(Has audio. Listen along!) -- "Pessimistic" (shorthanded) | © A.T. Pike | April 30, 2026 Life sucks and then you die. We just get better at hiding it. How has life changed for you in the past 5… 10… 20 years? Such a long stretch— and a blink at the same time. #AmWriting

Not a great day. 🙁 But I’m still here. That’s enough for now.

One of my favorite lines I’ve ever written. Some words stay. — A.T. Pike

Re: The Werewolf of the Castle (WIP) Have you ever written something that made you cry? I’ve felt that with my poetry, but never with fictional characters… #NoSpoilers, but a scene near the end broke one of them. And while writing it… it broke me too. I hope that feeling reaches readers someday.

Warm coffee on a cool Sunday~. Happy Sunday, everyone. #Coffee #authorlife #happysunday

Quick update on my next book, *The Werewolf of the Castle*. I’m rebuilding it from a 10-year-old draft. It finally feels like a real story now. Something with structure. With weight. Something with more "bite" to it. 🐺 Now comes: the rewrite. I think you’re gonna like where it’s going. #Writing

Don't be a fool. Don't pay for reviews. It will only end in heartache for you. Buying, or incentivizing, reviews is against Amazon Terms of Service. Bad reviews will be removed, your page will be blocked from new reviews, or your entire book can get taken down. DON'T. DO. IT!

Just finished reading the newest Goodreads reviews for my book. 🤯 Honestly? I’m blown away. 🥲 Thank you to everyone who’s read, rated, or reviewed my work. It truly means a lot. 💕 Goodreads link below 👇

“How did your first book prepare you for your second?” Honestly? It didn’t. Life Through the Eyes of a Wolf was a collection. The Werewolf of the Castle is my first real dive into characters, dialogue, a full story. It’s new, challenging… and I love it. I’m writing this one for myself first.

A simple Friday check-in. Hope you had a good day. With the winter weather coming through, stay safe and warm. Just saying hi — and bye for now. 🤍

Unlike Tom Cotton, I don't answer to party bosses or corporate lobbyists. Cotton’s record is defined by rubber-stamping endless wars and expanding government surveillance. I’m offering a different path. Let’s trade the status quo for real liberty. #Arkansas

The Minister claims he’s listening to parents, but the facts speak for themselves. Funding for special edu staff is going down—leaving kids without the access and support they deserve—but somehow this govt can find $5 billion to spend on allowing private jets to land on Toronto’s waterfront. #onted

Breath of Fire III powered through the PlayStation in taking advantage of its hardware while keeping much of its familiar formula grounded. For some, BoF3 was a solid entry despite Capcom playing it somewhat safe. But for other dragon fans, it became another memorable, fire-breathing classic!
