Lots of people out there making fun of the Rapture crowd, but just think of how much the world would improve overnight if all those fools just vanished?

Last night in New York and I didn’t want to just sit in my room so I went out looking for something to do late night in NYC.
I found something to do

It is, but in very unexpected ways. And a very emotional story too.

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

One week from tonight come on out and see the documentary I cut all about the making of one of the wildest cult films of the 90s. AND we're showing the original (unrated) film.

Had one of those 'shoot your shot' days on a very longshot project. But hey, nice to even be having those conversations. Love it when people notice the work.

Guys, there is literally footage of the guy surrounded by people in chicken suits. This TACO thing could be a huge blow to his ego. Have at it, internet. Bring on the memes! The mockery! You don’t even have to photoshop it!

Screening Friday June 13th is the documentary I cut about the making of Jason Goes To Hell, along with the original 1993 film.
Come out and see it on the big screen!

Sooooooo close to 50 reviews! Who's gonna be the one to put it over the top?

I hope you have all the ITW nominees, including this one (also an Anthony nominee)

Added the newest to my stack of anthologies I’ve been published in.
Sad thing is, this isn’t even all of them. Some are ebook only, some never sent contributor copies. So imagine 4 more…

Gorgeous!

Hilarious. @ericbeetner.bsky.social crushes it here on The Writer's Dossier Podcast.

Yeah but, hints to whom?

The way the sun hits the couch from the skylight. All natural, baby!

My boy chillin’ on the couch.
I thought you all should see him. For obvious reasons

Yeah, I've been talking to Adam Meyer about it. Since so many of us are out here I'll gladly host a full night of HK authors for an event.
Now I just need to get on someone's radar about being a toastmaster. I'd love to do it somewhere, someday

Great choice!
