My newest project, The October Children, is NOW AVAILABLE to devour! Twelve bone-thrilling tales expertly written by @patricktumblety.bsky.social that'll take you back to a Halloween you fondly remember, whichever that is!

In soft and hardcover from October Night Press: shorturl.at/JZkjA
The cover to my new illustrated storybook - The October Children, featuring a group of trick or treaters dressed as The Bride, a skeleton, a mummy, a vampire, a Frankenstein, a masked superhero, a witch, and a kid with a pumpkin head wearing a t-shirt that says "This is my Halloween costume", running from a bunch of zombies. Bats and fall leaves flutter through the air.

What does the future for Beasts of Burden look like? I miss that rag-tag crew.

I have several stories coming out this year (a novel, an illustrated book, and an awesome anthology), and I can't wait to share them with you. Until then, I'll be writing my heart out all weekend.

Love you all. Be good to each other.

It's been a YEAR since the release of Sincerely, Departed. I'm honored to be included with such awesome stories and authors, and proud of my story, #4Life.

Thanks to @catvoleur.bsky.social and @frommausoleum.bsky.social for their creation!

#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth!

They say, "Write the book you can't find on the shelf," so I wrote a survival horror story about growing up with #OCD and #anxiety. Hopefully, someone will read it and discover they are not alone.

You are not alone.

Spent 600 on PS5 because it was still unavailable at stores and came with a few games that made the price worth it. A guy I know bought one when they were scarce and his wife was so mad she made him sell it. I still feel bad for him, but hey, don’t make financial decisions without your partner 😛

I was hoping for better prices and access. Instead, we still pay for limited virtual consoles, digital prices rising, and a camera sold separately. They even want us to pay extra for a tech demo. I also doubt they will have enough available at launch. I don't expect to be able to play it until 2026.

For those who need to hear this: sometimes it’s better to forego the map and follow your compass.

My absolute excitement for this year's #ScaresThatCare is EXTREME! I had a blast at my first one last year, and now that I have a novel out and doing readings, I am over the moon. I even get to represent the art and importance of Self-defense. I can't wait to see my fellow authors!

I’m so excited for Scares That Care next week! Going to be selling, signing, reading, and giving a self-defense talk.

I can’t wait!

A silly answer, but I get a kick out of thinking that one of the hundreds of Koopas you stomp on lvl 1 survives and starts weight-training and adding spikes to his shell to hunt Mario down in later lvls. (Maybe Yoshi did on one of his early baby Mario adventures and that’s Bowser’s origin story.)
