LEGACY OF BRICK & BONE turned one year old 🥹 It’s impossible for me to sufficiently express my gratitude for the support I’ve received from this beautiful community. You let me chase my dreams! Brightwash + B&B are both on audio, physical copies, ebooks, and KU 👇👇👇

Brightwash broke even today. I was not expecting it to happen, never mind within 18 months of publication. I was ready and willing to grind for a long time, for it to build slowly. It being OUT was enough. But instead it broke even and I can't possibly thank all of you enough.

It’s dawned on my that I intend to be working on TWO novels at the same time that both have travel as an important part of the plot arc, so it’s made me wonder… What is it about travel in books that fantasy readers hate so much?

Into the mind of a fantasy writer: What’s the name of that mountain chain again? Jfc this is pathetic I forgot the name of my own mountains I guess I’ll check my map, thank fuck for maps …There’s no name on those mountains? Did I forget to name an entire mountain range????

So....about this. According to the Hive AI detector the cover done for WAR TO END ALL contains AI-generated content. I have a cover reveal booked & a release schedule. Still trying to figure out the full fallout from this. I can say I'm not fucking happy. More on this later.

My big confession is I don’t care if readers skip stuff. Skip the prologue, the sex scenes, the action scenes. Skip every second page. Only read chapters with even numbers. Live your best life! Once you buy it, it’s yours to engage with as much as or as little as you want!

This is why I’ll defend Grimdark, this right here. You may not believe me, but truly this is a genre about hope. About overcoming obstacles. When the world is bleak and the characters are deeply flawed, but they rise ANYWAY, and overcome ANYWAY, that is truly a victory.

If you think about the books within the grimdark genre that you've liked, chances are they are about a shitty world where people are trying to be decent. Where even indecent people are trying to be good, even if they're pretending to be bad.

I love my husband. I love him so much that I didn’t kill him when he was fiddling with the breaker switches and shut off my computer mid sentence. I love him so much that I didn’t kill him AGAIN when he did it a second time.
