Ira is releasing for Switch 2 today with an expanded story. I really enjoyed writing the updated stories for the companions and drawing on Asian mythology for it. Hope you'll check it out.

Had a lot of fun in this interview with Gamereactor at Celsius 232 (maybe a little too much based on how hard I'm laughing in the pic lol) as we talked about the Mecha books and how working in animation influenced the way I approached mecha piloting.

Celsius 232 Festival was special, an incredible celebration of creativity & human spirit. It was an honor to take part this year & meet so many amazing fans, writers, publishers, & more. Thank you all for an amazing experience. I already miss Spain! (pics from my talk/signing!)

One of the highlights of Celsius Festival was meeting @geekfurioso.bsky.social in person! I loved his EUJ review and am thrilled we got to do a fun interview where we asked each other questions about SF, Spain, video games, alternate history, mechas, and more! Coming soon!

Loved this pic from Angela from my panel at @celsius232.bsky.social about AI, science fiction and horror. It was intense, fun, and loved how interactive the session got with really great comments and questions from everyone. Thank you again to everyone who attended!

Had an incredible time last night giving a presentation and signing copies of EUJ and Mecha at the @gigamesh.com bookstore with @toliol.eurosky.social. Got to meet a lot of incredible fans and am so grateful that so many came out despite the tremendous heat. Thank you all so much!

Hi friends in Spain, excited to be visiting @gigamesh.com @toliol.eurosky.social on July 9th for a book chat at 5PM. Also thrilled that Imperio Mecha Samurai is getting renewed by @novacifi.bsky.social. Can't wait to visit Barcelona and Celsius after that! Will @geekfurioso.bsky.social be there?

Teaser trailer for Ira, the fantasy rogue lite based on Asian mythology I wrote. It's getting ported for Switch 2 and localized for Japanese release, and will include some fun story updates expanding the lore. I'm excited for the updates and also love the theme song by Kinetic Studios. Coming soon!

My new short story is coming out in Kaguya Issue #8, themed "Small Objects," and releasing in print on March 31st in Japan. It's called "Shizuoka no Yume" and is a loosely based on time I spent in Shizuoka. Honored to be included in the issue (and it's gotten some really nice media reviews too)

Playing through Kid Icarus with my kid. She's gotten up to 1-4 and has come across the Eggplant Wizards for the first time. Her reaction of hate and dread is pretty much the same I had as a kid, lol.

The Ryobondo Bookstore in Japan included United States of Japan in their new "kaijiu" section/category. Good company to be in!

I fell in love with the city of Shizuoka when I visited and wrote a short story about my trip there. I'm so honored that Shizuoka's biggest newspaper, Shizuoka Shimbun and Yahoo Japan, wrote a wonderful review of the short story. It's such a beautiful place and I highly recommend visiting.

Just renewed/relicensed Spanish rights for Estados Unidos de Japan (EUJ) w/ @penguinlibros.bsky.social @novacifi.bsky.social! Honored to continue to share the book w/ Spanish readers. Big thx Natalia Cervera @toliol.bsky.social @gigamesh.com @libreriacyberdark.bsky.social @geekfurioso.bsky.social

I didn't realize there were other flavors of spam- maple, jalapeño, tocino, hickory smoke, gochujang, and hot and spicy.

Pix'n Love comes out with beautiful books & I'm honored to have contributed an essay about Snatcher to this wonderful book about Hideo Kojima written by Tarak Chami and Rami Bououd. Thanks so much to Tarak for inviting me to contribute (also includes a foreword by Junji Ito!).

These paintings by William Jacob inspired by Kill or Be Killed (and done for Cam Lasky's new record) are incredible. I keep on seeing new details every time I see them and love how raw and intense they feel. Thank you William and Cam!

Very excited to dive into these two games, Bark Magic and Head Hauntcho by @radishgames.com! They look amazing!

Missile Man reminds me of someone...

Went to a retro game store and saw a sealed copy of Gladius for $64.99. Brought back really fond memories. I worked on the characters and cutscenes, setting up camera angles and stuff. It was a great game to work on! Can't believe it's over 20 years since its release!

Excited to share I have a new thriller/horror book coming out from AWA Studios, "Kill Or Be Killed." It's illustrated by Mike Choi (X-Men, X-Force) & in collab with Roy Lee's Vertigo (It, Ring, Minecraft) for Aug release. It's about AI, chatbots, & social media. Love the haunting cover by Mike.

I'm always happy when people send me photos of my books in the wild and it's nice seeing all three books like this. Thanks Ryan!
