Bored of your world?
Step into mine...
Join the Legion (my daily newsletter) for book updates, Q&As, and my obnoxious musings. You'll also get a FREE digital copy of The Apprentice—the prequel to my gritty fantasy series, The Divided Region:

No spam - only the best musings from D.J.J. Watson.
not convinced?
I get it.
You're hesitant to clutter your inbox — even for the chance to become a member of this exclusive cult clan.
Instead of serenading you with all the reasons why you should join, I'm going to give 5 reasons why you should NOT pledge your fealty to the Legion.
Ready?
HERE ARE 5 REASONS TO AVOID THIS EXCLUSIVE BROTHERHOOD:
1. I email daily.
Some folks think fiction authors are these quiet, Vitamin-D-deprived recluses, and for the most part... many are. Not me, however. I've got far too much to say and not enough time to spray it, so a daily cadence is a must. It keeps my fingers nimble, my spirit young, and my musings obnoxious somewhat interesting.
2. I’m unpredictable.
If you follow me on X (formerly Twitter), you’ve likely encountered my whimsical ways. One day, I might tweet about the trillions of galaxies in the observable universe and how pathetically insignificant we are. The next, I’m popping off at House of the Dragon fans. My thoughts are random, but there's always a takeaway. My emails? No different.
3. I’m cOnTrOvErSiAl.
If you haven't guessed by now that I come without trigger warnings, then let this part hammer it home. I think vegans are hypocrites, believe AI is cool, and I really (REALLY) don't give two Hell's bells for your pronouns. If any of the above bothers you even a smidge, then lean in. Closer. Closer. "Piss off."
4. I’m not your typical author.
I didn’t come out of the womb with a book in hand. In fact, I didn’t start reading properly until my 20s. Just know that my path here wasn’t “normal,” and neither is the Legion.
5. My books are NOT available on Amazon or other book retailers.
Why does this matter? There's no point investing your time in an author who values creative freedom over convenience. Too many careers have been throttled due to the social, political, and technological whims of corporate conglomerates. Not me. My readers deserve better. They warrant unfettered, unfiltered, unbastardised stories as the muse conveys them to me — warts and all.
(Rest assured, you can still very easily download my books onto your Kindle, Kobo, Nook, or other e-reading device.)
So there you have it...
5 reasons why joining the Legion might NOT be for you.
If you’re left unsure about subscribing, let me save you the stress: don’t.
However, if you’re a bit like me — curious, slightly rebellious, and hungry for humour, personal stories, and something a little different — then you might just like what I've got primed for your inbox:
