Oh oh! I've done another novel! This one sits firmly at the intersection of two of my deep personal interests (Warhammer and Chinese History).

"AI is just another tool for artists." Okay, so what's a tool? For me, it's something that helps someone better accomplish something they can already do. A nail gun can't build you a house. A sable brush isn't going to paint a picture. Even a Stradivarius violin isn't going to write you a symphony.

Harooo! Harooo! My newest little bookie is out! It's a sequel, but don't hold that against me. You can find it anywhere little bookies gather!

Having consumed a handful of roasted, mixed nuts as a midday snack for the past 5 years, I at last feel qualified to share my definitive mixed nut tier list: Pecan Almond Hazelnut Walnut Peanut Brazil Nut Cashew I will not be taking questions.

I know it's a little early, but the kiddo and I collaborated on a Valentine for my partner. I'll let you guess who did which part:

A child's drawing of an idyllic garden with the caption: "Your garden grows Lillies and Roses"

A nasty, vermin infested patch of soil with feet and skulls poking up from the ground and a factory spewing sewage on the horizon; with the caption: "Mine grows Rats and Toeses"

Treebeard, the only ent with a speaking role in any Lord of the Rings movie (or any of Tolkien's works, to be honest), saying: "A wizard should know better".

The description for my new novel just dropped on the Warhammer Community site. What a great early holiday gift, and DAMN that's a nice cover!

Haroo! Haroo! My novel is up for Black Library's "Book of the Year". I've got zero chance of winning (only one Warhammer Fantasy novel has EVER made it to the top 10), but it's an honor to be nominated. You're welcome to throw me a vote (link in comments), but don't stress out about it.

The novel cover features Maleneth leaping atop a bladed tower, knives in hand and cloak streaming behind. The background is of a Sisters of Khaine city, with fire lit idols and lots of sharp angles.

And so my yearly autumnal tradition continues one more Thanksgiving. As your mouth feasts upon delectable foods, so shall your eyes feast upon my favorite Halloween holdout: Witness...THE JOVIAL GUEST:

A pale pumpkin with marigolds growing out of its head and a terrifying grin eaten out by rot

It is unfair to eat your partner's takeout leftovers, even if they have been left in the frig for an extended period. However, it is right and just to levy a tithe of ONE SINGLE BITE, for every day they forget to bring the aforementioned delectables to work. I shall not be swayed in this belief.

Okay, so the old door puzzle (one of us tells the truth, one of us always lies). The door who is explaining the rules MUST be the door who tells the truth, otherwise there is no riddle.

Actually listened to the lyrics of: "The Piña Colada Song" for the first time today and realized the singer is looking for a wet, unhealthy drunk with disregulated sleep.

Aaaand scene! There are #BlackLibrary books that aim to be deep, and ones that aim to be fun. Both are vital for the property. This one, Shade of Khaine by @evandicken.bsky.social , was loads of fun to read. Full review will be coming on @goonhammer.com soon #Warhammer #BookSky

Of all the reference material I keep squirreled away in my digital catacombs, I'm surprised by how often I come back to this...
