I'm back from vacation. Just dropped a new newsletter. Feel free to check it out over at the substack for free. Link is in the comments. Looking forward to getting back to my writing here.

I have published 34 books. It's Under the Deck is 35. It never gets old. I would be honored if you would check out this nasty novella. Thanks to all the great work by @sobelobooks.bsky.social for helping get this out there. They rock. Cake for all the holes in your deck! Share thiiiiis. Shaaaare it.

A fun day for me. It's Under the Deck is here! And I opened this package to find an anthology that I was part of. I don't do a lot of short stories anymore, but sometimes, a topic calls to me. This one comes out on August 31st from Slice Up Press. Fun stuff.

This scene in Maximum Overdrive is peak cinema in my opinion... the perfect amount of over-acting.

Chuck... sorry you died, man. Even sorrier people keep bringing up The Mask, when Dream Warriors was your masterpiece. Dokken on the soundtrack? Siiiick.

It's Under the Deck isn't even out yet, and it's in its 10,000th print run... you know, if you believe in the multiverse. Here's a quote from someone who read an arc of the book. I love the line. Getchu a copy of It's Under the Deck. @sobelobooks.bsky.social

Threw another 5k words on substack today. Another chapter of Episode 3 of The Bardtender, and 2k more word son This Rotten World 13. Basically, this substack is becoming a steal for readers, as I now have close to 60k words of writing on it. Check it out. Link in comments.

Pretty easy Friday. Wrote hard. Wrote fast. 2K on This Rotten World 13. Now at 29K words. Added 2k to my weirdo slasher book, bringing it to 8k. Had fun, now it's time for the weekend. My unwritten autobiography title is Write Hard. Don't steal it.

Another review for It's Under the Deck. What's funny about it is that, I have had many books reviewed where people say something along the lines of "I thought it was going to be a zombie book" and then it turns out it wasn't. Thanks to Milt for the great review! Link to review in comments.

Cranking out words over here. Added 2k to This Rotten World 13. Now at 26k. Added 2k to my weirdo slasher novel. Now at 6k on that one. Setting up for some dark things. A lovely cloudy day, much better than smoky and a hundred degrees.

Grinding over here. Added 2k to This Rotten World 13: A Tide of Blood. Up to 24k words. Added 2k to my weirdo slasher novel... now at 4k. Can't wait to start slashing. Feeling the grind of the summer, may dial it back to 2k words a day. Got a vacation coming up, hoping that'll refresh me.

At first glance, It's Under The Deck feels almost mundane. Phil is a man existing rather than living after the loss of his wife. His days have settled into an

Been getting them sick reviews in for It's Under the Deck... you know, because it's awesome. This one comes from Matt at Matts Books and Drams. Thanks for the killer review, Matt! Getchu a copy of It's Under the Deck, if I sell a thousand of them, Sobelo will make a scratch'n'sniff version... maybe.

Cracked keys on something new today. Something brutal, something darker than I've ever done before. I'll be writing my 1st slasher novel, because I've never done 1. Don't worry, it'll still be weird. Got a sick premise. At 2k words. Also added 2k words to This Rotten World 13. Now up to 22k words.

Added 4k words to This Rotten World 13. Posted them up on my substack for my paid subscribers... it's getting interesting... and a little bit weird. And I'm okay with that. The carnage comes soon!

I actually went out and saw a movie today. Evil Dead Burns, strictly for gorehounds in my opinion. Came home and wrote 4k words on This Rotten World 13: A Tide of Blood. Now up to 19k words... and I am tired. That movie threw off my whole routine.

Abby did a sick write-up for It's Under the Deck. If you wanna know what the book is about, or why you should buy this Indigenous cosmic horror novella, go and check it out at the link in the comments. @unstablebooks.bsky.social @sobelobooks.bsky.social

Got seated for the one movie a year I go to. Monday, first showing, no one else here for Evil Dead Burn. Just the way I like it.

The best scream in punk rock belongs to Kim Shattuck of The Muffs. RIP.

I've come up with all the titles of my books on my own. *Takes a bow*
