Hi Everyone!

I forgot GoodReads existed. It appears as if I have a few followers on here. Are you active? What are you reading?

If you don't know, I just came out with a new book, The Demon's Eye, which is a sword & sorcery classic fantasy. I think you'll really love it.

Thanks everyone for the tremendous support. There's a lot coming this year!

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
