TROPES married main characters villain protagonists unreliable narrators dangerous criminal underworld badass women in STEM attractive men covered in blood occult conspiracy incomprehensible eldritch god

PLOT SUMMARY Throughout their marriage, Jason and Ayana’s lives always ran parallel but never entwined. It’s the perfect arrangement. He’s free to pursue his dangerous yet lucrative career as an elite assassin, and she can focus on conducting autopsies for the city’s forensic center. But after Jason spares a witness to his latest murder, he becomes the prime suspect in his own brother’s homicide. While he hunts for the real killer, Ayana discovers an impossible illness in one of her cadavers. The couple quickly identify an unsettling connection between the two events—one steeped in religious fanaticism and occult conspiracy. Jason and Ayana must learn to work together, using their wits, lies, and criminal connections to uncover the truth behind a mysterious cult and exact revenge. But human enemies are the least of their concern. Beyond the boundary of their world exists a cosmic threat of apocalyptic proportions, and it is trying to break through.

Busy week for me! I managed to write a fair bit, but work got my ass.

Some excited stuff is happening outside of writing, which I can't really talk about, but I'm stoked!!

Gonna be that guy again: you have to support trans work while you know you can.

It's more at risk than ever and I know some of you are engaging with the art and just not telling the creator!

So take this as your sign to tell somebody you enjoyed their work. It makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone who showed interest in being a beta reader. I've since closed the form, and this coming Sunday (March 1st) I'll be reaching out to those who signed up 💕

buy a trans author’s book today

Yeah I bet

Oh shit I'm sorry man

The older I get the more I appreciate erotic art.
Whether it be art, writing, film, etc., that shit's got me saying "Hell yeah"

I'm a lover of dark fantasy, have been since I knew what it was, and I've got a few story ideas that dip into that realm.
However, I'm not in a place right now where I feel like I can throw myself into the world-building required for the stories I want to tell.

One day, though!

Ah thank you!! I very well might take you up on that. Need to get my ducks in a row first lmao

Aw thanks so much! I appreciate the offer, but it's just document things on my end. Some last minute changes/edits to what I want to send out.
You'll hear from me via email on Sunday 💕

I got thrown into work this past week, so my time for writing has shrunk significantly.
My goal is to just try to write a little something every day. It doesn't have to be big, but just a few words.
As well I'm gonna organize beta reader stuff for this coming Sunday.

I finally have the opportunity to share this profoundly uncomfortable and unsexy moment from "The Strings of Willis Manor"

#TSOWM #WipSnips #WritingCommunity

Massive thank you to the folks who've already shown interest. I did not expect to have so many awesome people show their support.

I'm gonna leave this open until Friday Feb. 27th, at which point it'll close.

Again, huge thank you 💕

Big fan of gay people. They keep me sane

Thanks so much!

Awesome! Would you mind filling out the form so I can keep track of everything?
Thanks!

Another work update: I'm working on a Saturday.

I'm quite tired and sore already, but there's a set to be wired and the drywall goes up on Monday so we've gotta boogey

Aw thank you! It's mostly fine. Mainly just an adjustment getting back into the heavy labour that I've been doing.
I'm getting strong though lmao

Work update: guh

After a few months, the off season of film is finally over!
I start dailying tomorrow, and honestly it couldn't have come at a better time. I was going a little nuts.

Posts will be sporadic for a while 💕

A three by three image mood board that has a long underground hallway without end, a lit up skeeball machine, the back light of a car with a metal plate that says 2000, a brutalist structure, a sandy beach, a hand gripping someone else's forearm, a screen filled with lines of green code, blood on white tile with a hand doing the sign of the horns and a pair of white sneakers almost out of frame, and a single illuminated escalator in a dark room. In neon green text are the words Monitored Activity, Horror, Sci-fi, Unficion, @Astramachina. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

MONITORED ACTIVITY: A state-of-the-art security system arrives with the New Millennium, and shoppers at Prime Plaza can now spend their time and hard earned money with newfound peace of mind. That same luxury doesn’t extend to the mall’s employees. Hallucinations of missing girls and impossible hallways haunt Shaw's every shift. Footage of bloated corpses vomiting sand, violent indiscretions committed by management, and a hell-dimension of perverse delights makes the security guard equal parts sick and turned on. It’s a good thing that Shaw is impervious to shame. There is no serial killer, haunting, or starved alien life-form that can stop him from getting what he wants: PTO, and in his boss' pants. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

Two Polaroids. The one labeled Shaw Price '01 is of a young man with dark eyes and long hair tied back in a ponytail, he looks cocky and gay. The one labeled Eddie Conners 2001 is of a basic looking middle-aged man with short hair, serial killer glasses, and bags under his pale eyes. The entire graphic is covered with 2000s style sticker decorations: a glitter heart, a glitter star, a CD, and a swoopy star circle in neon green. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

A promo image for Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller. In bright green text it reads: A security guard clocks in for the worst shift of his life. The boss? Probably a cult leader. The missing girl? Pretty dead. The mall? Very much alive. The word mall is in highlighted red text. In tiny bright green text: So is the taxidermied armadillo? In gradient blue, 90s style word art it says: The Backrooms...if people fucked in them. Then back to bright green text: Pre-order now. Message brought to you by Krasner Technologies: Your future, their gain.

MONITORED ACTIVITY:
—for when nostalgia is, literally, bait.

📼 A potentially sentient mall.
📼 A serial killing cult leader.
📼 Autocannibalism in liminal spaces.
📼 MC [🏳️‍⚧️&🏳️‍🌈] is more than a little fucked up.
📼 Aliens?
📼 Taxidermy armadillos.
📼 Gay sex in the flesh pit.
