Hey, dudes. If you would like a copy of Ragged Museum for Christmas, or some other holiday, for you or someone in your life for whom you have mixed feelings, well, tough. The books aren't printed. They will be soon, though. In the meantime, if you get the book before Christmas I will send you one of these IOUs to hold a place on your shelf until you get the book around Groundhog Day. Happy hunting. #books #stories #fantasy #rabblerouser #ShinySyndrome #metalhead #raggednetwork #RaggedMuseum https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BVH1hF2GU/?igshid=1l9eprifhdlj4

Not sure why, but I have written a lot of stories about werewolves. I don't read that many stories about werewolves, but maybe that's why. I think werewolves are cool and I want better stories about them. Ragged Museum has, like, three stories featuring werewolves. So here's a heavy metal werewolf for you, drawn by some messy dude. #metalhead #ShinySyndrome #stories #books #raggednetwork #RaggedMuseun #writer #werewolf #UntidyStories (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Gbx6Xl35V/?igshid=15fn5jhpich4n

Decided to write to another author I am particularly smitten with. Tim Powers writes stories that smear the paint between fantasy and history. A lot of his novels are adequate alternative explanations for odd events in history. These are two of my favorite books by him. The Drawing of the Dark is an Arthurian legend set during the 1529 Siege of Vienna. The Anubis Gates is a story about a cult of Egyptian mystics coping with some magic that went funny during the Napoleonic Wars. Both are good books. I haven't read anything by Tim I don't like, really. #books #stories #fantasy #rabblerouser #ShinySyndrome #metalhead https://www.instagram.com/p/B4u6krbFl4S/?igshid=10h1k5im5zdla

This is The City and the City my China Miéville. It's one of my formative books. The way this story is told, the way China uses words, changed how I tell stories. I decided to write to China today and tell him so. Weird feeling. I hope he reads my letter. #metalhead #ShinySyndrome #rabblerouser #stories #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sfpd0Fu0k/?igshid=ub65pn6bahg0

I am recruiting spies to participate in a misguided venture. I can promise neither lucre nor heartbreak. For certain, there will be one thing: there will be glory. Interested? #metalhead #ShinySyndrome #stories #community #writer #branding #rabblerouser #raggednetwork (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-b4WVFv2Z/?igshid=19w8e7t4fj95q

I am writing a blog about #AmericanGods. I have written about it before. Probably will again. Lots of #storytelling lessons in it. #metalhead #ShinySyndrome #rabblerouser (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Ih_w5lpit/?igshid=6r776qxgzrqq

Three conversation starters for the terminally self-conscious. - A New Definition of Pen Pal (and it's probably not what you think) - The Key to the Human Condition - An Announcement about Culture (possibly an interesting one) #metalhead #ShinySyndrome #stories #community #writer #books https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mgwKpF8wV/?igshid=1aq2mswr9kjjj

New video on YouTube, where I am called Oliver Blakemore. I want to hear about the most irritating experiences you've had with books. #metalhead #ShinySyndrome #stories #writer https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cI_RxFlbe/?igshid=1ufc798lmivy0

I feel like Instaspam hijacked my angle, with their "stories" idea. Oh well. Let's try it. Oliver muses on... The permissibility of das jokes. The Cult of Adult. And an announcement that's too late and too little. #ShinySyndrome #metalhead #Stories #writer #adulting #ZeldaWilliams #dadjokes https://www.instagram.com/p/B2WyULJFmBa/?igshid=1vz5sw89vvept

I have a huge crush on #JohnleCarré and his #spy #novels and #espionage #fiction. His sideways gracefulness gives me a style and subtlety to rise towards. I don't feel like I have the power to #write with the subtle bluntness of his books. That won't stop me from aiming that way. #ShinySyndrome #writer https://www.instagram.com/p/B16oQ7Blzmz/?igshid=mn7xjces5o4n

Did a video on storytelling. I am still figuring out how to use Instaspam for, like, sharing things. Anyway, it's on my YouTube channel. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mKm6EFYkp/?igshid=1fn74s6xylrpq

I ain't usually sentimental, and I am not today either. It was pretty dope to go to a punk show with two of my brothers and ny dad, though. (Tagged you, Nike, so you can show dad.) R.A.M.O.N.E.S. Ramones! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fEb_1lubw/?igshid=m0dd1c9y2mxo
