My cli-fi novel The Idiot’s Garden is an appropriate gift for everyone on your list: readers, gardeners, idiots, snails, philosophers of biology, posthumanists, queers, and cats. Here’s a look inside:

Things are not as easily understood nor as expressible as people usually would like us to believe. Most happenings are beyond expression; they exist where a word has never intruded.

Had a lovely chat with Ivy Grimes about The Idiot’s Garden
"Is a snail hard or soft? Is a virus dead or alive? Are they man or woman? Am I a good person or a bad one? I realized at some point that what drew me so forcefully to hybrids is that I must be one myself."

My chimera of a novel, The Idiot’s Garden, arrives this Saturday, a book @ivygrimes.bsky.social called “incredibly strange and beautiful.” Read the prologue now for a tease:

This week: “The Wrong Light Brought Me Out,” a queer cosmic horror piece published by @hexliterary.bsky.social. Appended: a video of me reading the piece at Ypsilanti’s Dreamland Theater some unremembered amount of time ago.

Next: “Hilarity,” in @bruisermag.com, that house of weird. I have very little memory of writing this; I don’t know what that implies.

Happy release day to this lovely novella
Sold out within days of opening pre-orders, Painted Rocks by Parker Wilson is a runaway hit. More books have been ordered, more eBooks are waiting. Take to the woods with four scouts and their leader; adolescent maturity, a poorly held self hatred, and nowhere to go.

My debut novel, The Idiot’s Garden, will be published by Dumbo Press NY this summer. A hybrid speculative fiction novel about evolution, knowledge, time, inheritance, and three friends on a quest. More details soon.

Parker Wilson’s sensuous queer novella is available for preorder now. Check it out; it’s full of delicious sentences.
Four prospective eagle scouts set off into the woods armed only with repressed homosexuality, an inadequate chaperone, and the emotional maturity of four teenaged boys. What could go wrong?
