Today, June 25, is publication day for Ghost of the Neon God. Incredibly proud of this novella, which I wrote haltingly over five years. I pitched it as 'Mad Max meets Johnny Mnemonic' (& it's set in the same universe as 36 Streets). Time for a whisky. @titanbooks.bsky.social @quellist1.bsky.social

YAAAAAASSSSS. If you haven’t checked S1 out, you need to. Personally, I’ve never been into League of Legends, nor really animated films, but THIS is one of the few that I could not stop watching (see Astartes and Blue-Eyed Samurai for the other two on this short list).

I was hooked, bought it, and spent the wait, the flight, and wherever I ended up in a fantasy tunnel vision. That book was The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie. I will read and very likely enjoy anything he puts out, and the first chapter of THE DEVILS are no exception. I can’t wait for this book. 3/3

I am so fortunate to have teammates like Fab who send surprises like this half way across the world! As a youth I allowed myself to be bullied out of enjoying fantasy. As a bored adult in an airport I picked up a paperback on a whim and read a chapter. 1/3
