He/him. Author of Poor Man's Fight, Good Intentions, and assorted other cool sci-fi/fantasy stuff. Yes, I am linking my stuff here, because why wouldn't I? https://tinyurl.com/49yf5kjc
I'm about halfway through the rough draft of the next Poor Man's Fight novel, with some semi-regular indulgence in fantasy smut silliness that mostly appears on my Patreon. :)

"Bbbut Elliott, what if you, as the audience, didn't know any better?"
Then you probably could've done the work yourself or hired an actual person with the skills to do it better. YOU know you used a tool built on theft and garbage. That doesn't make it okay. Fuck off with that nonsense.

And when I say, "Share," I mean send it directly, not just a repost on social media. Or tag them, at least.
I'm wondering how many people are excited about "bonus" money they were already gonna get. This kind of thing goads people into bad financial decisions (regardless of the politics).

All of my stuff is (currently) exclusive to Amazon. It's their requirement to be listed on Kindle Unlimited, which has been the biggest portion of my readership for a while.
I might someday experiment with going wider into other platforms, but that will take a lot of planning at a future date.

"Hurt people hurt people" is sometimes accurate, but "people who have been raised to see themselves as superior to others, have been given immense power over other people's lives, and have never had to face consequences for their actions, hurt people" is a lot more broadly true.

(btw if you are out there watching people mocking selling 1200 books and feeling bad because you'd love to sell 1200 books, please know that if you had been given the institutional support she has, you would have sold WAY MORE THAN 1200 books, it takes some sort of miracle to not do so)

Reversed already. Good.
Oh hey, also from Coast Guard basic training in the mid-'90s: we had an entire class that was basically Do Not Ever Fucking Follow an Illegal Order.
Obviously that wasn't the title, but it was the most serious anyone got about anything in the whole eight weeks.
Just saying.

I started working with Lee right when my writing/publishing took off. He taught me a ton about the publishing business. My career just wouldn't be the same without his art and his guidance.
