Hey there, all you cool new ! I'm Ian: author, meme aficionado, caffeine enthusiast, and shiftless layabout. I know it can be overwhelming so here are a few tags specifically for the :

Pin them into their own column and voila, you have a group of potential friends just waiting to meet you and talk about the same stuff that interests you!*

Found on the Facebooks. What are you? I switch between True Plantser and Neutral Plotter, depending on the project.

Good morning, ! Apparently, my editor was quite, uh, moved by my latest project: "This might be my favorite thing of yours I've ever read. You're so clearly in your element here. The concepts were incredibly clever, the dialogue fantastic. I didn't have a ton of critiques to make, because you wrote a very tight story with a satisfactory ending...
...I demand more Jackrabbit forever.
Also I'm now hungry for bread and cheese."

Hey, ! I'm sure most of you already do this, but if you read a book, please do at least the absolute minimum and give it a star rating. I know writing reviews can seem like an onerous chore, but every little bit helps. On the other hand, if you write an actual review, it boosts the rating in search algorithms on sites that use them (unlike ). Anything helps us , so thank you!

Decided it was time for an official change. I have dropped my original cover for Just Cause in favor of the one designed for the Collector's Hardcover Edition. It just looks better overall.

Good afternoon, ! I try to avoid self-serving posts as a rule, but today is May 5th, also known as Cinco de Mayo, and an excellent day to pick up a copy of my self-contained book about teen superheroes trying to do the right thing in the face of great adversity. amazon.com/dp/B07NKP7W28

These poor teens in my are so desperately in love with each other, and every time they start making out, they get interrupted.

Just like real life.

So anyone who needs a break from or a distraction, I do have a gazillion ebooks and audiobooks ready to provide you with cheap thrills. Search your favorite source for "Ian Thomas Healy" and you'll find them.

I'm only about 500 words from hitting 70k on the Roast Wyvern book. Feels like it's going well. It took me almost 69k words before any characters vomited (this is an inside joke with me and one of my friends and fellow Just Cause Universe authors).

Feels like a good day to be at work, since the rain is going to shut down construction today and maybe tomorrow too.

I am blazing along on Roast Wyvern and Other Recipes, an epic, low fantasy quest novel more about the gathering of ingredients than fighting monsters and getting treasure. I'm about 65k into it and it will probably be 100k when it's done. Just another epic fantasy doorstop.

Cover art for my next book, Jackrabbit: Rinse and Repeat! Will be out sometime in June (final date TBD).

In my fantasy world, if you see a group (squad? Flock?) of Halflings, somebody is going to die a nasty death, because when you're only two feet tall, you use dirty tricks against your opponents, and that means poison.

Tonight, I wrote a scene full of romantic tension over the lancing of a boil on a horse's flank. Also, there's a Gnome suffering from withdrawal shitting his brains out in the bushes. This is the good stuff, folks.

A big hearty welcome to all you new ! What are you working on? What do you write?

Imagine if Lord of the Rings was a quest not to destroy an artifact but to acquire ingredients for a fantastic dish. That's my current , working title Roast Wyvern and Other Recipes.
