Hi new followers!
I am a culture writer and memoirist based in Kingston, Ontario. I write about music, film, tv, technology, games, mental illness, and the occult. My essay collections contain my entire essence: BE SCARED OF EVERYTHING, and HOW TO RESTORE A TIMELINE.
I hope we can be friends.

How To Restore a Timeline is a holiday story about violence and memory. It takes place on a special variant of December 27, 2006—one that never ends, overlapping and consuming all time that dares come after.
And I hear it makes a great gift, available everywhere you buy books.

You are the last drink I never should drunk.
You are the body hidden in the trunk.
You are the habit I can't seem to kick.
You are my secrets on the front page every week.
You are the car I never should have bought.
You are the train I never should have caught.
You are the cut that makes me hide my—

As Halloween approaches, I am contractually obligated to Camio, the bird president of hell, to promote my first book BE SCARED OF EVERYTHING: HORROR ESSAYS. It's got chapters on everything terrible, from cannibalism and witches to chainsaws and UFOs to sleep paralysis and death.
Get it anywhere!

HOW TO RESTORE A TIMELINE is two years old. My monster mash of memoir and criticism exploring the experience of PTSD is my less popular book, but I love it and I'm proud of it. Thank you to everyone who has supported this one with your blurbs, reviews, and recommendations—you're all diamonds.

It's hard to believe, but last week was the five year publication anniversary of Be Scared of Everything: Horror Essays. Thank you to all the pro-cannibalism, anti-god sickos out there that have kept this evil little book of curses alive. You're all diamonds.
