80% of my reading is by audiobook--accessibility, multi-tasking (I can read while doing something else).
But my own books have never made it into audiobook form (traditionally published, so not my call). That's about to change, at least for my indie work! I'm so excited!

So, anybody up for a book fair this afternoon? If you're in my corner of North Carolina, you should come by and say hello.

Here's one of those books I was supposed to read as a youngster that just totally missed me. So happy to be reading Wizard of Earthsea now, though. It's a delight! Have you read it?

There's something very wrong in Thurstrop Wood.Mark Warner never noticed it before. He's there to get away from his life, his ailing mother. Out of his head. Not to think about anything.Birds sing in ...

I'm Michael, I write queer cosmic and supernatural horror (and sometimes sci fi).
The men in my stories are all saved by being queer. While queerness is NOT 100% immunity from toxicity, in my stories it leads them to greater willingness to inspect & process their own emotions.

Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.
