My first book, up for pre-order now! I hope if you decide to check it out that you enjoy it! A variety of tales to satiate your horror taste buds. It's pulpy, it's funny, it's tragic, It's creepy, and at times, it's campy. Thank you, always. x

The next Tempered Tales is long overdue so the next one will be in 2026. The theme? Little Red Riding Hood. I’m still hammering out the details, but I do know the short story word count will be a max of 2500 words. There will be poetry. And. SD doesn’t know yet. Start writing.

The second project I'm in the midst of is an anthology I put together called Women of the Weird West, coming out next year from @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social. The invited stories are excellent, and the open-sub stories (over 250 submissions!!) are really wow'ing me!
