Matt Dinniman and I are going to church... and then straight to heII 🔥

After a long week of taking up the good fight against bare feet and defending my name against Matt Dinniman's baseless claim that I've been bought out by the Big Shoe lobby, I am just as surprised as you to announce that Matt Dinniman and I will be having a live conversation, in front of a very large audience, IN A CHURCH.

(And tickets go on sale tomorrow, so if you'll be in the area on Sept 2nd, RUN to Eagle Eye Book Shop's website to secure your seat!!!

If this turns out to be a coma dream, a simulation, or the result of a CERN-related timeline malfunction, please do NOT interfere. Just let me enjoy my absurdly specific hallucination in peace.

In all seriousness, I am beyond honored to be joining Matt Dinniman for a conversation ahead of Dragon Con. Matt is not only one of the most innovative voices in fantasy today, but also one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of knowing.

I'll be doing my best to ask questions he's never been asked before, and at least one question that makes him wonder why he invited me. (Though, apparently, I'm not allowed to ask anything about Angelina Jolie.)

Therefore, please consider this my formal request that nobody cancel me before September 2nd!

Can't Make It?

If you are too far to attend or unable to nab tickets, I'll be streaming the event live on Patreon for my Runemasters and Realm Walkers, and posting the recording after the fact for all other paid subscribers. So if you have not yet jumped aboard the Patreon bandwagon, now is a GREAT time to join! We've got brand-new Biscuit Origin stories, full chapters of Hematites & History (A&A #3), and live streams of all my panels and interviews, including my infamous MEN WRITING WOMEN panel!

You can find a full list of my 2026 events (and a few confirmed 2027 events) right here!

Other than me being dragged to heck in a handbasket at the Decatur FBC, the only other news I have for the moment is a reminder that we're currently running a gigundo summer sale on my website - no promo code needed!

Go forth and enjoy, my friends, before I invariably get canceled later this summer.

LOVE TO EVERYONE! 

*Except those who go to conventions barefoot*
