Chaos Terminal (The Midsolar Murders Book 2)
Mallory Viridian would rather not be an amateur detective, and fled to outer space to avoid it…but when one of the new human arrivals on a space shuttle is murdered, she’s back in the game.

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.
You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

I do love peeps complaining they are too poor to afford my less than 5 dollar books while I face the reality that unless I figure out new income streams, we won't be able to afford housing next year...
Most writers ain't rich.

Today I looked at the 40+ printed prototype of an ephemera type story and knew it had a major flaw, then everything clicked into place. So yeah, I’m a pantser through and through. I’ve been thinking about this story for years but it wasn’t fully realized till I was done with draft 1.

Good morning, folks. I hope you face your Friday with kindness and focus and NOT constantly replaying in your head that disastrous quest from last night’s BG3 game.

Back in 199(something) I played a little game called Baldurs Gate. I was wandering around a shop and thought if I clicked on something it meant that I was looking at it. Nope. Apparently I became a shop thief and needed to be murdered.

If you like my writing but don’t know current Warhammer, can you pick this up? I think so. Maybe a little running to catch up at the start but not necessarily more than most heroic fantasy. I think I give context to the concepts as they’re introduced.
My first full length Warhammer novel sees me doing my alien mindset schtick with the Seraphon, the lizard warriors of the Mortal Realms.
Holy crap!! Written in Stars by @aptshadow.bsky.social was one of my favorite shorts in last year’s Advent Subscription- just such a gem! And now we’re getting a full novel?
An absolute out-of-left-field gem of great news.
