FUTILITY is published in the UK today! Mega-thanks to @cathtrechman.bsky.social & @titanbooks.bsky.social for giving this story a platform to shine. I dedicated this story of rage & vengeance to myself because it let me freely express my own rage over a horrible incident in my past.

Hm in this case I had to add an additional POV because I couldn’t expand the original story to sustain a book length by itself, or at least in the direction I took it

sometimes I think about books and readers etc in terms ice creams and it makes me feel less anxious about it all 🥹:

some like strawberry ice cream, some like chocolate, some are lactose intolerant and enjoy sorbets instead, and some perhaps don’t like the cold at all

In the Tongue of Unbanished Ghosts:

🏜️ A desert full of war
🔪 A mother whose secrets lead to her murder
🩶 A clueless, clumsy widower who forges watches with soul
🩵 A war criminal who is, unfortunately, very attractive
🏍️ And there was only one dirt bike

Gay JOHN WICK x MAD MAX FURY ROAD + soul magic

When his ma’s murdered, Noah embarks on a cross-desert hunt for answers—w/ an annoyingly attractive war criminal offering help. As Noah’s suspicion turns to feelings (ugh!), secrets from his companion’s past threaten to destroy them both. #dvpit #a #f

A mood board of eight pictures: reddish dunes, the wheel of a dirt bike, two silhouettes of men, silhouettes in a nightclub, a truck driving through dust, tents in a desert, and a lone house on flat sand.
