If you saw this as an ad, would you click on it? Still trying to figure out this design stuff. Self publishing is hard when you suck at aesthetics (and math).

One of the main questions in the series is how many types of non-humans exist? It is uncommon to even meet another creature of your own species other than your direct family. Everyone is so good at hiding their identities and pretending to be a normal human. So how rare is this non-human thing?

My current ENTIRE personality is the Wandering Inn series by PirateAba. Im finishing book 8, all on Audible. All day every day, and its cutting into my writing time... I do admire their character work. Top notch. And I cant help but now use this as a comp for my own work.

One question has been on my mind for a while. Mr. Herne, what's your beef with Denny's? I get that it's not great food, nearly more of a fastfood chain, but... you take a stab at it in ever series. Even the Seven Kennings which is not set on Earth at all, I am convinced. @kevinhearne.bsky.social

✨️Adulting✨️ I learned that you need to pull out your fridge and clean the dust off the vents and coils every 6 mos. to keep it from burning out and needing a new one... It takes 20 minutes, a screwdriver, broom, or vacuum. Maybe a brush. Save yourself some $$$ and do the thing now. #newhomeowner

I'm a chronic rereader, thanks to Audible. I read too slow to do it in print. And thanks to by ADHD I have to have a book playing all night as I sleep, I get cool dreams too. Some of my favorite series are ANYTHING from Kevin Herne and Brandon Sanderson. The Wheel of Time series. And Super Powerds.

#snapchat is the worst. The false sense of security from dissappearing messages look like kids messaging friends images of unaliving attempts or threats, active self harm, or other harmful behavior leaving kids confused and hurt, encouraging them to keep secrets and feeling unsupported #mentalhealth
