Hi! I’m Connor, and I write queer horror! My first novel “Patient No. 8” debuted back in July. It’s a psychological horror book about gay conversion therapy. My second novel “Looney Lynda Darcey” is a slasher about learning to accept yourself in a world that won’t. It releases 2026! #booksky

Less progress on this word count #weeklyupdate on account of the Holiday. Didn’t hit the 8k goal, but got around 6k unless my math is bad. Next week will be hitting the ground running again.

If you ever feel like you’re bad at marketing or graphic design, I present to you a banner currently on the outside of the Asheville Mall where they forgot to put the “Tree” at the end of their call to action. Great Job. No notes.

Word count #WeeklyUpdate! Sitting at just over 16K, so meeting my goals, but not going as strong as I’d have hoped. Will be trying some new things next week to get the ball rolling a little quicker. #booksky #indieauthor

She is watching and stalking her prey!
"Looney Lynda Darcey" releases in 2026 and brings a new face to the slasher genre. Inspired by gruesome classics like "Friday the 13th" and otherworldly sci-fi like "Stranger Things," Lynda brings blood and madness to the page!

Not a single counter protestor while I was there (could have been some after I left or ones I just didn’t see), which just goes to show that the people who support this are a very small, very cowardly minority. The people are speaking loud and clear. #FDT #NoKings #AshevilleNC
