I think I have one more chapter to write before I finish the first draft of my alternate-history weird western, Toad Suck, Arkansas. Then the real editing begins.

Welcome to the synopsis for Erogenous Jones: Private Dicktective! In this story the titular character is a private detective who faces the challenge of turning into a woman for a few days every month. In the main story our new favorite private eye is trying to track down the source of an HRV/ARDS outbreak before more people are infected and a full-scale epidemic hits. (HRV = Human Resurrection Virus. ARDS = Acquired Revenant Deterioration Syndrome, AKA the zombie virus.) He is joined by an eclectic group of friends and allies that includes a Wendigo with a passion for professional wrestling, a necromancer who runs a taxidermy shop, and Mab, former queen of the Fae Folk and current proprietor of local diner Waffle Queen. This neo-noir bizarro fantasy is sure to entertain, titillate, and surprise you at every turn. Plus you’re going to laugh your ass off. I mean, he is a dicktective after all.

This neo-noir bizarro fantasy is the perfect book to lift your spirits in trying times. Bold, funny, and highly imaginative, Erogenous Jones: Private Dicktective is a headtrip you'll never forget. Available from Anxiety Press and Amazon.

A mock book cover is featured in the center of the image surrounded by trope text callouts: He's human, she's immortal; byronic hero protagonist; only one grave; tragic ending; bubonic plague; Medieval Irish setting; uncovering lost memories.

I'm home from work with Covid and could use this as time to finish the first draft of Toad Suck, Arkansas. Instead I'm intimidated by the prospect and am watching low budget horror movies.

The Backwards Knight is officially released unto the world. Pre-order campaign is over. Tentacles and all, I hope everyone enjoys this nearly-a-decade in the making novel.

Called a true fantasy gem and magnificent, I am proud of what I have wrought.

I hope you'll give it a go, #BookSky!

β€˜ #TheseDreamingSpires is a #darkacademia anthology of 12 short stories… I was a little worried they would get repetitive but many facets of dark academia were explored, and kept it super interesting.’
