hi folks, dropping by to say that the release date for my new novella BLOODLETTING GO is being pushed back for now. i don't have a definite date set yet, but will update here as soon as i do. she's coming—just not quite yet. thank you for understanding! 🖤

thank you for reading!! and great catch! i love that game so so much, and that line in particular struck me hard. i tried to put a ton of subtle references to my favorite media into LTWKOB, so night in the woods definitely made the cut 🐈‍⬛

she do be lurking 👀

Look what I found in my forest! From Night Worms @sadiehartmann.bsky.social 's horror subscription box.

as someone who is navigating self publishing for the first time can i just say that i am Afraid. but also very excited

🖤🖤🖤

The last book I had the pleasure of reading and editing is by the amazing @emroy.bsky.social. Her new book, Bloodletting Go, comes out soonish! Punky and full of queer awesomeness.

what can you expect from my upcoming novella, BLOODLETTING GO?

📼 set in the 90s
🤘 punk rock
🚫 anticapitalism
🌈 queer as fuck
⁉️ lynchian

think Green Room (2015), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), and Jennifer’s Body (2009).

i am so fucking excited to release this weirdness into the world

Cover art for Bloodletting Go by EM Roy, two punks looking at the viewer in front of a background of blood and shattered glass

Had so much fun drawing cover art for @emroy.bsky.social , who approached me with one of the best pitches for a book.

Lynchian…. Green Room-esque… Blood everywhere…. No really add more blood. Awesome! Thank you!

I love these ‘shattered mirror in a punk bar bathroom’ vibes

eeee it’s perfect, thank you again so much 🖤

again, artwork by the incredibly talented @egallagher.bsky.social 🖤 thank you so much

bluesky crunched the quality of the video so here’s the cover on its own. this project is very close to my heart and is weird as fuck so i hope you like it this fall!!

happy pride, here’s a cover reveal! BLOODLETTING GO, coming 10.07.25 (artwork by @egallagher.bsky.social) 🖤🩸

hitting 666 followers the day before a new book announcement? love this timing for us

(thank u 🖤)

we are in hell

(cover and title reveal tomorrow)

piss off your local bigots and read diverse books

did an interview with the local paper for my day job about our “read the rainbow” book program this week and a notorious conservative website covered it and named me directly lol i love it here

there must be a way out of here

letting go might be the only way out…

title and cover reveal june 1st

a brick wall with graffiti-style text that reads: "Something is coming. A new nightmare will be revealed June 1st."
