In 2025, I’ll have lived in three states, worked three different jobs (hopefully), and will have written two books.
Between that and *waves hands around* this is a whiplash year.

THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Even on the worst Tuesdays there are books waiting for you to read them
Hello, I write literary horror and surrealist trash. You can find links to all of my publications on my website, and a page devoted to free stories & audio online. I'd be immensely grateful if you'd buy my books or request them through your library to support my writing.

But I just sold a novel ON PITCH and have some big announcements coming in 2026, so here I am again! You know what to do!

Forget LoZ and Moana. Someone should make a live action remake of my book LUMBERJACK.
The CGI J Sterling Morton would be incredible and Josh Gad would be delightful as the voice of the axe.

Cars need to be abolished
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I’ve been told my books are depressing. But frankly I think my melancholy is something I should lean more into rather than less.
I’m a melancholic person. How can I not be? I’m a deeply sensitive little guy in a deeply troubled world.

Do I know anyone who lives in the DMV area and is looking for a dog? Young, well-trained male lab/pitt mix. He’s adorable and sweet and goofy.
If you know are interested or know someone who might be, pass it along and DM me for info.
