It seems once again, Christopher Nolan can't miss. Can't wait to watch this.
The files have passed QA, the yeti has been contained in an MP3, and somehow the booze-laden adventure didn't crash audiobook servers. Next week, Whiteout will finally be available as an audiobook. I just listened and I am hyped. Stuart killed it. He brought my characters to life. #Audiobooks

Today, I've spent far too much time thinking about characters in Star Wars that just needed corrective lenses. Jabba? Near-sighted, definite stigmatism. Throw some glasses on there, he's a lot less angry. Food for thought.

This week I had the chance to interview Stuart Bentley, narrator for my monster hunting series, The Nick Ventner Adventures. Comment below and I'll give you a free link to listen to A Man of the Mountain, the prequel. It has sasquatch, murder, and dark humor. #BookSky #Audiobooks #Writing
Looks like Spielberg is back doing what Spielberg does best. So excited to see this over the weekend. #Movies
TFW your players get you a cameo from Wayne Knight and he has to reconcile all the crazy sh** you did in the Dino Island campaign. Incredible. @sannish.net, how does it feel seeing your in-game actions hurt real life Wayne Knight? #DnD #TableTop #Cameo

To clarify, I am the one who is an animated version of Rick Moranis.
While the Voodoo Museum might be small, it clearly left an impression on me when I visited. This WIP is from the upcoming third book in the Nick Ventner Adventures. That is, will be, if I can ever finish this 3rd draft.
Escalation is all about "The Big Room", a mahogany-clad bunker where top brass decide who gets to press the big red button. books2read.com/u/bML2gV #BookSky #ShortStory #WritingCommunity
A lot of great categories I'd love to break into here :) #Writers #WritingCommunity, if you can help an indie author out and bump this post, I'll be forever in your debt.
Nothing like a secret bathroom entrance at a seedy necromancer bar.
A Man of the Mountain might be short, but it packs a sasquatch-sized punch. Want to find out what happens when The History Channel clashes with real monster hunters in a small town? Ebook/Audiobook links: books2read.com/u/mdZgBd #BookReview #BookSky

I took off work and went to @woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social with my camera today. Beautiful day, animals were all out and having a great time this morning. If you're in #Seattle, the new red panda exhibit is incredible (though not featured in my pictures as it was v sleepy).
This one goes out to all my creatives that have recently hit a slump or a spiral. Full episode: open.spotify.com/episode/7JOi... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #WritingCommunity #Authors #ADHD
