Hey, you. What are your plans today? It's my last summer Sunday, and the fall semester starts tomorrow. I have some work to finish, but I'm hoping to test out a new soldering iron and maybe play some retro video games.

I'm dealing with "shiny new thing syndrome." I'm supposed to be working on marketing materials for my upcoming release (PRECIPICE OF NOWEHRE), but I'm also writing a new novel (STRANGE MATTER), and I really want to finish it. So, does this count as marketing? 😇

We're five days from the release of TSD in paperback! It's a personal tale of grief and anxiety, death and dementia. Cosmic horror through an elderly lens. It's got what might be the best accolades of my career to date. So, if you're new here, or haven't read it, please consider picking it up!

One of my characters just said this, and swiftly became my favorite of the novel: "Resistance is a worthy pursuit, you fucking boot-licker." Her name is Brooke Thorn (Boo if you want to keep your teeth), and she's going to kick some ass.

I'm starting to understand how social media works, so my main marketing push for my upcoming novel will be a series of rage-baiting posts comprised of the worst possible shit takes I can muster.

Cover reveal! When Clark daughter Sadie is kidnapped, Clark and his wife follow clues which lead to an eldritch cavern deep in the state forest of Moon Hill. They momentarily find Sadie among a horde of gruesome mutations before she’s thrown into a living vortex of red tendrils and disappears.
