Humor is dark, hair is 5 sizes too big, and my soul got traded away for a bottle of scotch a century ago. Writes mildly amusing novels.
Someone should write romance novels about dudes with average builds and calls them Dad Bodice Rippers.

Looks at my stack of first person novels.
Yeah. Never trust the narrator, especially if I wrote it 😂
Guy on auto repair video: here is where I use a jack to hold up the oil pan while I take out the last couple bolts.
Me, looks at jack literally 4’ away: nah. I’ll just hold it up with my elbow while twisting the wrench in the most awkward angle imaginable.
Wrote a character intro last night and they were a “I’m going to be loud so no one pays attention to me” type. Woke up this morning and realized they are actually a “I’m very unassuming so no one notices me” type. Subtle change but it feels true to the character.

#horrorwriterschat question 3:
In my horror work, the one common theme when it comes to friendship is we’d never make it through this shit alive without each other.
What can I say? I write what I know 😂

Most of my characters wouldn’t ever leave their houses to meet each other, but from scrolling the feed of the #southerncharmer from my social media horror novel, they all agree that they don’t like Beau.
Hey #horrorwriterschat !
I write books that are too silly to be scary and too scary to be silly.
Pretty much every novel starts with “wouldn’t it be funny if…?” And ends with “but wouldn’t it be crazy/terrible/sad if…?”
I think “his only weakness is his family” might be the dude equivalent of “she is a quick-witted badass who is also clumsy”.

*This is why I have beta readers who will call me on my bullshit.
