Proud husband and daddy! Check out my YT Channel with the link below! Author recs, reviews, and interviews. Reviewer for Before We Go Blog & FanFiAddict!
Amelia Rose 🌹 made her appearance into the world happy and healthy at 3:02am on September 30, 2023. I’m overwhelmed with joy and pride. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful. Thank you all for the abundance of love and support. My heart is full ❤️
Finally, I’m a free man! After 22 days of hospital food and sponge baths, I’m going home! If you write books, watch your inbox because I am having withdrawals from Interviews!! Let’s go!
I just had an author, who reached out to me previously, that wanted to collaborate but because I wasn’t able to interview him in his idea of a “timely manner”, he “will pass on a collaboration”. I do this for free and have 4 kids! Get real, dude.
I’m not usually one to talk about my personal life and feelings, but I know I can with this community, so I will. I am still here in the hospital. This is the end of Day 11 and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t struggling to find a “silver lining”. I have been doing this since
As a reviewer, is a review or an interview to promote your work a valuable resource and worth a book in exchange? Please let me know! Maybe I’ll quit feeling like a thief when offered a book lol
Well shit guys, I unfortunately won’t be able to make my planned interviews until I am back and out of OSU Hospital. This isn’t a pity post, but I wanted everyone to know what was going on since I have had to cancel a weeks worth of interviews. I’ll be back soon!
Hey y’all. I am sorry that I disappeared….again. I had to do a few more days in the hospital and I was honest wore out with disappointing people and canceling interviews. I’m home now and o think I’m back for good. 😊
My YouTube channel achieved 10,000 views on September 12, 2023! Thanks so much for the support you all have shown and I am going to keep screaming from my rooftop about you Indie Authors and your hard work and dedication! Thanks again!

I can’t hold the excitement any longer. On 03/02/2024 at 9pm EST I will Interviewing a LEGEND & hero of mine Raymond E. Feist! I hope you’re just as pumped as I am.
Hey y’all! I’ve had quite a few people ask me how I am and that they’ve not heard from me in a while, so here’s a quick update. I should be home Sunday or Monday. It’s been quite the adventure being that I’ve had to stare at the same wall for over three weeks now. I’m very
Beard’s Thoughts:
-There’s an author that I discovered on Instagram who captivated and inspired me in an epic and uniquely wholesome way (Sorry, I will not ever name drop). He/She had a viral moment where after a number of years of querying, he/she finally found a publisher and
Well we are having the baby! We, yet again, have to postpone my interview with John Palladino. The last time, we THOUGHT the baby was coming. This time SHE IS COMING!
🌹 Amelia Rose 🌹
Hey guys! I want some advice. I live books, authors, reviewing, and will FOREVER continue my journey on Beard of Darkness Book Reviews. I’m looking for a bit of opinion on this….I am a recovering addict and (to say the least) have been in so many life situations and
Ok, I need a pallet cleanser. I’m stuck in this hospital room and have been binging sci-fi and fantasy like nobody’s business. I need something cyberpunk, thriller, horror, etc so that I don’t feel so overwhelmed with SFF. SFF is still be love but I need to change lanes today.
Hey guys! I need some advice. Where can I submit a written review of books that I read? I love making videos for all of my dedicated reviews but that takes time, so if I had somewhere to submit written reviews, this would only help those books and authors, faster!
Any self-pub author who has a book coming out soon, please message me with your book title, release date, and blurb. Channel Updates and further explanation of this post dropping soon!
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you for each an every subscription you’ve given me. I’m well on my way to 750 and then 1000. That’s all because of you!
I will be back within a week or so with some LIVESTREAMS after I am done with some heath issues and a hospital stay. I can't wait to be a part of what is to come with my channel. See you all soon! Thanks for the LOVE! LOVE you all! See you soon!
I know these numbers are relatively small compared to my favorite booktubers, but I am very proud of these numbers and it’s all because of you guys! You’re all rockstars!
An enormous "Thank You" " two "Thumbs-Up", and an ear-shattering "Hell Yeah!", for all of you who have supported my passion for bringing Self-Pub Authors, their books, and who they are as individuals with my interviews. You are you're also making this book lover smile! Cheers!!
I am super proud for this achievement! Those who have large channels get this in one video, but for me, I couldn't be happier! Let's see what is next for our community! Thanks so much for the support from each and every one of you!
Hey guys and gals! I have a little booktube channel called
“BEARD OF DARKNESS BOOK REVIEWS” and I focus on talking with and learning from Self-Published and Traditionally Published authors. I wanted to invite you to check out my channel(in the bio) as well as, if you like my
For all of you amazing authors out there in which I aim to make aware of my existence and have you on the channel, my wife has informed me that I am “politely persistent”. A wonderful comment, if you ask me. 😄
I just Interview THE Raymond E. Feist and I am still on the clouds. WOW what a guy. So much insight and inspiration I now have because of this incredible man. Please go check out the Interview if you missed it LIVE! WOW is all I can say! 🔗👇🏻
My review for "Dragon Mage" by
@MLSpencerAuthor
is now up! Go check out my thoughts on a book that shook the foundation of my journey with epic fantasy. I have only one thing to say...Aram!
Here are the first 3 books I bought in 2024.
-Malice by

-Howling Dark by Christopher Ruocchio
This is a perfect example of what this community makes to me. I had no clue that this book was coming to me. What a wonderful human you are
@TimWolffAuthor
. My review for Book One is soon to come. Look how beautiful book 2, “Tears of The Maelstrom” is!
Still wishing I could go home, but not quite yet. My lovely wifey did, however, come see me today and brought one of my recent pieces of book mail! Look at this beautiful HC! “Trials of Ashmount” blew me away, so I am excited to dive into “Buzzards Bowl” by my buddy
I miss you guys when I have no guests to chat with, but my babies take the trophy. Spending time with my kids is the greatest gift I’ve received. I don’t deserve it but I cherish every second. One day they won’t need us and I’m just not ready for that. ❤️
Hey y’all! The past couple of weeks you may have seen a lot less of “Bearded Darkness”. On top of having a newborn, I also have chronic health issues. Those who do not know, chronic means to never go away, so the occasional downtime will be a part of me, forever. Love y’all!

A year ago, I had no interest whatsoever in reading science fiction. Now, completely obsessed, I am reading two at the same time. “Empire of Silence” by Christopher Ruocchio and “Lost Souls” by
@ryanskeff
! They are both excellent.
One of the comments from my chat last night was from my friend
@TimWolffAuthor
and it referred to “Dragon Mage” by
@MLSpencerAuthor
being a “Masterpiece”. I absolutely agree with him. What a great adventure with so many themes. Go read it.
Huge THANKS to

As we anxiously wait for our daughter’s arrival, I can’t help but feel the copious amounts of love I have received from this community, both now and since the beginning. It starts a new chapter in my life as a husband, father, and as a man following his love for the written word!
