I just love being an author. It makes me happy to create these stories and put them out there in the world for people to enjoy.

As we enter the new year and put together our reading plans for 2026, I wanted to put together a quick guide on how to review books on sites like Goodreads, because it is so incredibly important for indie authors and small publishers! ๐๐ #bookreview

The life of a horror author.
I do feel this sometimes when the weather outside is beautiful, or thereโs that fresh blanket of crystalline snow sparking in the sunlight, and Iโm writing a story about an eldritch horror crawling out of the fetid shadows and eating people. #horror ๐๐ ๐ฉธ๐ #horrorwriter
My story โThe Black Cityโ is now free to read in the January issue of The Horror Zine! Iโm so honored to be included in this great collection! ๐๐ ๐ฉธ๐ #horror #freebook
