Editing is hard.
Selling your book is hard.
Selling yourself is hard.
Finding readers is hard.
Do the hard things.
Do what’s difficult.
Do what others cannot.
Go where others will not.
Because you can.
Because you must.

I still think about this random desk and chair I found in the desert at times. It was gone the next week I went there, but I just liked the idea of sitting down and writing in the middle of the desert. Nothing is stopping me I suppose... Have an odd place you like go to read or write?

I am so beyond thrilled to share the cover for SPREAD ME! With art by Anders Røkkum, designed by Esther S. Kim, this cover is every bit as nasty and invasive and delicious as the book itself. I couldn't possibly love it more ✨👾🫦

I think my floating dream detective story was orphaned. Sucks, but it’s not the first time thats happened to me. Projects and publishers come and go in this world. Against my better judgement, I might make it into something longer and weirder now.

I’m pretty sure if my cat could talk, he would sound like Bill Skarsgard in Nosferatu.
