I've been terrible at updates, but I've got some cool things in the works. Lots of my friends have cool things in the works. Sure makes navigating the current global climate a little more manageable. Stay kind. Stay weird. Stay tuned.

Fair-ish 😅

I'm embarrassed for earth. I hope she isn't too disappointed in us.

I'm not convinced she isn't an alien.

Congratulations to these two, and a special one to @matthewtpritt.bsky.social. Lash Egg is disgusting and awesome and I'm so pumped it is coming to curse our shelves next year! 🥚 🦌 🔥 💚

Very chaotic choice if intentional. Maybe it's some new hip black n tan situation, but ya know, not beer 😅

I'll be sure to schedule a jaw-sesh 💜

Started diggin' into this bad boy. Really enjoying it so far 🔥
@michaelboulerice.bsky.social is capturing something here I haven't put my finger on yet, but it's brewing. Inherent value on people. Self worth...how we view kids...more thoughts coming, but yeah. Good stuff here.

Oh hell yeah, broski!

Go get weird with these 10p weirdos if you're in Portland tonight! 💀💙🤘

Absolutely, dude! I know I publish a lot of horror/speculative, but crime is my bread n butter. Can't get enough of it. Great stuff ya got here!

Andy at it again with another ass-whipping crime story. Check it out!

Don't remember if I can like or not, or if that's for agents, but the art is gnarly!

UBI would be an ideal situation 😅 I don't need much. I just want the time to create.

I really need my day job to understand I have hobbies and stuff to write.

Fixes like these run deep in my family. Top-tier work.

💀💜🤘

Matt will hook ya up! He did all the interior art for Trve Cvlt and nailed every illustration.

Pub day is here! My debut cosmic horror novella FEEDING THE WHEEL is officially out on store shelves and digital marketplaces all over the world. Instead of droning on about how proud I am of this work and how fulfilled I feel as a writer, I'd like to take a sec to thank everybody who made this real

💀💜🤘
Thanks for sharing! Saffi is great to talk with!

@saffronasteria.bsky.social interviewed me for Indiosyncrasy a lil while back. Saffi rules! 💀💜🤘

They say if you wanna break your parent's hearts, go into the arts. I wanna raise that a bit and tell mine I just wanna be a househusband and take care of our silly lil plants and write my silly lil stories while my partner runs for office or some shit.

Bwahah

Me too, dude. Me too.

Humanity is in a weird place right now where a lot of folks have forgotten how to be human. Maybe we never knew, but I'd like to think our collective headspace wasn't nearly as...what it is...when we weren't terminally online.

Final Fantasy X-2 walked so K-pop Demon Hunters could run.

Something about how he hopes he doesn't sneeze while snipping.
