Welcome to my current wip… temporarily titled DARK.

This queer, historical horror novella has a monster that demands flesh, fucking cowboys, & more trans rage than I know what to do with. Aiming to be done with this by the beginning of 2026.

With their attempts at coming out repeatedly thwarted and the attempts on their life getting more and more serious, Andy realizes they’re being stalked by their pre-transition doppelganger—and she won’t stop until she’s taken the life they thought they’d left behind

Wyoming, 1902.

Jesse is still running — this time to a small ranch north of the Great Plains, where he’s secured work as a farm hand. But the Beast is always close behind… and every time it finds him, it demands more and more of his flesh.

My outline for DARK wip is almost done, so I booked a short writing retreat for myself to start getting those words down! The lake is right outside and the owner has cats! ☀️

With everything going on in the US, it’s so hard to be creative.

Despite that, we need to create. Write it out. Write out of spite. Tear up the page with words. Until your fingers cramp and gasp.

Someone said my most recent novel had too many evil gay men jacking off and fucking. 🫠 Well, just wait until you read my next book, buddy 🖤

I’m on a wonderful group holiday and as we near the end I fear that the human shape is faltering.

(Lycanthropy or neurodivergence?? The answer is yes’)

The reason that weighted blankets help my anxiety is that my body remembers what it is like to be swaddled in mammoth furs, and it yearns.
