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.

“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.”

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.
Too Cursed To Kiss releases Oct 1st!

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?

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.
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!

@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.
