Not sure I remember how to post on Tumblr 😅 but:

HI THERE! I have a book coming out next month!

Hidden Bonds is the third and final book in the Compound Series, an urban fantasy m/m romance starring a cranky empath, the deceptively "normal" officer he falls for, and the sinister organization that wants to kill them both. Official blurb + more info below the cut.

Long time no see, Tumblr! I hope you’re all doing well. 💖

Today I’m offering up a gift to my fellow geeky writers who are tired of pointless, overly proscriptive writing advice:

Introducing the Let’s Write With… video series, in which we explore the possibility that watching anime + discussing the craft of writing might just = writing advice that doesn’t suck!

For this inaugural episode, we’re looking at the anime Tower of God and its take on things like genre, character development, and plot-driven consequences.

🧭 Have you read LOST? 🧭

Turns out every day really is a Learning Experience™ because I just learned how to get Lost, the companion short story to the Compound Series, up on Goodreads!

Lost is a newsletter-exclusive short story set in the Compound Series world. It takes place before and during Dark Empathy and includes:

A timid but tough heroine 💪

Shady experiments on magical people 🧪

BFFs trying to save each other from ~peril~ 🙏

A sprinkling of Compound Series cameos 😉

Hiya! Here’s a quick announcement that I will be going on indefinite hiatus from Tumblr.

I’ll be letting the queue play itself out, but I won’t be checking messages or making original posts (with the possible exception of sharing new YouTube videos and book release announcements–we’ll see what I’m up for).

Here are some other places you can find me:

Instagram

Youtube

Bardic Fool website

This is not a decision I make lightly. I’ve been on Tumblr for years (both in fandom and as a writer), and I still have so much love for this weird little place. But for mental health reasons, I need to reevaluate how I engage online, and for now, that means stepping back from certain social platforms.

What if we’re shouting into the void … and no one’s listening?

Creating art in a vacuum can be hard. In this week’s episode of Conversations with the Void, we’re gonna get real about how to create when it feels like no one else cares.
