I’m in the process of upgrading to a better site and a better way to deliver these newsletters. I’ll be moving hosting to Ghost, and there shouldn’t be any major hiccups, but I’ll keep you all posted on the progress. I don’t want to bore you with all of the minutiae at the moment, but hopefully we’ll be fully moved by the end of September. Maybe sooner, depending on how long it takes for the domains to switch over. It’s still very much under construction, some pages unposted—Okay, that’s boring ...

Howdy, everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. We are basically two months out from the release of The Sovereign and Fate’s Bane on September 30. If you’d like to give me a birthday present, pre-ordering or bullying your friends and enemies into pre-ordering would be a great one.

Hello, my friends, and welcome to another dose of ‘this is how this book came to be.’

But first! I want to say thank you to the anonymous reader who donated to keep this website and newsletter running here. I cannot adequately express how much that means to me, but I am so grateful. Thank you so so much.

Instead of an excerpt today, I want to tell you about the musical inspirations for Fate’s Bane, which just got a lovely review in Locus Magazine:

“Fate’s Bane is heartwarming and hear...

Hello, my people!

I try to be a man of my word, and I am–just not always the fastest man of my word. Which is to say, I have finally finished editing the transcript for the event that I did in October with august clarke when his book Metal from Heaven came out. I have described it as a lesbian biker gang revenge story meets radium girls meets Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. If my previous exhortations haven’t convinced you to pick up the book, hopefully our conversation will.
