Here’s your Monday reminder to preorder my magic school book!
Preorders should now be available nearly everywhere for THE INCANDESCENT, coming in Spring 2025!
This is a book about money and education and status symbols, about loving your career, about demons, about magic, about fantasy school - but most of all about how 'school' is always a kind of fantasy.

We beat Astro Bot together last night! Absolutely wonderful game and the kid's come really far playing it.
My son has beaten the Spyro Reignited Trilogy so now we're getting into Astro Bot together.
