✨COVER REVEAL✨ My debut science fantasy, THE DEMON STAR, will be out next July from @dawbooks.bsky.social artist is Kieran Yanner, who could not have done a better job of capturing the vibe and setting of this book!

Book cover for THE DEMON STAR by Jesse Aragon. It shows a red/orange canyon landscape with alien ruins in the distance, and a ringed gas giant on the horizon. There is an eclipse in the sky, centered above three characters: a woman with light brown skin, dark red hair, and muscled arms, holding a spear; a boy with brown skin and black hair raising one hand toward the eclipse; and a man with pale skin, blond hair, and black robes.

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

There are two kinds of authors: 1) writes idealized self-inserts 2) gives their MC one or two of their worst personality traits, amplifies them x1000, then spends an entire book roasting them for it also the pipeline from 1 to 2 is real

I don't have much following here but I'll say it anyway: There are a lot of bad actors in pub calling themselves "agents", and I see writers falling prey every day. if you’re querying and trying to vet literary agents, if you’re new to this and don’t have access to whisper networks, my DMs are open!

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

Ok I’m really enjoying The Pitt, but the number of times on this show a doctor has said to a nurse “hey can you talk to this family member/watch this child/get this person a snack” is driving me batshit. That’s not what ED nurses are there for! Like the charge is the only one doing realistic stuff?

A company worth 1.54 trillion dollars has ripped me off for almost every book I've written, plus a bunch of my short stories. It's also stolen the work of my translators. "Robber baron" doesn't begin to cover it. This is invertebrate parasite behavior. Leech-ass losers.
