In 2000, the S&P 500 had an elevated trailing P/E of 26, well above its long-term avg. of 14. For the next 11 years, the S&P 500 delivered zero returns! The current S&P 500 trailing P/E is 30 – even higher than 2000. History rhymes. For standardized performance visit our website.

The island of Croí has languished under oppression and cultural erasure for centuries. When its gods return, titanic and feral, a Rising begins. Only reluctant saint Sister Wake dares to ask are the gods here to save us, or are we trading one set of monsters for another? (2/3)

My first novel for adults - SISTER WAKE - is coming in January! The beginning of an epic fantasy trilogy published by the stellar @hodderscape.bsky.social, SISTER WAKE is about colonialism, vengeance and giant fuck-off monsters. (1/3)

Welcome to DCU, welcome to Dublin, welcome to Ireland, to friends from @RutgersU, @RutgersEnglish. A great transatlantic adventure in storytelling gets underway.
Thrilled to welcome writers from @RutgersEnglish to DCU for summer school alongside DCU MACW students. Great to host Alex Dawson at @DCUSchoolofEng. @samblakebooks and @propermiss, our fantastic first two guests. Much, much more to come in days ahead.

I wrote a piece on ADHD and the process of trying to figure out what's 'you' and what's 'the condition.' (spoiler - it's all you, but that doesn't mean it's not the condition)
Proud.

There's something nice about finishing draft 1 of TALES OF DARKISLE II AND getting to announce the launch for Book I all in the same day! (also I'm wrecked I wrote 8000 words today, send me coffee) But I'll be recovered by the 24th (I hope) come celebrate in @BooksUpstairs!
