Grappling with some serious existential & financial angst today. Friendly reminder I've got two fun books with big ideas out that cool readers seem to really enjoy. Would love for you to check 'em out, too
As a debut indie author, I’m really grateful to have found the readers I have with these two books. Would be honored to have them considered alongside 2025’s other great new releases!

His body hung limp on our door, always facing inside, never out.
When I asked my mom about this, she said, “Well, we wouldn’t want to scare the children.”
“It scares me though,” I said. “I’m a child.”

We filmed this in our house, with a special guest appearance from @patrickbarb.bsky.social as our Expert in the Occult. It was a blast. It was a pain. But I'm so glad we did it. Without further ado: youtu.be/6x1RXIhKhD4
