I love old buildings. My job usually has me climbing into spaces most people never see, (attics, crawl spaces, walls, the like...) I draw a lot of inspiration from these dark and forgotten realms most never think about. They truly show that buildings can be characters as much as people can.

The insecurities of what I wrote are hitting me now as I’m looking over the first few chapters, but I just gotta hang tight and trust the process.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure who did this artwork, but this catches the overall vibe of this first part of the series.

It was awesome! Brooklyn was a little overwhelming for a country mouse like myself, but 10/10 would go back!

Merrimack Valley and Powerhouse were definitely brights spot during a dark time. Looking forward to the books. Y’all are awesome. 👻🍻🤘🏼

Awesome! I get to find out for myself in a few weeks. I’m excited and nervous at the same time lol.

This was also the book that I learned how to write with, so there were endless iterations. It’s angry, unforgiving, and full of hope for this broken as fuck world. I did the best I could and didn’t come to it lightly.

November’s job will be editing, but until then: yay! 👻
