Sometimes, just for fun, Medusa will turn people to stone, then Aphrodite will turn them back to flesh… repeatedly in the case of idiots like Perseus.

I'm going on 2 months of unemployment after I was laid off from my dayjob. Though I'm worried about money, I greatly enjoy having enough time to focus on my writing.

I'd appreciate your help to make ends meet. Consider leaving a tip on my Ko-Fi.

Every day I get multiple emails and DMs from marketers wanting to promote my books, and nearly all of them are generated using AI bullshit. If you can't even write your own messages, you aren't touching my books.

I block every single one of you who do this.

Unicorns are pretty, but their rainbow farts smell like rotten eggs. And don't buy that "attracts maidens" stuff. My unicorn only attracts 45-year-old construction workers named "Hank."

Anyone in the area of Corvallis, Oregon, please attend this release party! I had the honor of critiquing this book when it was being written by Donovan Reves. I can't wait to read the final version!

An otherwise surly frost giant I know loves to breakdance to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby." Unfortunately, he's destroyed a few villages in the process.

I have it from a reliable source that dwarves love sugar cookies. But no sprinkles! The sprinkles get stuck in their beards.

"Kilgore is a master of dread. His stories build to a fever pitch with a satisfying release. Kilgore's work holds the same intrigue and suspense of Edgar Allan Poe & W.W. Jacobs." -

There was a time when I found Pinterest useful to stimulate my imagination, finding interesting fantasy and scifi images.

But now it's filled with all sorts of AI-generated crap, and I hate it. Deleting my profile there.

If you can get past the stench, warts, and eating of raw carcasses, orcs really aren't so bad... My pal Gragth likes cross-stitch and Vivaldi.
