Today is a #commissions kind of day. I worked on three different commissions all day haha. Here's one of the sketches that I really like the vibe of so far. Moody moods all around... PLUS corgi. <3

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Which title sounds better, “Scruffy and the Legacy of Surdit” or “The Legacy of Surdit - Book I: Scruffy”? #amwriting #booksky #writer

Not only completed #nanowrimo but beat it by a week ahead of schedule. I’ve written plenty before but I wanted to see if I had the discipline to go the distance.

A belated thank you but a thank you nonetheless. Thanks to everyone who supported or pre-ordered “Crimson Seventeen” (out now). I hoped only one person would buy it but it manages to be nearly a hundred times that before the book came out. Now it’s onto the physical copy (available late fall).

We all knew this was the direction we were heading. I just didn’t know it would happen in less than a year. Shocked but unsurprised.

People going into “The Long Walk” thinking it’s going to be a lighthearted YA dystopia.

Twenty years ago, my ex used to tell me that I'd never be published, because everything I read was 'shit'.

These are my published novels (plus Lugan, plus two more completed, plus the one I'm writing at the moment and others coming).
