Equal parts Ron Swanson, Mister Rogers, and Stephen King.

Writer of multiple books. Creator of things. Protector of folks.
As a child I made Pennywise the stand-in for everything I was afraid of in the real world. The Loser's Club taught me how to be brave and fight the horror head on. I owe Stephen King my writing career, but I also owe him my life.

Just saw The Life of Chuck. I really liked the short story by @stephenking.bsky.social and loved the movie even more. Enjoyed the Q&A hosted by @ericvespe.bsky.social . But the moment that stood out was @mikeflanaganfilm.com saying "Make momets," and telling everyone to do the thing that brings joy.

Just received this little pulpy paperback beauty from @kalvinellis.bsky.social

Five stories of grue and gore and questionable decency (I hope!)

It looks like the kinda thing you stumble across in your dad's attic and realise he was much cooler than you thought.

After seeing Heart Eyes, I think we can all agree that @joshruben.bsky.social should definitely be adapting one of my books.

I've spent the day convincing myself that this was no accident.
Hear me out. Cameron Poe in Con Air gets a letter from his daughter saying her birthday is July 14th (and her daddy is coming home on Juky 14th). And the girls that are taken in Longlegs all share the same birthday, July 14th. Looks like we've got the origin story!

A sci-fi detective comedy narrated by a footnoting coffee machine robot, set in a continent-spanning mall.

“Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.”

In Deep Coprolite is on schedule for a summer release, so it's a good time to mention that Shade's noir urban fantasy adventures begin with Claws of the Collector, in which Shade encounters witches, deadly spirits, a possessed dagger, and a dragon or two.
