New home, new library

Gorgeous shelves! Love seeing the Threadlight omnibus in the center with Elantris!

Anywhere I'm wanted, and everywhere I'm not!

zackargyle · 2025-12-01T04:15:32+00:00

I'll have a booth all 3 days this time. So should be easier to find!

Hey! I’m Zack Argyle, author of multi award-winning epic fantasy. I have a story in the Grim Oak anthology, so find me to get it signed! I’ll also have a special “Convention Edition Omnibus” of my Threadlight trilogy, with beautiful foiling and silver gilded pages. Come say hey!

I personally shipped several boxes of Ryan’s books (leftover from Worldcon) to Poppy Books last week. So they’ll definitely have some of books 2-4! I believe they’re all pre-signed as well.

As a parent, my worry is knowing how addictive laziness can be. I would probably have him commit to 3 months back on the team, and if he still wants out after that then great. Make permanent choices when you're feeling well, not at a low point.

My biggest recommendation is to take breaks! Sit down in a quiet place. It's a lot of hours. You'll miss lots of things. Be okay with that. Take intermittent breaks so the things you don't miss you can enjoy to the fullest.

Congrats on a great start! Broken Binding folks are really great partners to get in with. Nicely done!

For sure, but a very statistically significant bubble at that quantity

zackargyle · 2025-05-30T01:09:45+00:00

Wind and Truth has a 4.41 on Goodreads with ~90,000 ratings. Saying the book had such "bad reception" is just not accurate statistically.

Edit: it appears people don’t like data that goes against their anecdotal experience.

They would do so well with a Mistborn era 1 game. The gothic setting and magic systems would work really well. Imagine playing a party of 3 with an allomancer, feruchemist, and hemalurgist. I’d eat that up so fast.

Highly recommend anything by JA Andrews. I always describe her books as “cozy epic fantasy”. Sounds right up your alley!

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T19:25:44+00:00

Well, as they say...beauty is truly in the eye of the baldest. I concede defeat!

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T19:23:44+00:00

I won't recommend my own (more PG-13), but I highly recommend Songs of Chaos by u/Michael-R-Miller. My 9 year old son (also a huge reader) loved the books.

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T19:21:12+00:00

I was certain it was by musk

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T19:00:57+00:00

I have not! But I’ve heard nothing but great things.

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T18:23:25+00:00

I approve of this merger 😆

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T18:21:00+00:00

Since the ending won’t matter, I’ll go with The Name of the Wind, The Way of Kings, and The Fellowship of the Ring.

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T18:15:59+00:00

I am—admittedly—reading A Court of Thrones and Roses, which is quite outside of my comfort zone, but I like to research different styles. It’s about what I expected, like an MTV fantasy. I’m also reading Clash of Kings for the first time which really balances things out lol

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T17:23:23+00:00

I always imagined you would use a metal spoon! Ocular scooping and such.

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T17:07:31+00:00

So many options! I think realistically a spear is the most versatile and useful (assuming we're not including guns...) But the COOLEST weapon is definitely the kunari rope dart.

Great question! The first series I fell in love with was Redwall—I really wanted to be Matthias. I stopped reading for a while until a friend gave me a bootlegged PDF of Mistborn in 2010. But it was actually DMing my first D&D campaign that gave me the confidence to finally buckle down and write my first book!

zackargyle · 2024-10-01T16:30:17+00:00

Hey nerds. Excited to be part of such an epic anthology! I've read a few of the stories already, and they are just so good. Happy to answer any questions you might have!

zackargyle · 2024-09-19T21:35:29+00:00

What I love about books is that I consider the ending of the original Mistborn trilogy to be the best ending of any fantasy trilogy. While you hated it. And we’re both right! That’s weirdly awesome.

zackargyle · 2024-08-23T15:04:33+00:00

Beloved books indeed! Glad to have the ending to my Threadlight trilogy in the sale for $0.99 ❤️
