Last time, I shared a blog. This time, it’s my book. If you grew up in FEAR STREET and POINT HORROR, or ya dig dark portal fantasy with existential horror, and lots of jokes, you should dig it. I hope you do!

This might be the most important interview any creator sees this year. Was definitely the highlight of my year.

Please watch this interview with legendary Disney Imagineer Terri Hardin: youtu.be/pfN9nt-I2uU

And as always, here is the news: youtu.be/NP_hm5nkilo

This book totally turned me around on making soup. I haven’t made all the recipes, but I have yet to try one I didn’t love. Who knew soup could be so satisfying and soothing?

An ohh-white book cover featuring. Two bowls, both filled with soup. One soup is green and yellow, the other is mostly orange and red. Both a full of vegetables and beans and spices. The title, in red, reads: “Soup Club.” The subtitle, in black, reads: “80 Cozy Recipes for creative, plant-based Soups and Stews to share.” The author is Caroline Wright. In the bottom right corner is a red icon in the shape of an Instant Pot that says, “Instant Pot Friendly.”

Chickpea and Okra stew today. Warms you to the marrow. Thinking of renaming it Tranquil Stew.

I like the comma in “The year 2,000.”

And the “Hey, it’s just an opinion” whites. For years they spat nothing but of geysers of racist, violent shit. And when the rest of us called em out, more whites jumped to their defense, allowing them one step closer to the White House until they were inside and Nazis were marauding in the streets.

The last ten years have felt like that for me. Things are finally moving in the right direction. I hope the universe lets up on you much sooner.

Cover reveal for HOTEL MACABRE VOL2. So sad this one can't be out in time for Halloween. Expect this one to hit the shelves in January. I'll share the full TOC later this month. Cover by Maarten van Vuuren.

Until then, definitely check out Vol.1! ;-)

Hey book lovers!

Things will be quiet the next two weeks as I am going on vacation (and I’m not giving the password to anyone 😂🤭), but I wanted to say thank you for all of your support this week and remind you to keep supporting indie bookstores while I’m away.

Wow. Sorry for getting so dark! I hope I’m wrong. I NEED to be wrong. But I’m not so sure that I am. I’m wrong about most things though. So, the fuck do I know?

Too many of us will want to return to normal instead of taking the opportunity to clear out the rot at the heart of our dying system. Then, just when we think we’re stable again, an authoritarian who knows how to keep his fucking mouth shut will step in and fuck it all up for good.

Millions of people were gaslit into believing that the Civil War was about Sate Rights. January 6th is little more than a punchline now. My fear is that we will all be so traumatized by what’s happening that we won’t want to go after the turd Reich.

I hope so. I really do. But Americans have short memories. Brush something under the rug fast enough, and they’ll forget. We have Nazis kidnapping people in broad daylight and people are still arguing if it’s fascist or not.

Looking forward to it!

I’ve been thinking a lot about otherness in horror. I think we need more horror from the other’s perspective, to look at the rest of society with uncertainty and fear. It feels more honest. So, while the timing of such a topic may raise an eyebrow, the theme should definitely be explored.

I’m so happy that Peacemaker wasn’t about a multiversal war. It wasn’t about stopping Armageddon. It was about 2 shattered people accepting that they are worthy of love. That’s good shit.
