”The Magic Mountain” by Thomas Mann. I’ve been in a reading rut for about a month, but I started this a few days ago and I’m about 100 pages in. I really like it. I already ordered another Mann book. 😂 #books #booksky #literature #reading #thomasmann #magicmountain #writing

This is the cover of the new novella I’m publishing in September. This story was inspired by a Dolph Lundgren B-movie I watched stoned one night back in 2007. I’ve tinkered with this for over a decade, but it’s time to let it go. #books #writers #writing #literature #booksky #reading
