More designs have been uploaded, just in time for Halloween. I got my test shirts and I think they look great in person. Most of these should also available as mugs, hats, sweaters or socks. There's now even one for the discerning Forgetting Dolores fan. www.teepublic.com/user/deadgnome #shirts

Reads pretty well on the Kindle so far. I like adding the spaces between paragraphs so it's easy on the eyes... #booksky #writing

The story is done. The cover too. Finally. Now I have to read the whole thing (because I'm not sick of it by now) and then fix anything that needs fixing. I assume it will come in November sometime, because it follows Rude Awakening, which is coming out on Halloween. More on that later. #booksky

Me, two days ago: I'm finishing this story today! Me, yesterday: OK, today's the actual day. Me, today: OK, this is it... wait, how did I forget to write a whole segment of the story? #booksky #writing

Blocked a new "follower": some AI bot, talking about AI, while other AI bots were liking and commenting on the content. It's like a new, bizarre corner of the internet, where trained machine-monkeys clap their imaginary hands for each other. I almost miss the perverts, pretending to be women...

It's cold and dark this morning, and the wind is making the chimes bounce off the siding. I hate wind chimes. They were a gift from someone I don't particularly like, either. I should just throw them away and pretend the devil took them, riding on a storm cloud... Happy October? I'll wait for May.

You wouldn't assume from the content, but this is actually an excerpt from VULGÆR, which is growing steadily. It's definitely not coming this year... Brings back memories. #booksky #writing

A long time ago I used to mess with people's subtitles for bootleg movies. Just replace words and whole sentences in the txt files when nobody was looking. People were surprised how many times Amelie was complaining about explosive diarrhea or Nikita said her cock was itchy...

Accidentally rediscovered this Sesame Street tea that I bought in Tokyo. It's surprisingly delicious and not just a gimmick, but for the three tea bags in the box that quality is also reflected in the final price. It was sealed really well and the tea was really fragrant. Oscar is my spirit animal.

OK, here is something I can't get off my mind since writing Rude Awakening... It is still in its infancy, but someone had to do it. The horror landscape has been too Westless. It will be closer to Gordon's West than Lovecraft's, because Combs owns him forever. #booksky #writing #horror #lovecraft

So close to being done with the third installment in The Call Universe. It's a different animal. I simultaneously love it and think it's shit, as the writing gods intended...

Just saw another 5* review for Demon Wolves. Yay. I wish Amazon would notify me about new reviews so I don't have to check on all books manually... #booksky #writing

I'm a proper little Schwitters enthusiast and a few years ago got to see his Kathedrale des erotischen Elends (Cathedral of Erotic Misery), later Merzbau, in the flesh at the Sprengelmuseum in Hannover, Germany, our shared hometown. The original was destroyed in WWII, so the replica had to do.

Weather outside is frightful and whatnot. Time for a caramel apple pie and some very fragrant Earl Grey with vanilla creamer and milk. Very soothing...

I'm not nearly into football as much as when I was a kid, but a few years ago I got free tickets for Lambeau Field from one of the coaches. More than the game itself, I enjoyed some of the displays in the Packers museum, and I always liked how these hall of fame pictures turned out...

I'm so hungry and nothing sparks joy... Wish I had a plate of this curry with cutlet right now, but it'll most likely be a sandwich...

Last night didn't get terribly late, but the third installment in The Call series is still drawing to a satisfying conclusion. I might be done with this by the end of the week... #booksky #writing

I like to tinker with covers for unfinished stories to keep my mind running when I'm not writing. What makes this one interesting is that your knee jerk reaction could be "AI generated image", whereas this is using an actual photo of a wine cellar that I took in Portugal in 2012. Fun times...

Me: buys toys for myself. Elderly cashier lady: "Oh, something for the kids." Me: "Um, yes, kids. Four of them, actually. Don, Mike, Raph, and Leo." Her: "Four boys!" Me: "Yes, all great martial arts enthusiasts, too."

I sometimes realize how few pictures of me even exist, and how few of those aren't terrible. Usually, it's stuff like this, and it feels overly dramatic. Like, here's the Eiffel Tower, because I don't have a gym selfie. Because I don't go to the gym. And it shows...

The full moon hangs heavily over Minneapolis tonight, casting its golden glow upon the city like the locket of a hanged man. Its pale mind is swollen with obscene thoughts, and I can hear it whispering to me from beyond the clouds. What it has to share with me on this night makes my skin crawl...

More merch is arriving. Yay. The pillow case and pillow arrive separately and it takes a bit of effort to get it in there. I'm experienced with stuffing large objects into smaller openings, so it was no big deal, but some of you might struggle...
