Hi all! I'm very active across the internet but haven't seen Goodreads in a while. I realized I should be doing something to track what I'm reading in various series at the very least so I popped by.

As for me -- all is going well. 2025 was some of my biggest sales numbers ever, and 2026 is shaping to be even better.

Just cranking out books! Space Fleet Academy hit #1 and has my best launch ever.

Quotes by Jon Del Arroz (?)

“Julius frowned, staring at the holo. There had to be a way. "I hate to say this, as it usually only leads to ruin, but we could ask the legislature for ideas." "Are you sure you want to deal with one of their sessions? They can get rowdy, and it might lead to some bad optics for the news media," Erin said.”

“The God of War should not be shoving a shopping cart piled with all my earthly belongings through a heat wave in New York City. Yet here I was, doing exactly that. Fuck me, I’d come to a low estate, and I was bitter about it. I growled to myself and aimed a much-diminished bolt of power at a man standing at a hot dog cart, and I felt a stab of gratification when he began yelling at the vendor over some imagined missing ingredient. It was cheap, but it was what I had anymore.”
― Jon Del Arroz, Mars: Planetary Anthology
