This one goes out to my enemies. To the haters and clout-chasers. To the fair-weather friends, and those who never bothered to pretend. To everyone who told me “You can’t. You won’t. Don’t even try.” I couldn’t have done it without you. ❤️

A trans reader came to a DARKDAWN launch with a copy of NEVERNIGHT I’d signed back in 2016. Had me cross out their deadname, replace it with their chosen name, then looked me in the eye and said “I wouldn’t be here if not for this book.” Moment like that changes your life

Not sure who needs to hear this. But here goes. Ten years ago, I was working a dead end job, writing a book in secret and feeling stupid for even bothering, querying agents with no real hope of getting published and shooting a million to one in the dark.

J.R.R Tolkien died in 1973. Reverse that number, you get 3791. 3 rings for the elven kings under the sky 7 for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone 9 for mortal men, doomed to die 1 for the dark lord on his dark throne 😮

I’ve said it before, but anyone working in YA today owes Stephenie Meyer a massive debt. The Twilight books (and HP) brought an entire generation of people back/into reading, and many of them stayed (Still on my boy Damon tho, just sayin)

My wife and I never baby talk to our son. After his sitter went missing, we learned not to incur his ire. My son is 3 and can carry on a full conversation with Elder Ones beyond the edge of time and sanity. My daughter is 2 and already knows the song that will unmake the world.

My wife and I never baby talk to our kids. We use full sentences and a wide vocabulary including complex words. My son is 3 and can carry a full conversation. Adults at family gatherings are shocked at his social aptitude. My daughter isn’t even 2 and she uses 4-syllable words.

This equation is simple, people. You can have one of two worlds: 1. A world where regular people can make a living making art 2. A world where art becomes the sole province of people so rich that they don't need income from it If you want 1, pay for art If you want 2, steal it

Books (and authors) with low sales get especially hurt by piracy. I understand the money and location/country argument. I really do. But just consider before you hit download: "Do I want more books by this author?" If the answer is yes, then look for other ways to read the book.
