Alright, you guys. You know I am heavily biased towards liking my own work but this song, "Fang City," is my very favorite off the Autobiography of a Werewolf Hunter soundtrack. Give it a spin when you have just under three minutes, and tell me what you think!

My best works will never be commercial works. The ones I love most are hodge-podges and mish-mashes of genres and ideas, and in the immortal words of Michael Marshall Smith, they are "five kinds of shit in a one-shit tuba." If this nonsense appeals to you, please check the comments for links.

You know what I hate about the weak men/hard times cycle of thought? There's nothing there about GOOD men.

Listened to Grandma's Ashes for the first time today. Big-time reccy from me, goddamn. My favorite part was "Nightwalk" and "Flesh Cage" together, they are just two crazy sides of the same coin. Dig it, dig it. grandmas-ashes.bandcamp.com/album/bruxis...

Two different scammers sent me emails claiming to be wealthy German entrepreneur Maria Elisabeth Schaeffler and pledging to give me €1.5M. So I forwarded their emails to each other. Whoever wins gets my SSN and mother's maiden name.

You guys, I can personally guaran-fuckin-tee this book is worth your time and effort and your filthy, filthy lucre.

One out of sixteen J6 rioters have been arrested since for DV, DUI, CSAM, weapons charges and assault. The other fifteen are in ICE, probably.

You know, I just realized if I had sent all my Amazon deposits to a separate account and left it alone, I would have enough to pay for a book cover right now. Sigh.

All I'm saying is if Donald J. Trump wants his name on the Kennedy Center so bad, all he's got to do is take a ride through Dallas in a convertible.

MINTY FRESH is a great read, and indie AF

If you're the kind of goth that enjoys summer weather, you probably need a sickass beach read in the form of a fast-paced, foul-mouthed pulp about vampires, werewolves, and B-movie evil scientists performing monster eugenics. (If you're not goth, that's okay! You can get one, too.) 🌈📚💙🩸📚

Minty Fresh

Araminta Chase is a screw-up. Falling out of a window to avoid someone is business as usual. Landing on a vampire is a new one. And the vampire wants to know exactly why Minty was where she was, when ...

Claus von Stauffenberg's birfday has been floated to me as a possible date. It's not bad, and it beats waiting until next July.

The best time to release OPERATION VALKYRIE would have been July 20, 2024, the 80th anniversary of the attempt. When's the next best time?

Compared to the pure fucking POETRY that is the Constructicons and their transformation to Devastator, Menasor is ASS. Just... straight cheeks, as the children say. Bruticus is okay, though.

What are five things in your upcoming release? • post-apoc Western • pop culture avatars • coming of age • ritual MMA fight • supernatural brawls

This got a lot of replies, and now I have to clarify that I need a *free* beta reader. Sigh. I know, I know, I should have said that the first time around.

Anybody know where I can find some beta readers looking for something they can sink their teeth into?

My friends, if you are not already inundated with people on one side of the political spectrum saying things about the 14th Amendment like "that's not what they meant when they wrote it so SCOTUS is wrong," the entire debate about what the first section means is available, starting on page 2890 of…

Thom Brannan @thombrannan.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

If these fucking people try to push a modernist rewording of the 14th Amendment, every Democrat who doesn't have the same for the 2nd READY should be voted the fuck out.

Re-reading WATCHMEN, and it's so odd to stumble across Robert Deschaines in the second half. The world is set up so that Dr. Manhattan is the only person with real-live superpowers and it's extraordinary and singular…except this psychic whose head was stolen. I'm sure that won't come back later.

Gonna aside June and July to read comics, and I have been thinking about how much I think about some creators. I have historically held Mark Millar to be a one-trick pony, but then saw a series called BIG GAME, which tied all his various series together, which is something I've been thinking about.

As soon as I opened Twixter today: "Don’t lose your 50% discount on Premium" Where's my GO FUCK YOURSELF button? I seem to have misplaced it.

I've read this, so I'm obviously cooler than you. Catch up.

I find it hypocritical to give advice, or even thoughts, on writing when I am not actually writing something, myself, so I'm faced with a choice: 1 - write something 2 - shut the fuck up This is hard. SO. Hard.

Well, the first quarter of the year is over, and my reading list sits at 22 books. Almost half of them were pretty slim (Parker and Spenser novels) but this is a definite improvement over last year's 7 books at this time. This is encouraging.

Five (5) minutes browsing in r/WritingWithAI and am struggling to comprehend the mind-numbing lack of irony and/or self-awareness.

"Show, don't tell," is the show, don't tell of critique and advice if it's not accompanied by an example. Listen here. If you feel the need to tell somebody they need to show instead of telling, then they already don't know what you mean, and just telling them that is FUCKING USELESS.

I figured out which ex-president Trump talked to who said they wish they'd done it. 45. That's the only one it could have been.

Is there a school of thought which says Paul is the antichrist? Because that would make sense to me.

Well, I finished it. I finished SANDWORMS OF DUNE. Is this how the Game of Thrones fans felt about that last season? I'm so sorry if it is. Nobody deserves this.

See, shit like this pisses me off. How old were you in 1998 when the bombs were being dropped by Clinton? How old were you EVERY YEAR of BOTH Obama's terms when he dropping bombs in the Middle East?
