Today this book is 1 year old! And, being what I can only describe as Canadian AF, it’s the perfect read for Canadian Indie Horror Month. It’s a short, woodsy, slashery, eco-friendly tale in which the earth itself, via the spirit of an undead lumberjack, demands blood. And blood it will have. 🩸🪓🇨🇦

"I'm sorry" and "I apologize" mean the same thing... Except at a funeral.

Today is Earth Day. And you know what pairs well with Earth Day? ⁠ Eco horror. ⁠ ⁠ And you know what book is eco horror? ⁠ This one. ⁠ ⁠ So go find a nice tree to sit under and read this blood-soaked little book! And then leave it alone and don't cut it down.⁠ 🌎️ #booksky #horror #slasher #earthday ⁠

As an author, as any type of creative, seeing this in response to something you're working on means more than can be expressed. 🥹🙏 #booksky #author #indieauthor

I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews on games along the lines of “this isn’t exactly what I wanted, even though it was exactly what was promised”. I can’t overstate how much more joy you will have if you allow art to unfurl in front of you, instead of demanding it be what you imagine you want.

Took me fourteen years to land the agent I wanted and get the deal I wanted. If I had stopped after a decade, nothing would’ve happened. If I stop now, nothing else will happen. Keep at it. Always.

If I didn't know better, I'd say the goal of #Yellowjackets was to cram as many songs from the 80s and 90s into as short a period a time as possible. This is not a complaint. 🙂

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
