Few things hit like an unexpected "I bought it on a whim from a small bookstore, and really enjoyed it."
Grateful to everyone who has given DIGITAL EXTREMITIES a shot. I published this collection expecting it to be my least read, most divisive book, and it's been the complete opposite. 💙📚 🥹

A reading roundup for October 2025. 📚💙
I read EVERY DARK CLOUD by @marisca.bsky.social in one sitting, at a nature park in Vermont. A really lovely novella.
THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS was an effort to read something unusual for me, and it was a pretty fun time. Not my favorite but a good change of pace.

From the first ARC review of COPPER SKIN, OAKEN LUNGS:
"This intriguing premise is paired with deft attention to worldbuilding details (including some delightful Central European naming influences), and the pace moves along nicely... It's a shorter novel, and if anything that's my only criticism."

In THE WHISPER THAT REPLACED GOD, Timothy Wolff has crafted one of the most memorable characters I’ve read in some time. This novella is something special, and it is only heightened by Nick Cracknell’s work on the audiobook.
