Greetings #WritingCommunity! My name is Sam Flynn, a SFFH author based out of Ohio. I love epic fantasy, murder mysteries, and brain-melting horror featuring characters rebelling against the status quo.

My debut novella #TheMysteryofthePaleKing is out Sept. 17! Links in bio.

Imagine #TheBrokenEarth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin meets the #WarArtsSaga by Wesley Chu in a dark flintlock fantasy setting. Martial arts duels of #DBZ and #TheMatrix films meets ensemble mystery fiction such as #DragonAge, #Lost and #TheExpanse. https://t.co/oIYw4IQBKT

Jeff Bezos of Amazon had a 50 million dollar wedding in Venice surrounded by billionaires, celebs, and the elite but the true threat to American workers and democracy is Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who want affordable housing, health care, and higher wages.

Our last #TheMysteryofthePaleKing audiobook excerpt is the long-awaited introduction of our antagonist, the Hero of Hathur. An unholy combination of Gilles de Rais, Kurtz from Heart of Darkness, Judge Holden from Blood Meridian, among others.
