The Kirkus review of PAPER AIRPLANES, BROKEN BONES is in!

"A wholly absorbing but relentlessly grim coming-of-age tale." - Kirkus Reviews

Yes, it is dark. The narrative does include instances of lightness & hope, too—my opinion.

DREAD MONDAYS is launching tomorrow! It’s well reviewed, and I’ve got a cute little corporate horror story in it called, “Such a Catch,” so check it out!

I’d hit the launch party if it wasn’t a couple of thousand miles away from me.

Contrast this with some of the extraordinarily complex heist machinations we’ve seen in movies
He would if he could and he can but he won’t though he wants to but doesn’t and won’t… but he could but…he won’t

Murakami, Coates (non-fiction), Kiste, Due, and Wendig, to name a few. I've picked up stuff from reading all of them, but especially Murakami when it comes to writing exposition and captivating your reader.
This seems like a HIPPA violation somehow
Lol I started to say ‘anyhoo’ ironically because of that scene, and now I just say it… help me
For the last year or so I wondered if it was me or my intense job keeping me from the discipline of writing every day. I went on vacation and after three days I was right back to 1,500 words per day on a sharp new WIP…It wasn’t me, it was (is) the intense job keeping me from writing consistently.
The Onion should have a column called ‘The Dumbion’ for stories that sound so stupid they seem like parody but they’re real
Do you like reading excellent horror stories about the workplace? You should pre-order DREAD MONDAYS: A WHISPER HOUSE PRESS HORROR ANTHOLOGY!
This anthology of workplace horror stories by 35 authors includes "Such a Catch," by me!
