I released Scenes from a Quiet Apocalypse, one of my strangest and most experimental novellas, five years ago this month. I based the structure on the tarot cards of the major arcana, pulling characters and details of the scenes from the images and meanings of the various cards. The main character, Destiny, is The Fool, though […]

Have you ever noticed that when you read a book describing the weather, sometimes you feel like the weather outside must match what you’ve been reading about? If this is the case for you, and you’re tired of the cold, what about checking out a book about a summer camp? Maybe that can bring some […]

It’s time to look at my 2023 goals! Because I’m steering away from working on novels, my plans for writing shorter pieces are a bit more ambitious. I’ve currently got 16 short stories planned for the year, for which I already have at least a little groundwork done on most of them. I’m clearing out […]

Not all of my heroic stories involve superheroes, though some of them do. Here’s a sampling of some recent releases involving heroic characters. If you like audio stories, check out “Friday Jones’ Helpful Advice for Preventing Your Super-Genius Roommate from Becoming a Supervillain,” which was podcast at Manawaker Flash Fiction Podcast this past March. You […]

Sometimes, the best reviews for a book you can get are the ones that aren’t necessarily posted online. My mom reads all of my books, and she sent me a message a few days after finishing Camp Haunt. She said she really wanted to read it to see what I remembered about camp, and she […]

If you’re looking for some spooky Halloween reads, I’ve got a few options available! Volatile Figments is a collection of six dark contemporary fantasy short stories in which the protagonists deal with the supernatural. They generally tend toward dark contemporary fantasy rather than horror, so they’re spooky without being terrifying. Doorways in the Gloom is […]

For the first time in a long while, I don’t have any new stories or poems out in the past month! But not to fear, there will be more new pieces coming soon. So in the meantime, I did have a new book out this month: Camp Haunt. Which is actually a re-release of sorts, since […]

My young adult epistolary horror novella, Camp Haunt, is out today, in print and ebook for the first time! Camp Haunt started out as a serial epistolary novel on Channillo, which I wrote in 2016 and just into the beginning of 2017. At one point, I thought I might completely rewrite it as a novella […]

Six years ago, I wrote an epistolary novel about a haunted summer camp. Up until this point, the only place it has been available is on Channillo. But I always wanted this to be a book that folks could buy and own, so now it is! Camp Haunt is coming back! The book has undergone minor […]

2021 continued in the trend of challenging years, and while I can hope that 2022 will turn things around, I think I’ve gotten into the habit of expecting each year to be a challenge, so that I can be pleasantly surprised if it’s not. I haven’t had a lot of of luck with getting novels […]
