Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 13/08/2025One of the rare treats that comes along with publishing a book about a bull semen heist is the Montgomery Burns-esque grin that oozes across my face when my new physical therapist asks what my book is about. 060
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Quick reminder that yes, I did write a heist book about a pair of thieves trying to steal bull semen. Not a euphemism. It’s called Extraction. 131
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 20/03/2025“It’s fine, I have all the way until June before this book goes to the editor! That’s like…” Counts weeks on calendar. Stares in shock. Vomits. 010

Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 13/03/2025I’ve been thinking about the scene I wrote this morning for over three years. To say it ruined me would be a bit of an understatement, but there’s something indescribable about finally realizing such a massive moment in this nine book series. 010
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I have many goals I’d like to realize as an author, but I think the peak will be having to awkwardly explain to a fan that they misspelled my character’s name on that tattoo. Dream big, everyone. 020

Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 13/02/2025I’m about to enter my unhinged era for book promotion. If you can find the truck stop bathroom I’ve written the entire manuscript of my bull semen heist novel Extraction, there’ll be a fun easter egg for you. Not that. That’s not the Easter egg. Don’t touch that. 000

Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Just a quick reminder that I did indeed write a fantasy heist novel about a pair of thieves trying to steal bull semen. Which means I had to research how bull semen is collected. If that’s not worth a book purchase, I don’t know what is. 031
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 19/01/2025When I was young my dad told me that if you had an innie bellybutton you had to marry someone with an outie bellybutton so you could snap together. Still don’t know if that’s amazing or terrible parenting. 130

Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 06/01/2025I had all this intent to hit the ground running in 2025. I may have not taken into account that I’m moving in five days. This may have been a miscalculation. 120
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Setting my goals for 2025 in the hope that I’ll have as good a year as I did in 2024. - Write and publish Ranger. - Find a way to bring an audiobook of Frostbitten to life. - Be healthier on December 31 than I am now. - Pay off debt. The goal is for my actions to align with these goals. 050
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Statements from my in-laws : “This neighborhood was so bad the government declared it blighted.” “You would not believe how many dead bodies they’ve found in that park.” “See that street? That’s where all the drive-by shootings happen.” Followed by: “I don’t understand why guys won’t move here.” 000
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I started marking every state I’ve shipped a book to. (This doesn’t count Amazon, because they don’t share those details.) New England, I promise you’d dig Frostbitten! It’s set in a frozen hellscape! 031
Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Also, aside from my somewhat maudlin post earlier, I really am excited to be dropping a bull semen heist novel tomorrow. To be clear, the bull semen is the objective of the heist, not the perpetrator. Dammit, did I miss an opportunity? 030

Dietrich Stogner @dietrichstogner.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Tomorrow, my next book EXTRACTION releases. It might be some of the best writing I’ve ever done. It was also the book that made me work for every single page. Writing it was mentally and creatively exhausting, and I find myself not quite knowing how to feel about finally reaching the finish line. 151
