My newest piece and first attempt at Creative Nonfiction. "Weekends at Grandpa's" Thanks to @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social for giving this (relatively) sentimental story a home. www.bloodhoneylit.com/cnf/weekends...

As the year comes to a close, here's a quick look at my publications for 2025. In 2024, I closed out the year with 4 publications in as many months. A streak that rolled into 2025 for 6 months straight. Thankful to each and every publisher that was willing to give my work a home.

After disappointing news that an anthology I was set to be a part of got cancelled. I just received fantastic news that pulled me out of that funk. Can't wait for this story to drop next year. Thanks to Starlite Pulp for the inclusion of their review. #pulp #noir www.instagram.com/p/DQ7x5nTkp4...

Going to have to agree with you here. Absolutely love this midnight matinee gem.

Enjoying my book mail today. Special thanks to the wonderfully twisted mind of @beaujohnson44.bsky.social and his lastest turn in the Bishop Rider series.

Not sure how this film slipped past my radar, but I corrected that error on my part last night. Do yourself the favor and watch LaRoy, Texas (2023) from Writer/Director Shane Atkinson. Some really good performances from Dylan Baker, John Magaro and Steve Zahn.

Finished up 2024 with my fourth go around of Catch-22. The only book I've read more times is Slaughterhouse Five (currently 7x's)
