ADAM PROJECT X DAUGHTER OF THE DEEP When 11yo Lu’s future self appears wanting help to save humanity from a deadly AI, Lu must leave the controlled environment of her favorite VR game and rejoin reality--or condemn everyone she loves to a VR prison. NBD, right?#stalkerpit #MG #SF

@lonestarlit provides an amazing service to the TX literary community.

(They’ve also published 2 articles by me. I may be biased.)

The June issue’s theme? “Empower.” My contribution: writing screenplays improves storytelling skills.

@ValerieSirenko Is this one of the anthologies you’re featured in?

“There’s that line in The Body by Stephen King: “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12 – Jesus, did you?” I think that’s true of books, too. I don’t think anyone loves a book like a kid loves a book.”

@ValerieSirenko Thanks!

My guest post looking at why there hasn’t been a sci-fi equivalent to a Hogwarts-style school just went live at FanFiAddict. Check it out! https://t.co/dSlFGSicDy

I’m honored to be featured in the April issue of The Lone Star Literary Life Magazine.

This month’s theme is GROW, so I wrote about the growing and changing reader tastes I’ve seen in my son and how we need to pay attention to that on a bigger scale as writers.

Last week I got to interview R.A. Consell, author of the MG/YA fantasy series Stealing from Wizards, about his books and writing life.

Check it out at the comment link.

Too Cursed To Kiss releases Oct 1st!
Fresh, fast-paced standalone urban fantasy romance.

https://t.co/z1e9fNy3f0

Ancient assassins. Time-bending magic. A safehouse full of secrets. On the run with a man who won’t stop pushing her buttons, Harlan’s only shot at clearing her name means diving headfirst into the supernatural underground, unraveling Wald’s tortured past, and unlocking a power she never knew she had.

The gap between MG and YA books isn't a new problem... so I'm proposing a not-new solution:

More book series that grow with their readers.

What do I mean by that?

@RyanRaeHarbuck So… you’re a writer 😁

[Josh Weiss-Roessler *is quietly plotting @boregenerations]

Is it weird that I sometimes go back and read something I wrote a few years ago and think, "I like myself"? It's weird, right? #WritingCommunity #writers #conceited

One of my favorite quotes ever is from Shawshank Redemption. I'm not sure what it says about me that I find it applicable so often: "Get busying living, or get busy dying." I haven't been doing near enough of the former lately. I'm working on it.

[Josh Weiss-Roessler *is quietly plotting @boregenerations]

Generally I don’t like quoting myself, but this book deserves some love. Check it out, #fantasy, #scifi, #sf fans.

I haven’t been around here much, but I wanted to pop on to promote the release of my friend’s wonderful second-world fantasy with not-quite-mermaids, racial and colonial tensions, identity questions, and ancient gods. Alteration is good. Buy it. https://t.co/aQON0TNZCE #Amazon

Horn-tooting time. My story "Unsupported" is the final piece in this wonderful anthology. Jessica at JayHenge has been fantastic to work with, and I hope you'll all consider supporting them (I did not intend that play on words) by purchasing the book! https://t.co/nDdxhTkjWR

The surreal day has arrived. The Kafka Protocol is now available on kindle, and soon in paperback and hard cover as well. We'd like to thank all the amazing authors and artists who made this what it is!

#RevPit submissions today ended at noon ET. I tried to submit at 11:08… CT. Oof. Goodnight, everyone.

[Josh Weiss-Roessler *is quietly plotting @boregenerations]

@AllyMalinenko Oof. Dark comedy/satire is tough.

Maybe Only Murders in the Building?Might be too silly.

Severance doesn’t have the crime angle but was weirdly good.

The End of the F***king World has some tonal similarities.

And if you want something intense and rabbit-holey — Dark.
