Absolutely thrilled that my story “Demon in Repose” gets to share a TOC with these fabulous writers! Ever wonder how the projectionist of your nightmares really feels? What if Fuseli had it all wrong? Also look at this stunning cover!

My wife & I have started taking turns weekends/evenings playing with our toddler so the other can do their art.
I’m finally back to getting editing and some writing done, and for the first time in almost half a decade, my wife is drawing again. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see her back at it.

It’s Sunday and the world is burning, but you can’t fight if you’re burned out, so take care of yourself. Read. Create. Check on your friends and family. Spend time with your pet. Go for a walk. Watch a movie. Eat tacos. Hope you have a good one.
