On the one hand, a 5-star review of my book is much appreciated.
On the other hand, creating an account using my dead fathers name to do so is seriously fucked up.

...I think you can buy my book on Amazon now? In paperback I mean, its been up there as a digital purchase since it was first published.

Just matched the number of chapters between my first novel and its sequel, with at least a dozen more to go. Hope I can find a publisher, DIY is a hassle.

If CONAN is doom metal for death metal fans, then MOTHER IRON HORSE is for sure stoner metal for death metal fans. Excellent energy and crunch.

To think, it was only about 7 months ago that my editor said "you should write a book", and now here it is on bookstore shelves.

The bookstore is Cross & Crows in Vancouver. First I approached, first to accept, first to shelf.

First print run of paperbacks in hand. Shipping these is murder. Friggin' Canada Post... Makes it hard to empathize with their impending strike.

Still in need of some reviews out there for my book. Anyone active on goodreads or blogs, etc-- want a copy? Free ePub, or trade paperback for shipping only. Email me- zombosis with an at and a gmail and a dot and a com.

Its grimdark/splatterpunk- dark, violent fantasy. Due to word count restrictions, its probably easier to just link it to a digital storefront? Theres a preview function that'll be more indepth than a blurb- www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/...

My first ever review, from the Indigo website. Plus, I don't actually know who wrote it, so that's a plus! #booksky 📚🪐💙 #grimdark #darkfantasy

I get wanting to be aware of world events... but several authors I love, their social media is insufferable. 3 or 4 posts a day, every day, ALL DOOM, ALL THE TIME. Ceaseless politics and negativity. Its fucking draining. Talk about your books or some shit. #booksky 📚🪐💙 #grimdark #darkfantasy

Thanks. The artist I had work with me on it did a great job interpreting my sketch. Sienna Arts at Whiterose Publishing.

If you'd like an e-copy, I can fire one your way right now. For a physical one, that's still a wait I'm afraid, the full print run isn't in my hands yet, just my proof copy.

Keith Durocher Creative @keithdurocher.ca · Apr 18

I guess I can officially refer to myself as an author now. Proof copy turned out pretty much spot on.

Throwback to that time I was in US Magazine, so I had it framed, but then all my clients seemed to think I was obsessed with the Depp/Heard divorce. Womp womp.

Just won my first short story contest!

(It sounds more impressive than it is. 400 to 700 words in an /r/grimdark reddit contest in which there were 4 winners splitting the prize and only about 7 entrants total...) Still... Yay me? 🤪

Just finishing up the second of two short stories I'm planning on sending to @hellboundbooks.bsky.social for consideration in their anthologies. Don't think I'll revisit this corridor of horror again anytime soon though.

I read this really great series one time about how belief defines reality and all these crazy people had zany magic powers that got more powerful the crazier they got. Maybe that series could help you out? Just believe you don't know anything about writing and you're gold. Eyyyy *finger gunz*

Sweet! Makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?
