Nicole thought she'd hate getting a tattoo, but she caught the bug!

Me too. I already have a tattoo in mind for TTtB, too!

My lovely wife got me a tattoo to celebrate the first anniversary of Anti-Hero Blues.

Looking forward to what the next year has in store for the book and for my writing journey as a whole.

Hey #Pittsburgh, @sanders.senate.gov is behind the nurses unionizing at McGee Hospital, and you should be too!

My writing assistant, working hard as usual.

She's lucky she's so cute.

I had a friend who wanted to make a game using d30s, but the dice were too weird for anyone to want to play test.

Platonic, for the win!

I know people who feel very differently, if only due to White Wolf RPGs.

Personally, I'm pretty indifferent. D6s will always have my heart.

Hey #Pittsburgh East End folks...

The Bacchus House, with its odd façade, was once home to Pittsburgh's most notorious madam

Regent Square's weird face building used to be a brothel.

Hey #booksky folks, here's another #bookreview for Anti-Hero Blues! It's humbling to be mentioned in the same sentence as a book by George R.R. Martin.

I'm currently working on another series, but the Anti-Hero Blues universe and its characters are close to my heart.

Expect more on the horizon!

This is the first novel to hold my attention since A Feast For Crows. I tend to read very slowly but coming to Mjomi for a new taste coffee every week and reading two or three chapters is becoming one of my favorite weekly rituals.

Aww, thank you! That's really lovely to hear! I've pivoted to another series, but there's absolutely more in store for the Anti-Hero Blues universe!

Hey #TTRPG folks!

I wasn't able to make it to Gen Con this year. Have any of you seen or heard anything that you're excited about?

At this point, I do not know how anyone denies what is happening in Gaza unless they have no sense of morals. People are starving to death. They are being shot at when they come to get food. What else can you possibly call this but genocide?
