Hi, Tom here. I'm a SFF author & editor
Here's my books (some free)
and editing services (developmental & proofreading)
🧵(1/?)
It’s nice when our aging parents take a new interest, however small.
Like my dad’s had some health issues, but he’s been wearing a new cologne. It’s a nice fresh scent, but still very him.
Anyway, I used his bathroom yesterday. The cologne is Febreze. Lavender.
A man of taste.

>Arthurian story with knight trying to win back his wife's favor
>later befriends a lion that helps him take down a giant, knights, and demons >basically combined The Hero's Journey with Pokémon 500+ years before Lucas and Tajiri
>no cool modern adaptations
Absolute tragedy.

Welcome! Umbra Magazine is a new magazine publishing hardboiled, genre-weird mysteries, crime and detective fiction. We are now gathering submissions for our first two issues and flash fiction as well. Submit your work at umbramag.com/submit

When you get right down to it, you can do anything you want in fiction. There are no rules, only popular conventions.
The name of the game is getting away with it. If the readers didn’t like it, you didn’t get away with it.
Write your heart out.
Just to be clear, everyone: the dispute is over mixing different grammatical persons—like having half the book in first-person and the other half in third-person. There is nothing wrong with having multiple first-person POVs from different characters, because the overarching narrative style remains consistent from beginning to end.

The cult classic mecha anime Big O was made by the same Japanese staff who did batman the animated series so it had alot of American comic book inspired influence! Go watch it, it's one of my all time faves

I’m eight sales away from thirty sales of The Wish and the Demon this year. I’m really proud of this novel and alas it’s one of my most hard to sell ones. So, if you like urban fantasies with demons, vampires and loyal, close siblings, check it out! ♥️

Nice reference for the protagonist of The Long Nights: Joe Kellerman.
He means well. Really, he does. Even if he’s equal parts rough around the edges, and pathetic.
Ch 15 of The Long Nights audiobook …. Hmmmm, no. Not like that. Too flat. Much too flat…
(It’s me. I’m the narrator.)
