Just to let people know, The Siege of Eversun is free to buy and keep this weekend!

Pick up the kindle edition while you can!

I honestly think Delusions of Euphoria is my best work so far. Throughout my writing journey I have always been torn between keeping my writing easy to understand, or to follow what I truly want to write; not thinking about any audience.

When I read the greats like Blood Meridian or Infinite Jest, they have this elevation to them, a divine quality.

I remember playing Disco Elysium for the first time and that same sensation hit me, there will be no piece of media like this again. It's a unique experience.

I picked up writing as a hobby, because I enjoy it. I believe reading is the greatest piece of evidence for the human soul. Empathy, self-reflection, more knowledge of the world. These are just a handful of reasons why reading is so powerful.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, my next books are going to be serious. I'm still going to write entertaining books, but my fundamental core thinking is writing needs to be transformative. I want to read something and be a changed person.

This is what I aim to achieve.
Anyway, these are just some of my rambling thoughts I needed to write down.
