there are 36 hidden righteous people quietly holding up the world. you get one shot to meet one — at 18 — and 99.9% of us miss it. my mother is the 0.1%. new chapter of THE 36 is up: the notebook, the birds, the candlesticks, and everything she's refused to explain for 48 years.

The best thing about being a moderately successful author is not money (lol, it is actually sub-minimum wage) or fame (nobody reads books). It is having enough mild prestige to relatively easily connect with fellow-creators whom you respect, and meet ones you haven't even heard of before

in jewish mysticism, 7 is nature and 8 is what's above nature — the supernatural, the eerie, the unexplainable. in my horror-wracked brain, that meant aliens. so i wrote L8ER SK8ER, a novel about skateboarding aliens and cults. it never sold. this is what happened 👽🛹

why haven’t i finished most of the michael jackson horror stories i’ve started? i keep landing on the same uncomfortable answer, which is that i don’t have to write them at all. michael’s life, the revealed and the hidden, was a horror story at every turn.
