People are always asking me when I’m going to write a novel. I have, I just haven’t done anything with it. Huge thanks to Burial Magazine for being kind enough to publish a short excerpt!

New story up at Hobart inspired in part by the recent passing of Val Kilmer. It’s about my teenage obsession with The Doors and conjuring Jim Morrison on the Ouija. www.hobartpulp.com/web_features...

Who’s up for a body-horror love story? If you act fast, you can read it before my husband does. Many thanks to @aaronburch.bsky.social & @havehashad.com for giving this cringey cnf a good home.

Excited to be part of this month’s @reckonreview.bsky.social lineup!! Check out my new story THE KINGS OF GHOST CITY here: reckonreview.com/the-kings-of...

I have a funny little flash out today about being middle-aged and doing stupid shit to prove to yourself you’re not as uncool as you feel. Thanks so much to @havehashad.com for taking this one!

Going to drive to the Alberta badlands to see the dinosaurs tomorrow and I feel 10 again.

As much as I regret moving (which is a lot, lol), I will say it is pretty great to be so close to views like this.

There is something happening. Something bigger than you, me, and… whoever this person is you’re with. There is no excuse for this. I deserve an explanation. This is big stuff, Francesco. Big, big stuff. SOMETHING BIG by @badguybirnie.bsky.social www.bruisermag.com/birnie_somet...

It’s Indie April, so I appreciate any help spreading the word about The Owl Men of Shanidar. If you like sci-fi and weird tales, give this novel a chance. Release is April 28! Mybook.to/OwlMen

Gorgeous weather here this weekend. Spent a good portion of it on a patio drinking frozen peach cider.

If you’re headed to AWP make sure to stop by the @LEspritLit table at the book fair to grab a copy of their retrospective. I have seven watercolours and an essay in it. I’ll also be reading with them at The Last Bookstore on March 29th at 6pm. Come out and say hi!

Thrilled to have a gruesome little story about hysteria, medical abuse, and masochism in this. Coy always puts together the best historical horror. Mark your calendars for this one!

Worm moon time—that means there’s a story in @gonelawn.bsky.social called “In the Dragonfly Cemetery” that you will perhaps enjoy (I hope so) in addition to the rest of this excellent issue

Gone Lawn Journal@gonelawn.bsky.social · 2y ago

We look for the worm moon. Here it is, above the night crowns! We speak to the moon, a breeze fills our mouth. Clouds fill our ears. We don’t understand, but the worm moon understands. New issue, here you go! gonelawn.net

Stoked to be reading with such an awesome lineup. If you’re heading to AWP this year be sure to stop by The Stowaway Friday night for some lit shenanigans.

Just realized I only have one submission out right now. I have this weird anxiety around submitting. It’s not even that I’m scared of rejection, I just feel kind of stupid submitting my writing. Like, here, I wrote this thing which may or may not be (is definitely) weird. Please publish it.
