One of the underrated joys of having a Vietnamese wife is getting to celebrate New Year twice 😊
Happy Lunar New Year (Year of the Horse) to my fellow scribes worldwide.
May your sentences run wild as horses, your muses arrive wine-kissed & your drafts need only minor exorcisms! 🐎🐎🐎

One of the best books I read lately: Beautiful Mrs Seidenman by Szczypiorski (a name my brain won’t keep). Some parts make me stop reading & just stare into space.
Older books do this to me more than new ones. Maybe less hurry. Less plot-obsessed. Anyone else felt this w/ a recent read?

Eldur, MC of my upcoming #graphicnovel BLACK TIES. Fire god in the Senate of Gods. Incorrigible. Quick-witted. Mouth always in overdrive. Runs on sarcasm, bad habits & a moral compass that spins only when it has to. Shows up late, annoyed, but right before everything falls apart.

Crazy to say that it’s book launch day!
Twin Rivers is a cyberpunk-adjacent story about three characters grappling with technology and religion, free will and control in a theocratic city state ruled by a mechanically-enhanced High Priest.

Something I always have to remind myself when revising a manuscript:
If you fall in love with the vision, not your words, rewriting becomes a hell of a lot easier.
Cut what you must, leave your words bleeding on the floor. Sorry, little guys. I don't mean to be cruel 🗡️🩸

Clearing the weekend for a small, disciplined triathlon program: book, bath, nap!

The bath and nap are not community events. The reading is—anyone’s welcome to join that leg.

Holy mackerel! The pre-dawn trash heap of my writer’s mind (shaped by last night's time at the pub and the people around it) gave me this hard-earned barroom insight:
Far too many people are perfectly content to be nothing but somebody else :P

This new indie comic by @juspeachie.bsky.social caught my interest. Read the opening that dropped earlier this week—strong start, promising premise. I’ll be keeping up. Juspeachie says fresh parts land each Monday. Let's see what's next :)
It begins.
Immortal Incarnate is now live.
A story of love, loss, and the lives that echo between them.

Gonna start posting some characters from my book. First up, Consuelo and Maigualida, the Witches of the Cloud Forest and the High Seas! Each one inspired by a different Venezuelan region (the Andes, and the Lake Maracaibo and La Guajira).

I'm stoked to announce that I've found a very talented illustrator for my Dysfunctional-Society-of-Gods graphic novel. To kick things off I thought it a good idea to visit the gods of illustration & animation at Disney HQ Singapore. May the pencils be with us :)
