The best way to motivate yourself to do chores is by setting aside time to write.

I’ve consumed the Doctors and the Whos and the Widows and the Bays. Next up: The Dungeons and the Carls I’m told the series is totally similar to what I write, despite it being more sci-fi, so I look forward to this. #dungeoncrawlercarl #widowsbay #doctorwho

It’s shocking how often people confuse being skeptical with being cynical. Not the same. #conspiracies

I keep hearing that, apparently, it’s important to have been to more than one rodeo. I’m at zero, but as far as I can tell, I wasn’t born yesterday. #nerd #humor

Author’s girth: How thick, dense, and impenetrable an author’s writing is. Often enhanced in order to impress. #humor

For those who have read my first book, Consumia’s Spiritual Emporium, this is the bar from chapter two. They sees a commercial for CSE and decides to cross the street and check it out. (That space is actually a Chipotle) Do you know where my friend Dave is sitting? #books

No one told me I’d get “girl reading book 5 in a hot tub” pics before I published. So, yeah, that’s pretty cool. Wide-Eyed Wyatt’s Liquid Nap. Plus, a shout out to Tony’s Darts Away. #books #hottub #craftbeer

Omg…I finally finished this draft! It addressed editor’s notes and should’ve taken a month This was thirteen freaking months! To be fair, I gave her a crappy document and it cost me a yr Now, two-three quicker drafts to go Next up, all the notes I took this year are front and center #editing

While in an Uber, my friend AJ texted me and dared me to ask my driver where the bathroom was. Freaking weirdo. But I did. “Hey man, where’s your bathroom?” The driver whipped his head to side-eye me. “What!?” “Nothing” #writing #humor

As the Jimothy exposure slowly fades, followed by an inevitable surge when he eventually passes, don’t fall for it! He might not fully go away… I smell something coming. It might take a minute to flesh out, maybe a year

Curious how many people I know in Albuquerque, as my first two books are now available at a cool collectibles, comics, and vinyl store, Astro-Zombies. Chris is cool AF. Tell him I said “Hi” #albuquerque

A female couple is talking, one holding a dog. I wasn’t listening, but learned Amelie’s name when they broke into harmony, singing “Am-el-eeeee” as the chorus of a song. Amelie wiggled her tail. And they continued conversing like nothing happened. Normalize jump-cuts to sing your pet’s name!

In short, in The Omnist series, Executive Saints are the upsells of the Emporium’s freemium model. I sometimes wear this pin. It’s fiction though. Right? #books #author

The visceral, grotesque reaction to hearing somebody in the bathroom stall next to you on their phone watching videos. “You know, we’re living in a society!” Where’s George when you need him? #seinfeld

As a Tigers fan, I have to admit this is breaking my heart. And living in LA for 30 years, I don't hate the Dodgers. Going to a game next week. But Michigan forever. #detroit

The thing about these (used-to-be-rare) humid summer mornings in Los Angeles is that it’s perfect weather right now. Key words: right now Don’t check on me in four hours.

The physicality of Yksian was inspired by Peter Steele of Type O Negative (RIP). On stage Peter would drink red wine from the bottle, and he was so tall it that looked like a beer. Yksian is a key character in five of the first six books in The Omnist series. #booksky #goth

A toddler standing in line with her Mom at a coffee shop keeps reaching out to people and saying “‘Scuse me. ‘Scuse me” and smiling, as if she thinks it means hello. I’m dying. #kids

As a craft beer nerd and author of this book, coupled with crippling self-deprecation, I find this funny.

If you run 10k several times a week but never in an organized race, people consider you a runner. Same notion w writing: If you write for a couple hours several times a week but have never published, you are a writer.

Two years ago today I released my sixth book, The Soul Phone Collector, and one of these screen grabs is a sticker I still use as my phone's wallpaper. The other I grabbed last year on Halloween in order to capture a specific time. I think it looks cool. Today's a good day to share.

I saw a Zoomer out in the wild wearing a Rolling Stones tee When encountering: 1. Do NOT ask them to name 3 songs 2. Do NOT name 30 songs 3. Do NOT remind them they weren’t even born yet 4. Do NOT ask their age 5. DO say “Great album. I have that on vinyl” These rules will improve everyone’s day

The guitar has a skin strap, intestines for strings, a bone bridge, and teeth as tuners. The body and neck are made from an extinct tree, the last cut down a thousand years ago. #books #horrorcomedy
