dark lords are best :)
First off, Django Wexler's How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying releases today! I had the pleasure of reading this in e-ARC, and now you can join Davi's side or else read it too!
Davi is the Chosen One, but she keeps dying in her efforts to defeat the Dark Lord, and keeps coming back as the timeline resets. At last a brilliant idea occurs to her: not only is she going to join the winning side, she's going to be the winning side. Aided only by try-die-reload cycles that give her a painful foreknowledge of future outcomes and centuries of low cunning and cynicism, can she change her fate?
Here's a teaser:
Life #237
It takes me two weeks to die, locked in my own dungeon.
Not for lack of trying on my part, mind, but orders have come down from the Dark Lord that the princess isn’t allowed to pop off early. I found a bit of chicken bone in my soup once, but the spoilsports got to me before I could choke on it.

In other news, congrats to the Moonstorm ARC winners: Darcey, Dusty, Royden, Lani, Marisa, and Alia! These are all in the mail on their way to y’all.
Currently I’m hard at work on Code & Codex while working on Ninefox comic nonsense on the side, among other things, so catch y’all later. :)
Yours in calendrical heresy,
