@AstrogatorC Btw, as a thanks for asking, here's a concept image for the Book 3 cover. Recognize the character?

[David Benem @DBenem]

Writing and revisions continue on book 3 and there's light at the end of the tunnel. However, all work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy, so there is this…

Where was the clutching of pearls when your company had a vested interest in "ESPNBet" and its odds appeared in the crawler of every ESPN broadcast? Your point makes great sense: Giannis' involvement with Kalshi is terrible for sports, but LeBron doing ads for DraftKings – your employer's business partner – isn't. I guess Giannis is just investing with the wrong gambling company (i.e., a competitor)...

@AstrogatorC Getting there! Looking at end of the year. 🤞

Got my first ever request from a publisher for a full manuscript on one of my novels for adults today. 🎉🤞🤞

@BiblioTheory The gunslinger, hands-down. I didn't finish the entire series but that book has a good beginning, middle, and end where you don't really need to.

[Fred Phillips @FredWPhillips]

Well, big day for me. Pre-orders are up for the ebook version on Amazon. 🎉 https://t.co/qtaIEb8GOb

@ArtStationHQ Hello. I am hoping to get in touch with Joe Requeza but can't figure out how from his Twitter or webpage. I'm an independent author and friends with others who worked with Joe. Looking to reboot an independent fantasy series and Joe's portfolio fits perfectly.

HOSTILE releases today! It's my first novel in 9 years. At times, I was unsure I would ever write another book. Well, I got there in the end! Grimdark Magazine called it "a deceptively deep thriller on par with the best work of Catriona Ward or Gemma Amor."

I hope you enjoy it!

[Luke Scull @Luke_Scull]

My horror debut releases in 10 days! If you're a reviewer/author and would like a digital ARC, give me a shout. If you already have and I've forgotten, my apologies - let me know and I'll remedy the situation immediately.

Thank you!

Planning on hitting Archon 48 in early October! Very excited -- always a great event with passionate fellow fans of the genre.

@EmmanuelAcho @TheFacilityFS1 How does JJ Redick know what "championship shape" is?

[David Benem @DBenem]

@TK1954 @AdamSchefter Let's circle back in two years and see who is the bigger bust. Leonard or Sanders.

[David Benem @DBenem]

@TK1954 @AdamSchefter Jalen Hurts threw for fewer than 2400 yds his senior year. Yeah, in today's NFL, we should all be disregarding quarterbacks who aren't pure pocket passers. Have you been watching the NFL for the last 10 years? Ever heard of Lamar Jackson? Jalen hurts?

[David Benem @DBenem]

@TK1954 @AdamSchefter Let me help you. Approximately 4000 total yards and 38 touchdowns. Oh, and by the way, he made it to the national championship game. There's only two quarterbacks on the planet who did that last year.https://t.co/KmirKpORys

[David Benem @DBenem]

@TK1954 @AdamSchefter Did you watch a single game? Did you look at his stats?

[David Benem @DBenem]

@Sugarfire44 Sorry, my first answer was wrong and I didn't see the menu. Hash brown casserole and creamy spinach fo sho.

[David Benem @DBenem]

@Sugarfire44 Hashbrown casserole and broccoli bacon ranch!
