L.J. Stanton, the Pedantic Scribe 🍉

Do you love #DisabilityInclusion, a #diverse read, #epicfantasy? If you loved #FourthWing, #GideontheNinth, or the #Daevabad Trilogy, then you're EXACTLY the reader I'm looking for!

Guess who has the proofread copy of THE PANTHEON PROPHET in her inbox??? There is still time if you want to be an #arcreader, just give me a shout and we'll make it happen. (If you love dark fantasy, this series is for you)

@StevenBrust "What are the unexpected downsides?" Followed by "What are the unexpected upsides?" Then an interrogation about what powers they have while debating if vampirism is worth it. (Baldur's Gate taught me I have a very bad track record when it comes to power dangled in front of me)

You meet a vampire. Because [insert miracle here] you are convinced the person is actually a vampire. What is your first question?

@BrandonTKetchum Congrats! That's exciting and oh man, I'm stoked for that book.

I have a story in this 😀

Is the death of a character always lazy fridging, or an important exploration of trauma? Come vote, and discuss! Pictured is where I keep the names of the dearly departed characters in my office. ko-fi.com/polls/Death-in… #KofiPollChallenge

"As a Muslim and a South Asian man, I don't think I will EVER have a comparable experience to reading through a fantasy novel and seeing…myself represented on the page. It is done with the utmost accuracy and respect. This is representation and research done right."-- Zaid Hasad

The long-awaited PAPERBACK EDITION is coming June 1st! "Politics, religion, magic, and they all make sense, and they're all engaging. Put me on the 'can't wait for the next one' list." -- Steven Brust, author of Lyorn: A Vlad Taltos Novel

I just added a new post on Ko-fi! ko-fi.com/B0B4TN4LL?view…

Annual reminder that if you’re creating AAPI book lists and only show East Asian books, you’ve missed the point. South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander authors and books exist too, and we’re damn tired of being ignored.

@StevenBrust Ohhhhh Antares is gonna be mad.

In other I news, I had a minor medical issue last week and the doctor put me on steroids. Alas, this ends my dream of competing in the Olympics. And I've spent so many years preparing for the marathon napping event. Oh well, life goes on.

@jessikamittens Him! We even found his person’s “lost dog” posts on Facebook, so he got to go home after only one night with animal control.

@stanton_lj Thank you for helping him/her

Much to the dismay of my friends & family, I never learned not to run into traffic after a dog. In other TOTALLY UNRELATED NEWS, this pup is now no longer running on the freeway.
