What’s the matter

STOP IT

THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS is out today! By chapter three the novel sends its chosen one protagonist to group therapy, which should happen to every epic fantasy hero.

Hey, my book's out in the world at long last! I've collected some of the very nice things people have been kind enough to say about it, along with links to buy it in hardcover, ebook, or audiobook. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy it!

The Saint of Bright Doorsvajra.me The Saint of Bright Doors is my debut novel, out July 2023!

heartwarming: we gave these kids a dog

Severian from Book of the New Sun is every narrator from The Locked Tomb Harrow: insane, hallucinating, doesn’t ever know what’s real John Gaius: autobiography for the sake of his own legacy of violence, pretends he wasn’t evil the whole time Gideon: stupid hot for no damn reason Nona: loves dog

I'm finally reading The Book of the New Sun, and it explains to me quite succinctly why I have a job in this genre. I keep finding things in it that half my authors live on.

Once again, tracked changes have crashed Microsoft Word. This time on page 1 of the book. Might take a while, gang!

Things I've seen while editing THE WEST PASSAGE: a thread without context of unknown duration. (BlueSky version)

formative text

2016 hugo awards should be taught in every school

WGA has been on strike for over a month, and last night SAG-AFTRA authorized their own strike! Now is a great time to donate to the Entertainment Community fund to support them. Solidarity forever! https://secure2.convio.net/afa/site/Donation2?df_id=2857&2857.donation=form1&mfc_pref=T

SAG-AFTRA members have voted 97.91% in favor of a strike authorization.

Back at it in a whole new world, the old one burnt to ashes. Once again the trumpets call, and I hear the heralds' decree: "Carl, post in a way that builds your brand."

End of feed.
