Writing a book is hard.
Editing is hard.
Selling your book is hard.
Selling yourself is hard.
Finding readers is hard.
Do the hard things.
Do what’s difficult.
Do what others cannot.
Go where others will not.
Because you can.
Because you must.
Because it’s hard.
I still think about this random desk and chair I found in the desert at times. It was gone the next week I went there, but I just liked the idea of sitting down and writing in the middle of the desert. Nothing is stopping me I suppose... Have an odd place you like go to read or write?

“Just be yourself.”
Me:
STORYBORNE: A Short Story Collection.
Encounter the bleak landscapes of dystopian realities, feel the hair-raising presences lurking in shadowed corners (or at windows), and brace yourself against the violent whims of a certain 'man in red'.

I’m obsessed with novelizations of films! Something we need more of nowadays. But this is just a cool looking book. Those red edges 🩸🩸

One of my favorite paperbacks is this 1979 novelization of the Werner Herzog Nosferatu film.

The cover for SPREAD ME features a geometric hab in scratchy shades of grey. The base of the hab explodes into reaching, penetrating tendrils that invade the letters of the title. The image is on an orange and yellow gradient field.
🚨 COVER REVEAL 🚨
I am so beyond thrilled to share the cover for SPREAD ME! With art by Anders Røkkum, designed by Esther S. Kim, this cover is every bit as nasty and invasive and delicious as the book itself. I couldn't possibly love it more ✨👾🫦
I think my floating dream detective story was orphaned. Sucks, but it’s not the first time thats happened to me. Projects and publishers come and go in this world. Against my better judgement, I might make it into something longer and weirder now.

First, I’d like to apologize to all the unread ebooks on my kindle. Especially the ones I bought, forgot about, and read a physical copy instead. My bad…
Also, thank you for not staring and silently judging me like all the unread paperbacks and hardcovers on my bookshelf.
We're running a one-day Cyber Monday special on our 2024 releases Why Didn't You Just Leave (an anthology of ghost stories) and The Nightmare Box and Other Stories (Cynthia Gómez's superb debut collection). The paperbacks are only $9.99 today--saves you five bucks!
