My favorite magic systems don't have rules, they have costs — and a character whose job is to absorb them. Jemisin's orogenes. Kuang's translators. Hobb's Skill-addicts. Gladstone's soul-debt lawyers. More like this, please! #BookSky #SFF #BookRecs

I'd love to see a fantasy novel about the records office. The misfiled treaties. The clerk who's been quietly rerouting the empire for thirty years because nobody else can read the old cataloging system. #booksky #writingcommunity

New-ish to BookSky. I write adult literary fantasy about translation, moral compromise, empire, faith, and the cost of telling the truth. Favorite lane: Babel / Piranesi / Le Guin / Jemisin / weird theological fantasy. Looking for people who overthink fictional governments. #booksky

Just finished Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. It left me staring at the wall — not from the plot, but from what it quietly reveals about power, who gets “lifted,” and what we sacrifice. The best books let their ideas settle in your bones. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Stories and rituals have always been humanity’s way of making the invisible feel real. That impulse is still very much alive — especially in the kind of fiction I’m drawn to. The line between myth and the institutions that govern us is thinner than it looks. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

The most terrifying monsters aren’t the ones with claws. They’re the ones wearing robes and carrying ledgers. Institutional horror hits different. The scariest stories are the ones where the monster is the system we all quietly agreed to. #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Horror

Recently I’ve noticed how much of our world is held together by collective fictions we’ve all quietly consented to. That tension feels like the heart of so much of the writing I do. Power is often just a story that enough people agreed to believe. #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Philosophy

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms. ‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms. But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…

Confessions of a nerd who reads Koine Greek for fun: double accusatives are low-key one of the coolest things in language. It’s like the sentence itself is performing an act of transformation. That idea somehow always sneaks into everything I write… #WritingCommunity #LiteraryFantasy #WordNerd
