I just finished drafting what will probably be my last short story of 2025. It's been, altogether, a productive year. This year I've managed to write 1 novella 5 short stories 1 flash fiction piece. It doesn't look like much, but it totals to about 10k more words than I wrote in 2024.

After a lot of deliberation, my press and I have mutually parted ways. This, sadly, means that “The Consort” will not be released this month, as originally announced.

I picked up "Don't Forget the Girl" by @rebeccamckanna.bsky.social at the Kansas Book Festival this year, and I was not disappointed. It's such a wonderful, emotional, and complex look at grief and relationships. 5/5 would recommend.

Hey authors, don’t forget that if you use bookshop.org instead of that great big place, you will be helping out indie bookshops - very few of who make so much they are dabbling with building rockets - you can even choose which bookshop uk.bookshop.org/shop/booksho...

Threads is talking about how Stephen King was everyone's introduction to reading. I love King, but he wasn't who got me started. No, mine came from @realmickfoley.bsky.social. He had the nerve to write a 500+ page autobiography, and teenage me ATE IT UP. I wouldn't be where I am today without it.

Back when I was working as a research assistant, the peer reviewer for a paper I was helping to revise, rather humorously, mistakenly remarked that "the awkward is writing." But, seriously, I want "The Awkward is Writing" on a mug or a poster.

Who I am: I'm a professor and horror writer based out of Western Kansas. During the day, I write academic articles on medieval literature. By night (and whenever I can swing the free time), I pen macabre stories about things like books bound in human skin and Faustian bargains!
