We’re officially living in one of those countries I was told to be afraid of in school.

"Matt moved behind him to peer at the screen. He saw for himself the webbed face of the infamous mask—porcelain painted black and crackled with age. They all knew the stories. Now, here she was, manifested like a demonic folk tale."

Men I’ve written this year:
1. Gay teen sent to conversion therapy camp who decided to kill God
2. Closeted gay teen rescuing his missing lover from a fem slasher
3. A polyamorous man who becomes a popular influencer to “save humanity from itself”
4. Straight ally protector of his queer friend group

I hate this argument. We do not “have” to use the faulty technology that perpetually spits out garbage, falsehoods, and inferior slop just because it’s new. I’d even argue it is going away as the vast majority of people are already fed up with it. This bubble will pop hard soon.

Full read-through of “Looney Lynda Darcey” is done! Just a few more changes and polishes and it’ll be good to go and I can start working on final formatting and release stuff. #booksky #authorsky #horrorbooks

Tomorrow is read-through day! I’ll be spending the day reading through the entirety of “Looney Lynda Darcey” top to bottom and making sure the manuscript is in tip top shape. Looking for any last minute changes or polishes that need to be made before calling it done. So excited! #booksky #authorsky

People are not “more sensitive” these days. They are “fed up, empowered, and no longer willing to suffer your bullying in silence.”

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

Ooh! I think I’d pick the main character of my upcoming novel, “Influencer.” Peter is a guy desperate the make the world and life with his partner a better place, but goes ever so slightly mad with power to do so. Sans the suffering a terrible fate, I think being in his shoes would have its perks.

As a horror author I don’t know that my worlds are necessarily better…but they’re certainly not worse. #authorsky #booksky

Patient No. 8|Paperback Gregory Tucker was a good, God-fearing Christian until his best friend, Charles, planted the seed of doubt inside him. Luckily, Arthur Troupe, the man who speaks to God, has just the solution. Trapped...

It’s spooky season again, and that means it’s time to find your next scary read! Might I suggest “Patient No. 8,” a queer horror story about the nightmares of conversion therapy. You can check it out here just in time for Halloween!

Blaming wide-spread mental health problems on social media has always felt disingenuous to me. The issue is the world, not the window through which we view it. There are atrocities impacting everyone’s sanity daily. All social media does is show them to us.
