This blurb is the stuff dreams are made of. Thank you @cgolden.bsky.social for the kind words for @mmdaviesostrom.bsky.social RISE FROM THESE DARK WATERS, coming this October from Bad Hand Books. Pre-order at our website or wherever books are sold. Illustrations throughout by @thomassbrownarts.

“The most original Novel I’ve read in a very long time. If Tolkien had written World War Z, pondering the ravages of time and the facets of human nature, it would have come out something like this. An excellent start to what’s sure to be a series we’re all talking about.”

Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of ROAD OF BONES and CARRY ME TO MY GRAVE

The cover of Rise from These Dark Waters features an elven figure in silver armor amidst a background of shadowy skulls.

I had a blast at the Columbus Book Festival this past weekend. I sold a good amount of books, gained a lot of new readers, and had people come to see me specifically, which is awesome! A rainstorm even came through Saturday and we had to close up the tent with customers in it.

Found this baby bird at the dog park. The branches of the tree were out of reach, so I picked him up (he fell asleep in my hand), then put him in a safer spot where all the dogs wouldn't try to play with him. Then made him a little nest with leaves and twigs.

The StokerCon hotel had this weird room (probably weren't supposed to be in there) that contained possible non-Euclidean geometry and a stage whose lights had been on all week and held an open tome in Hebrew. The room led to liminal back hallways and a rusted portal in one wall.
