Once someone gets a tattoo based on my books, then I’ll know I’ve made it. “What do we say to the god of death?”

Thanks to the fine folks at shirtkong you can pick up this bad boy for the next 30 days. Go to my website or Facebook for the link.
These guys have been awesome in supporting local businesses during Covid-19, offering free designs and $10 from every shirt sold to the businesses without any upfront cost. I was a little late to the party, but they still managed to fit me in. So pick up your shirt and start #trolling!

We’ve all been affected in different ways, but it’s important to remember that we are all in this together. .

I had this delicious brew the other night and forgot to post. One thing I love about craft beer is how cool the art is on most of the cans. .

I forgot to post about this when it came in, but this was another of my prizes for winning the Gamelit Society Fantasy Football league for the second year. Radioactive Revolution by Richard Hummel. Hummel is the co-commissioner of the league, a tough competitor, and a great writer.

I can’t wait for football season. I’m already in 3 fantasy leagues for the upcoming season. We are starting year two in my dynasty league, which should be a lot of fun. I came in third place despite making the playoffs with a losing record. I’m also testing out Best Ball for the first time. And then I have the Gamelit Society which is a redraft league. That one has a special place in my heart, not only because I’m the 2x champ, but because the prizes are signed copies and other cool stuff. I like winning money, but you can’t put a price on a bitter dedication from a fellow author. .

I spent most of the day out in the rain delivering groceries for Instacart. For the past month, I’ve been doing that full time instead of writing. The launch of Sentenced to Troll 3 really took a hit during the pandemic so I was forced to change things up. I wanted to put some money away while I could so I won’t be so stressed in the coming weeks. It’s been an incredible experience helping out people in a time of need, but it’s also given me even more appreciation that for the past year and a half, I’ve made a living doing what I love. Starting Monday, I’ll be back at work on my next project, Path to Villainy, and I can’t wait to show you the cover art by the talented bo.de Stay tuned! And stop by my Patreon where you can pick up all 5 signed paperbacks for a special deal. .

Good morning, everyone! It’s a rainy Saturday he

Good morning, everyone! It’s a rainy Saturday here in St. Louis. What better way to start the morning than with a little yoga?

I’ve been dealing with some lower back pain recently, probably due to either sitting at a desk or being in a car for the majority of the day these past few weeks. And also not being able to do my normal workout at the gym. So I’m trying to loosen up those muscles. I’ve always enjoyed yoga. I find it great for the body and mind, but I don’t do it nearly as much as I should. I’d like to get in the habit of doing it every day to really reap the benefits. Some of my favorite instructors to watch on YouTube are badyogiofficial and yogawithadrienne. What about you? Do you do yoga? Do you have any channels you would recommend, or tips for lower back pain?

Growing up, I was always into art. I doodled in class, on the bus, or would spend hours drawing each night when I got home. Along with reading and video games, it offered me an escape. I don’t draw as much in my adult life, but I still have a great appreciation for art. My room is decorated with some amazing pieces I’ve collected over the years. I also have a fondness for murals and graffiti. Here are a few shots I took walking through my neighborhood in The Grove, St. Louis. .

Growing up, they said video games would rot your brain. Now, all those video games I played are what helps me pay the bills. So who’s laughing now?

Right now, I play a lot of Apex Legends. If you have a ps4, my gamertag is SL_Rowland.

What about you? What games do you play? What’s your preferred system?

As we delve deeper into my life as an author, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite drinks and food. Tonight I’m having this delicious oatmeal brown from 4handsbrewingco I’ll drink just about anything, but I really like darker beers, especially in the colder months. This one is incredibly smooth and delicious. And brewed right here in #stl. I can’t wait to check out the brewery once quarantine is over. .
