Where I’ve Been and What I’m Doing

Hello hello! It’s been a minute since I posted here. Almost a year, in fact. I didn’t mean to neglect my blog for so long, but I started a newsletter to replace it, and this place fell by the wayside. So it goes. The first half of this post will be where to find me, and the second will be a wrap-up of my recent releases.

I have a newsletter that I’m using for all my publishing news. New books, cove

Honestly, if you're willing to meet these stories on their own terms—with their racism, gender essentialism, adverbs, etc, which are to be expected of the time, and in some aspects not awfully distinguishable from some contemporary fantasy I've read— ...more

Quotes by Arden Powell  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“They paused on the threshold and Johnny turned to him, his gaze searching. He looked less like the devil then, his eyes wide and earnest, but Milton wrote that Lucifer knew how to cry.”
Arden Powell, The Bayou

“They say the devil comes dressed as everything you've ever dreamed of. I never really imagined what it meant until I met you.'
'Should I be flattered?'
'I don't think it's a compliment.”
Arden Powell, The Bayou

“His only shortcoming was a lamentable lack of grey matter, which he took in stride, cheerfully proclaiming that while he might not have two brain cells to rub together, he was dim enough that he didn't notice their lack.”
Arden Powell, The Bachelor's Valet
