@milobela Hey! Two things 1) loved your book, read it with my 11-year old son. 2) I'm a fantasy/SF writer (published by Tor) working on a new novel. In over my head on a math/philosophy problem and would love to pick your brain. Happy to pay for your time. No worries if not!

@keithdunn @JasminKParis Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

@intrinsic75 Thank you! Working away on it…

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

Perfect timing! It's the first snow of the year here in southern Vermont and I was just moving the last of what will be next year's firewood under cover...

On a cold winter's night, a #goblin is caught stealing firewood. *Then* things start getting weird.

Here’s a seasonal favorite we produced.

Listen to The Log Goblin written by @BrianStaveley and hauntingly read by @NeilHellegers.

@LukeRosenWriter Hey Lucas, my son Felix just wanted me to thank you again. Your directions worked and he was able to get into the game. You made a kid’s night!

Does anyone know how to enter a Solo Victory Cup tournament on Fortnite? Asking for a frustrated 11-year-old...

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@LukeRosenWriter Thanks, Lucas!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@evanaustinauthr @roguecaliber Absolutely. That’s great!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@JustinKey_MD Congratulations, Justin!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@RyanVanLoan Congratulations, Ryan. What a wonderful photo.

@WinDarlington Hey Winston! Just turned a big corner in a tough year and I've been writing up a storm. There's still a long road ahead, but I really think you'll like what's at the end of it. Thanks for sticking with me!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@MNH2387 @RachPodger Thanks for asking! Been a tough year, but just turned a big corner and I'm typing away as we speak. About 100K into the book so far...

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

Logged back on here for the first time in ages just to say that @RachPodger is my favorite violinist and her newest recording, Tutta Sola, is wonderful. Also, introducing me to some pieces I didn't know!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@Undertheradarb2 @plstuartwrites Very cool idea. I love going at things blind--books, movis, wine, etc--with no preconceptions.

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@HarjothSingh Working on it now. Can't make any promises either way, but thank you so much for reading!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@combatcodes That’s an awesome video.

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@Megerz16 I’m glad you like Adare! Lots of readers don’t care for her, but I’m a big fan. She has to deal with the real world in a way her brothers do not. Anyway, thanks for reading!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@evanaustinauthr Also, congrats on getting the draft done!

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@evanaustinauthr I think Skullsworn is about 120K words? Empire’s Ruin is over 300K. Just for context…

[Brian Staveley @BrianStaveley]

@Ballysbest Will do! Thanks for the tip…

Let's say you were a person from the neolithic and you met some very advanced aliens. What kind of technology could they tell you about (assuming communication) that you could *actually make* in order to rule over the other neolithic folks?
