I can't believe it's been a year since FEEDING THE WHEEL came out. Feels like it's only been a couple weeks since I was ultra flop sweating my debut novella's release, but hey! I didn't die! Big thanks to everyone who bought/read/reviewed my precious technicolor baby boy

Neuromancer on AppleTV is making more buzz, & I'm cautiously optimistic that they don't fuck up a good thing. Also, MIDWESTERN CHROME is coming out w/ @tenebrouspress.bsky.social in a couple of weeks that owes a fair amount to Case n Molly n Armitage n so forth. Jack in. Bliss out. 💜💀🤘

Don't worry about the Future. When it knocks your teeth out, you can always sell em at the Midnight Bazaar. Going price varies. Replace em with some some fancy LED-lit teeth. Make that bridge shine. Flash em. Flaunt em. Make em work, Cool Guy.
