I generally have tried to not use Meta in anyway and getting my account suspended twice in the last 3 days is really pissing me off especially when the first claim was I stole content from my own book...and now apparently I am impersonating myself...?

At the K-Pop Demon Hunters sing-along, the whole theater turned into a choir. My kids belted every chorus; Tried to play it cool and cried. For a few hours strangers harmonized, fear clocked out, and joy did its job. That’s the world I want, loud, kind, singing together. This is what it sounds like.

Need a character-driven escape that lingers after the last page? In The Anvil’s Whisper, a blacksmith’s calling collides with faith, fire, and found family. Readers call it “quiet but deep.” Curious? Hit my profile, link in bio.

As a straight Catholic man, I stand with my gay siblings. I’ve seen the love in their marriages, deep, committed, selfless, often as much, if not more, than many straight ones.

There is nothing Christian about preventing love between consenting adults. Love is sacred, no matter who it’s between. 🏳️‍🌈✝️

Publishing hot take: traditional publishing is really hard, and self-publishing is really hard, and everyone deserves a sandwich and a nap.

I’m looking into producing an audiobook for my debut The Anvil’s Whisper—but I’d love to explore options outside of ACX. If you’ve used platforms like Findaway, Soundwise, or anything else for distribution or production, I’d love to hear your experience.

If you ever wondered what would happen if a mythic epic had a nervous breakdown and came out the other side wiser—The Anvil’s Whisper might be your thing. Not goofy, but strange, sharp, and unexpectedly funny in its own way. Starts standalone, but there’s more coming: bit.ly/4iZBQ4v

Jaime Rodriguez @jaimewritesfantasy.bsky.social · Jul 31

Totally get that—if you’re open to fiction that feels like oral history, The Anvil’s Whisper might surprise you. Rooted in myth, memory, and resistance—it reads like a sacred story passed down in fire. For the thoughtful traveler: bit.ly/4iZBQ4v

If you’re into fictional stories that feel real—set in mythic worlds but rooted in faith, fire, and deeply human choices—The Anvil’s Whisper might be your next favorite. A blacksmith. A prophecy. A quiet rebellion. I wrote it with readers like you in mind: bit.ly/4iZBQ4v

If you're looking for a read with depth and a hopeful ending that actually feels earned, The Anvil’s Whisper might be just right.

It’s epic fantasy with slow-burn tension, found family, and a blacksmith who never asked to lead. Quietly powerful, and yes—there’s light at the end.

It’s not just that the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank is happening—it’s that so many still deny it or worse, cheer it on.

You don’t have to be Palestinian to see the violence for what it is. You just have to care about humanity.

Everyone talks about falling in love for the first time, but what about the first time someone believes in your work enough to buy it? 🥹
