @neonhemlock.bsky.social and @completelycathy.bsky.social www.neonhemlock.com/books/a-nece...

My first story set in my home of San Diego! The inspiration for this was a Twitter post I saw from a white pagan years ago who said with all seriousness “you can’t accuse me of oppression because I was a Black slave in a past life”.

Still reading my ARC of this, but fuck damn I'm enjoying it! The texture of the world, the sense of history imbuing everything, the genuinely fresh cosmology and magic system...and that's just the *backdrop* for two EXTREMELY compelling viewpoint characters and a page-turner plot!
I'm 10% into GODBURNED by @fozmeadows.bsky.social and this book is EXACTLY MY SHIT!! In a world where some of the popular fantasy stuff seems to be skimping on making the worlds intricate, this book is so-lived in from the very first chapter and refuses to coddle you. I love it! Pre-order folks

Just discovered wordhippo.com and I'm finding myself just glazing over words and remembering they exist. Great little site. This is what the internet should be for...not that stuff. (Generative AI. I mean generative AI. Don't even want someone to guess different 😂)

I see it is time for a reboost for this novel, coming January 2027.

So you loved the Odyssey, and you're looking for something EPIC? "the sensibilities of an epic poem" @suyidavies.com "a brilliantly layered story of myth and magic, gods and monsters, warriors and lovers" @premeemohamed.com Try Simon Jimenez's THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATER! geni.us/Spearcuts
Once again the Black Iron series delivers!! @mytholder.bsky.social has created a world I am thoroughly fascinated in exploring and utterly sure I would never, ever want to be part of. The evolution of Eladora is probably the thread I am the most fascinated by. Reminds me a bit of Wes from Angel.
This book really really does a great job illustrating just how horrifying and destructive to the idea of reality itself that a divine global conflict would be. Psychopomps without purpose, cities warped into illusionary wastelands, people losing entire concepts of being. Yeesh!
About 200 pages into THE BROKEN GOD and Guerdon’s world still remains one of my favorite modern fantasy settings. @mytholder.bsky.social sits right up there with Max Gladstone and Foz Meadows for me in getting how to infuse the weird into the epic.

Dystopian puppet shows, speculative email threads, and TEETH. and TEETH. and more TEETH. @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social rounds up the SFF short stories you need to check out from June!
Absolutely perfect review of this book and full on agree that DEAD HAND RULE is a 10/10. thequilltolive.com/2025/10/14/d...
I've been a slow reader lately but I just wrapped this book up and I stand by my statement. I know the Council of Queens is a little nuts but I stan them and their nation as a whole. The Shavaktiin are such a neat concept as well.
Not even 100 pages into AN ACCIDENT OF STARS by @fozmeadows.bsky.social and I’m already sure of my opinion that this book is one of the great modern portal fantasies.

My tale of undead assassins, sorcerer edge lords, and be-tentacled dancehall queen goddesses... is included in this list of short fun fantasy reads for the summer. Get you some.

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.
When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
