The "A Better World" book bundle is now live!
If you want books that rage and rebel against abusive systems or which propose more empathetic alternatives then this is the bundle for you. Come for anger, for hope, to read another perspective, or to see that you’re not alone.

I only wrote one line today and there's a lot about it I still want to fix. But I do like the vibe of this new book. I'm finally finding the parts of myself and the world where it came from.

Intro
I'm AJ. I write a range of fantasy and some sci-fi. My current WIP is Wrath of the Dragon-kind (book 6 in a series that is yet to be published.)
My next book release will be Rites of Departure in March. The MC is a ghost and it was so fun to write!

"Preorders numbering in the four digits"
Given where my book sales sit currently I can confidently say I have sold more books about trans magical girls than Mr. Beast and James Patterson have sold of whatever this is.
Where's my money and deals and PR push, eh?

“Bad news for publisher HarperCollins: The book-buying subset of MrBeast fans appears to be vanishingly small. Two people close to the project say The Most Dangerous Games is on track to be a historic bomb…”

It’s implied but I want to say it anyway: Go analog as much as possible. Let go of it all for stretches and it’ll have less of a hold on you.

I absolutely adore Merel's nostalgia for the people of her school that does not forget her loathing of its systemic flaws. The cruel institution that raised her also raised other children with whom she had camaraderie... but that institution was still cruel.
This is never forgiven by the writing.

I really hate this shot at the end.
I've seen so many people on the internet drooling over it but I really think this is an awful shot. Setting aside, for a moment, Doom no selling the two-finger block... Thor's axe having no real reaction to hitting the finger just looks awful.

Update: she went viral, so Amazon decided to get off their backsides and have a human phone her & restored her account.
So your Zon account being deleted for no reason may be fixable, IF you manage to go viral about it 🤪
Like I said above (links & all 😉), plenty of Zon alternatives exist!

Creatives, this has been a weird, WEIRD day. Amazon restored my publishing account. You know, the 14yo one they deleted? They restored it because of YOU. Community matters. Thank you. #amazon #kdp #k...

Friendly reminder that I hate genAI, I hate Meta and their sex criminal glasses, and if you're a big fan of either or both I think you're a laughing stock joke of a person and you should fuck off into the sun

It's so fucking annoying to see an indie game (or any game but especially indie) that might have some cool ideas or might be something I'm interested in trying out... and then seeing that they used AI.
