I keep getting these weird mobile ads that have excerpts of what I assume is some sort of supernatural romance book, which like, hey, whatever floats your boat.

...but also, censoring that "sucked" makes this so much worse, lmao. Why is it censored? Is the breath-sucking somehow lewd???
Screenshot of a paragraph from an ad that reads: "The cold wind blew in the warm, rich scent of them. I s*ck*d in a deep lungful. My wolf perked up at the smell of them. I knew that they smelled so good to try to lure in a mate. They always smelled so mouthwatering. Almost as good to me as the smell of my mate."

They say you put something of yourself into your work. I, for one, want giant spiders so I can pet them.
A book quote that reads: "Have something against spiders?" I ask. "Only when they're not big enough to pet," Gheraa says, his eyes narrowed. "Spiders should be bear-sized. Minimum."

no context excerpt (might be spoilers)
A screenshot of a story excerpt, as follows: Dhruv bristles. "None of you are taking this seriously," he says. "Is he even still human? What kind of person dies over and over again and just gets over it?" "Pretty human, last I checked. Except for my bones," I say mildly. "I have indestructible bones." "Can I see them?" Taylor asks excitedly. I stare at him. "No?" I say, although it comes out as a question. "I... I don't know how I would show you my bones." "Right. Sorry." Taylor deflates a little. Adeya seems kind of amused by the interaction, and Dhruv seems... well, no less annoyed than he was already.

Book 2 of DIE. RESPAWN. REPEAT. is now out! There's a robot friend in this one. And kobolds. Who doesn't love kobolds?

(I am unsure how my narrator dealt with me naming the kobolds Thys and Thaht, but I guess we'll find out in a month when the audio releases.)

Cover of Book 2 of DIE. RESPAWN. REPEAT, featuring the main character punching a dragontaur with a flying citadel-shard in the background.

I feel like the question "Will you stay open-source for me?" has got to be incredibly intimate for robots. This is like, marriage proposal equivalent. Maybe higher.
comic panel where Tony Stark asks Ultron "Will you stay completely open-source for me?", Ultron replies "Of course. I have nothing to hide.", and Tony ends with "Then I propose you stay close for now."

i have a habit, both in writing and in real life, of accidentally putting innuendos into things.

this is best exemplified by this comment from my copyeditor
a screenshot of an old manuscript where I talk about my character grabbing a pulsating flesh-blade and my editor awkwardly tells me "this reads as kind of porny"

Some bright looking zombie survival game. The player chops down some trees while a scary man in a mask looks on. An ad will play in 2 seconds.

Alright, let's do some self-promo for once. Here's the first series I ever wrote! Edge Cases is about a team of adventurers trying to figure out what's wrong with the world they live in; it's got found family, lizard/armor queer romance, and existential horror.

Link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C92XY69T
The cover of Edge Cases 1, titled The Fabric of Reality. Four adventurers sit around a campfire. One is a suit of armor, another a priest, the third a half-orc, and the fourth a lizard. Above them, an ominously glowing eye shines through the sky. Cover for Book 2 of Edge Cases, titled The Nature of Magic. The four adventurers stand at the entrance of a dungeon inscribed with runes; tiny motes of magic light up the scene. The suit of armor and the lizard are holding hands. The cover of Edge Cases 3, titled The Meaning of Life. The four adventurers appear to be about to cross a bridge. Derivan, the suit of armor, is missing an arm and is wearing a cloak. They stand in the midst of some greenery in an oddly idyllic scene. The final book of Edge Cases, titled The Heart of Divinity. The four adventurers appear to be gathered on the edge of a cliff, with the priest reaching out for a glowing orb of light. The skies are dark.

I'm alive again! I was basically bedridden for a day or two (stomach flu).

Bonus Hatchling arriving just as I recovered. Look at them. I love them. I should get them a little plush helmet.

Time for more art! This one's by @galactato.bsky.social and it's full version of the art I'm using for my profile picture. I don't like using real photos and wanted some cool representative art.

Are authorsonas not a thing? They should be.

An ectoplasmic entity occupying a full suit of armor; a blue, firey glow burns within it. He holds that same blue flame in one hand and has a chain wrapped around his helmet and neck.
