On the one hand, a 5-star review of my book is much appreciated.
On the other hand, creating an account using my dead fathers name to do so is seriously fucked up.

Just matched the number of chapters between my first novel and its sequel, with at least a dozen more to go. Hope I can find a publisher, DIY is a hassle.

If CONAN is doom metal for death metal fans, then MOTHER IRON HORSE is for sure stoner metal for death metal fans. Excellent energy and crunch.

To think, it was only about 7 months ago that my editor said "you should write a book", and now here it is on bookstore shelves.
The bookstore is Cross & Crows in Vancouver. First I approached, first to accept, first to shelf.

First print run of paperbacks in hand. Shipping these is murder. Friggin' Canada Post... Makes it hard to empathize with their impending strike.

I get wanting to be aware of world events... but several authors I love, their social media is insufferable. 3 or 4 posts a day, every day, ALL DOOM, ALL THE TIME. Ceaseless politics and negativity. Its fucking draining. Talk about your books or some shit. #booksky 📚🪐💙 #grimdark #darkfantasy

Throwback to that time I was in US Magazine, so I had it framed, but then all my clients seemed to think I was obsessed with the Depp/Heard divorce. Womp womp.

Just won my first short story contest!
(It sounds more impressive than it is. 400 to 700 words in an /r/grimdark reddit contest in which there were 4 winners splitting the prize and only about 7 entrants total...) Still... Yay me? 🤪

Just finishing up the second of two short stories I'm planning on sending to @hellboundbooks.bsky.social for consideration in their anthologies. Don't think I'll revisit this corridor of horror again anytime soon though.

Oh man... awkward finding out Whispers of the Storm by ZB Steele and Tears of the Moon by Jackson Simiana both use the same font on their book covers that my cover artist used on Bones Before Fortune. Meeeep. 😬
