I write stories. Some weird, some funny, all poorly, like a child armed with nonsense words and heavily sugared coffee.
I predict the entire Internet will be largely useless by 2030. People will be going outside, talking to strangers in public, and maybe reading books.

The great people at Carnage House included me in their Best of Year Two anthology. My story in this one made someone want to throw up a little, they said. Mine might be one of the tamer stories in the collection. Check it out!

If you enjoy absurd fiction with memorable characters, you will like the title story. It's about a kid trying to replace his dad with a robot. Lots of these stories feature dads. There's some psychology there. Anyway, fun stories, cool art by @jartravian.bsky.social. Check it out!

Have any of you found that people actually care about your newsletter, excerpts, or character art? I have found that I really enjoy writing and I love sharing stories with the world, but I am not interested in the social media marketing aspect of it.

If anyone is curious, I submitted to ROH Publishing and got some really insightful, useful feedback on my story. I will revise with their suggestions in mind. Too bad they didn't recognize my genius and all, but they are apparently cool, genuine people.
