A video for my Three Kingdoms geeks! This was such a great trip in Hubei, or as it was called back then, Jing Province.

Sorry it took a year and a half to edit it 😂

A bookstore owner told me this month that self-published writers aren’t “real authors.”

Counterpoint: We are. And we rock.

If you’re dreaming of publishing your first book, don’t let snobbish, bitter people tell you otherwise. You’re awesome, and with a bit of work, your novel will be too.

Back to Japan!
I've mostly avoided social media for the past month. What did I miss?

Baptiste Pinson Wu @baptistepinsonwu.bsky.social · Aug 19

So looking forward to your thoughts on it! I loved writing this book, and I hope many people will enjoy reading it as much.

For those who like the cover of BLOOD OF THE KAMI, I'm pleased to let you know that the first sketches for its sequel's just came in, and they are bloody awesome.

Much respect to all my self-published friends in the UK! I've only spent two days here, but everyone I've talked to from the publishing industry made me feel small and worthless. They did so politely, but one even said that I wasn't "really" an author. You keep thinking that...

Landing in Edinburgh this evening! The next couple of days are going to be awesome🔥

Never been one to give voice to the imposter syndrome, but, damn, working on Yellow Sky Revolt’s 2nd edition is feeding that monster like crazy!
