TIL this is who apparently runs the Grievance Committee of the HWA. Patrick's still running unopposed. He's posted a weak statement on his substack saying he's grown as a person since creeping on Theo and "let the voters decide." There's no one else to vote for. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_T...

Hi. Everything I want to say it at the following link, which contains why I think Patrick Barb should not be HWA President. I'm going to step away from socials for a few hours now, and will see you all later. 🫀 CW: sexual misconduct. theodorehill.weebly.com/statement.html

I’ll continue writing and continue trying to put my work out there. But engaging with the “game” is clearly unhealthy for me right now. If you need anything from me, you can contact me via my website or my email. Best wishes to everyone!

For the sake of my mental wellbeing, I am going to step away from social media and away from the publishing world in general. I don’t know how long I’ll need to do this, possibly permanently.

I will always be an author. Nobody gets to decide that but me. No one’s measure of success or failure determines that. You may not see much of me. But I’m there.

The publishing discourse is either Trad Publishing is the greatest evil and you’re a fool for pursuing it Or If you’re struggling with trad publishing at all it just means you’re a bad author No nuance. No discourse at all. Just hot take central

Trump wants to make an example out of the Prairieland defendants, so we need to make an example out of them in the opposite way. We need to hold them close and not let the state claim they are the "bad protestors" who fought against fascism "inappropriately."

If you ever want to pick up a copy of HELL PIG from the late, great Off Limits Press, there are still plenty at the Southpointe Barnes and Noble in Lincoln, NE!

Apparently when they went into the store he went looking for the horror section to find my books. When they found them he said, “Isn’t that neat?” I don’t know if he can name me as his grandson anymore, but he remembered that I’m an author.

Interior for Lumberjack (2023). This project caught me at my lowest mental health in years and I let that flow onto my pages. For the context of the story, it all felt of a piece. Even with all my difficulties, the work and book as a whole remains very special to me.
