Contract signed, so I can officially say my story “In the Void Behind My Deaths” is going to be published at @factorfourmagazine.com !

It’s about what happens between death and rebirth, and what that means for the universe as a whole.

It's time to help Apex funding their issues for 2026! In this dire times of exploitative AI tools and art having to "prove" its relevance to the public, it's almost an act of defiance to see a SFF magazine thriving. So let's help this happen! They have several stretch goals going on too.

The Patron Thomas Ha’s future comes for us so subtly the heartbreak almost doesn’t hit until after.

“On that day, I was hired to be a father.”

Just read “The Patron” by @thomasha.bsky.social in @morningtransport.bsky.social and oh god, I haven’t been that caught off guard by a story in a while. Absolute masterclass in tension and the unsettling.
