So, some sad news: the publisher for Wraith shut its doors unexpectedly, which means the book now needs a new home.

As soon as I'm done being sad/mad/sad/probably-still-mad about it, I'll start looking for another outlet that can get it in your hands.

I'm tired of living in the country of "She warned you" when we should be in the country of "Marked safe from Temu Coup"

3. What are Zoe's abilities like compared to the others? It's deceptive. On the surface, she doesn't seem super powerful but she's legit a threat level unto herself.
4. Any Greek myths involved?
Not this time. They'll be front and center in GORGON.

Some WRAITH info:
1. Do you need to read the other books first? Nope! It's a standalone, but you'll recognize some things if you've read Prism and Atalanta.
2. What's the genre? Sci-fi with a light dusting of horror.

"What he's doing might be unconstitutional, but is it really that bad?"

Thom Tillis is a coward whose vote can be bought at Dollar General prices. Glad to see the rest of the nation is finally getting a taste of how ridiculously awful he is.

So I'm doing this thing with the latest book where I stopped outlining 2/3rds of the way through so I could alter the ending based on any changes I made. Now that I'm one chapter away from this point, I'm putting out an APB on Past Matt.

The self-owning of these people. Way to let everyone know your religious beliefs are a facade, champ.

Taking a break from my usual bullshit to tell you once again that the best thing you can do to fight back over the next 4 (🫠) years is to vote and get involved in local politics. We've already seen how local governments are providing a wall against mass deportation efforts. Flex your power.
