Preorder link is in my pinned post — Lucent Dreaming will be publishing The Restorative Artist in the UK in Sept 2026!

Just getting started here on Bluesky. I would love to connect with readers & other writers - so please say hi.

Seeking a US publisher & agent, querying next book!

My doppelgänger horror story “House & Helvete” appeared in issue 3.3 of The Dread Machine. Pick up a copy of the issue here:

“Sideshow” —my technoir novelette—appeared in
Palisatrium’s Short Story Substack. Queer, near-future cyberpunk navigating the ragged edges of health inequality and the death-throes of freedom under capitalism.

“Holy Land” is online at Scrawl Place after originally appearing in Canthius and being shortlisted for the Aurora Prize for Fiction. A young funeral director follows his artist crush to an abandoned religious theme park. It’s free to read here: scrawlplace.com/2024/06/04/h...

Short(er) fiction from the past year:

If you like pen & pencil games, A SACRIFICE is a minimalist dark fantasy TTRPG for two, with world building shared between the players. At its heart, it’s a story about trust and dependency. Free or PWYW to download.

This year, I’m looking to home THE RESTORATIVE ARTIST, my queer literary novel with a dash of body horror. An embalmer haunted by the death of his lover pulls apart his relationship & his funeral home to escape the pain of grief. Think 6 FEET UNDER x A LITTLE LIFE. #amquerying #writingcommunity
