I should be taking a break while I query. That last novel was emotionally brutal for me, but I just can't. I'm too excited for the next one.

Here's a big hint about the context of my next piece:
If you are ever in Western North Carolina, you have to check out Boojum on Main Street in Waynesville.

I took this photo of the paper mill in Canton, NC. If you have not seen it a million times, you might not realize it is already in a fairly disassembled state. The iconic smokestacks are gone. I was standing on a pile of crushed stone when I took the shot.

Today, I learned the word "egregore" a non-phystical entity that arises from the collective thoughts and emotions of a group of individuals.

I've seen this word thrown around in different occult texts but I've never actually looked it up 🤣🖤

It’s been nearly one hundred years since the Sunburst logging village burned to the ground in November, 1925.
Now, beneath the still waters of Lake Logan, burnt buildings rot. Gravestones vanish in the silt.

Want to know the horrible truth?
Beta reader invites go out no later than August 14.

Air masses are a lot like plate tectonics in that they constantly move around and rub against each other. #wxsky #storms #deformationzone #airmasses #earth #climate

I’ve survived four catastrophic floods. Two of them in just the last five years.

The town I live in has been sitting under something dark for a long time.

I’ve taken all of that and hammered it into a novel.

It’s full of horror and Appalachian noir.

Act II is done.

I see your cats and I love them all.
I've got six myself.
But how many of you have a freshwater monster named after a Nahuatl god?

I'm in love with these images by @nekart.bsky.social! Imagine them as perfectly placed spot illustrations in a cosmic horror novel or a serialized online publication.

My dream is to have my novel cover created by Wayne Barlowe. This is Eligor, God’s Demon cover (2005).
