200 ratings! When I first published, I honestly never could have predicted this would happen, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has given my books a chance! You’re the best!

Bro, I would totally outlast you in the dungeon. I say as I sit in my air-conditioned car, sipping an iced tea after buying groceries.

July Update: Finished a draft of Mayhem of Scoundrels. Working on revisions now. Looking at Jan/Feb for release. My son was born in May. He’s pretty cool! My first out-of-state event in this week: Rebels and Realms in Northwest Arkansas. I’ll be at Dragonsteel this Dec!

Well, i decided to take the plunge and start organizing an anthology for fantasy and sci-fi authors in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado. I don’t really check Bluesky anymore, but hit me up on insta if you’re interested in learning more!

I’ll post a few of the reviews with the comments from readers: @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social : “You were right, that guy who gets introduced near the end - he’s my favorite too!” *shows him the novella* “Cory, you holdin out on me?! I’m almost done! Can I get that tomorrow?!” The Envoys of War

Okay, for custom table cloths and banners, has anyone used a cheaper option than Vistaprint? I trust Vistaprint to do a good job, but there are these other sites that are so much cheaper...

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I don't really use bluesky much anymore, but hey, my books are available on the Broken Binding now! Signed Bookplate editions! If you're UK or Europe-based, this could be a cheaper way to get a signed copy!

The Envoys of War has reached 150 ratings on Goodreads! When I first started, my goal was to someday get to 100 ratings, but I never expected that or this to happen within a year and a half of publishing. I’ve been so lucky with all the amazing readers I’ve met! Super excited for the future!

My first SPFBO review for Fanfiaddict! Blackwater by Emily Blakeny is a romantic dark fantasy with action, thrills, and romantic tension. This was a really fun read!!

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Novel! So Cadreigh’s story was set in the same world as my main series (The Envoys of Chaos, which currently has The Envoys of War and the prequel novella, The Pawns of Havoc). Some of the characters ended Envoys on the Isle of Winn, so Cadreigh is making an appearance in book 2!

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Kindles do that sometimes and it’s so weird!! Happy editing!!!

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Instagram is so fun for me, but I’ve always been a bit of a performer at heart. Short stories are always fun. I’m knee-deep in drafting my book 2!

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Well, I’ve added in a few scenes where one of the characters is talking with her new roommate, a certain cussy Winn cook, and that’s been fun!

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

That’s awesome! I’m working on a sequel right now and it’s slow going. Drafting is a slog!

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

That’s so awesome! Let’s hope your betas come back with lots of a great feedback and only small fixes!!!

I've kinda stopped posting anywhere but Instagram. I like Blue sky, but it often feels like I'm talking to myself! If you're an author here, what's something cool you've worked on recently (a chapter, a line you just really liked, etc) If you're a reader, what's a book you've enjoyed recently?

Some of the different comps I’ve gotten for The Envoys of Chaos! Banter, bloody action, friendship, and a whole lot of heart. I’d be honored if you gave it a chance!

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

So I have this audiobook. It’s 3 hours long. Full of banter, bloody action, and some burgeoning, bittersweet romance. People have liked it. You can listen for free in the US or UK, because I have audio codes for you. It’s also set in a frigid wasteland, so like, it’s perfect for this weekend.

Dave Lawson @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

9/10 meteorologists agree that, in order to prepare for massive winter storms, you should read books set in frigid climates. Like my books, The Envoys of War and the Pawns of Havoc. It’s cold, but the banter is fire! (The meteorologist who didn’t agree is dead to me now).

Haha, I honestly don’t remember Cordyn’s hair color. I thought it was brown!!

Some random person: “AI helps me outline.” Me: Can AI do this? I didn’t think so! My outlining is basically just chaos and vibes, which honestly also describes my books.

New litrpg idea. In order to loot bodies, the characters have to stand over the corpses and shred on their lutes. Lute First, Ask Questions Later, coming Winter of who knows if I’ll ever write this.
