After the massacre of his town, Jesse evolves into a determined warrior who refuses to turn down the chance for justice, even if that means sacrificing his opportunity for peace.
A gritty story full of heart, action, and revenge.

At the first coding academy on the moon, constant surveillance doesn’t stop the smartest misfits from plotting their escape—even if it costs them their freedom.

Revenge or Redemption? Villain or Hero?
Red Demon has a healthy dose of all!

In this startling literary debut, the page has turned on humanity’s utopian appetites, and a new chapter is underway—one of hunger turned inward; of collective anxiety, auto-consumption, and quantum mechanics run amok.

Maybe I can interest you in Red Demon - a science fiction fantasy book with darkness and heart?

Can't write about minors doing weapons training without doing something like this once in a while. #ownvoices and all that.https://buff.ly/VG9TJzq #halloween #authorlife #fantasy #familyfun #throwingknives

I can't write gritty books with action scenes and swords without owning swords and knives, and throwing them occasionally. #ownvoices and all that. My debut is #reddemon, a fast-paced science…

An assassin and recent amputee, Rhu Farrier, who travels across a continent to complete the mission that should have been hers; Daxian Cloud, a dragon sworn to service by an ancient oath who questions his loyalties, and an orphan.

#RedDemon will hit #fantasyromance notes too in the second half of the book. But please know I'm comping #RFKuang and #RedRising for a reason.

Do y'all prefer a guaranteed HEA or the tension of not knowing how things will end?

Not me, happened to a friend but…

😄✅ A bookish post with an inspirational line citing the author/book.
☹️🙅 A post with an inspirational line misattributed to yourself.
🫠🍿 Being rude to the author who asks for the citation, stating incorrectly this is “fair use” then blocking them.

As a wise alcoholic in the Hunger Games once said "Remember who the real enemy is". Social media algorithms thrive when we are hungry for connection, not when we are sated. We hit the like bottom when we are affirmed, not challenged to be better.

From debugging trenches and absurd Agile rituals, through Corpoland's soul‑crushing bureaucracy, to Startupistan's hoodie‑fueled chaos and AI's confident hallucinations — IT Dictionary is your darkly funny survival manual for life in modern tech.

"The story is haunting and devastating as much as it is immersive and satisfying, as it explores otherness, trauma, loss, guilt, found family and free will."

Love this. I’m tired of seeing trope lists that look the same. We need more that say “world’s smallest unicorn”.
