From my POV as a Muslim American, Alex Pretti is a hero. We always feared that one day, the government would target us and no one would help. But Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and thousands of protestors stood up to defend Muslims and other minorities targeted by ICE in MN. Heroes.

First Goodreads review: "I’ve read a lot of grimdark over the past 3 years and it has been ages since I’ve felt the genuine disgust I felt with some of the characters in this book, and I wouldn’t change a thing about them. My top read of the last 6 months."

What the hell is this book about?
It's about a murderer who hunts murderers. One day, a woman he wants to kill begins telling him stories to prolong her life, just like in Arabian Nights. Except the stories are full of biblically accurate angels and cosmic horror.
It is mental.

Now that I have so much art for Elder Epoch, I thought I would try my hand at a book trailer. How'd I do?

One of the best things I get to do as an author, in this age of cynical exploitation of AI, is spend a lot of my earnings paying artists to make me truly one-of-a-kind illustrations filled with heart and soul.
The campaign ends in only 3 days! Check out all the incredible art unique to the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition. So grateful to all the brilliant artists who worked so hard!

Just surprised my backers with perhaps my favorite add-on of all time for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition. It was so insanely fun to get to do these faction brooches!

This series is called GUNmetal Gods for a reason. There are guns! But did you know there are also elephants? And GUNS on top of ELEPHANTS?

This is "Blood Cloud" by Joe Requeza. Aaaah I love the dark fantasy vibes.
