Just turned my dark fantasy novel into a dark sci fi novel and it’s really helped me rethink what this book is going to be.

Remember: always think of your writing as malleable :)

It’s another Saturday at the Library!!!

I am nestled amongst the books and may never come out.

An ideal existence if I’m being honest.

Upping other people’s so I’ll also up my own! Two books, three stories of my own and a fantastic issue of Cold Signal
okay my grumpy ass has finally settled on a 2025 year in review/eligibility graphic. I have been a furious little literary badger this year desperately clawing at art from all angles. Any interest/support/awards consideration for this work (mine + Cold Signal contributors) is so appreciated

Kyle Winkler's ENTER THE PEERLESS is "something horror fans haven't quite seen before," according to Booklist. It's eligible for various awards in the Best Novel category. If you haven't read it, you should. Get in touch.
