Just over one month until the release of my novelette, "The Consort!"

In this one-sitting read, a young man makes a Faustian bargain with a fledgling demon for dating advice. Hijinks and peril ensue!

I read it in Best Horror of the Year 15. It was my favorite of the collection!

@jacobstevenmohr.bsky.social I just read “1855”, and it absolutely blew me away. Excellent story!

Curling up with the complete first draft of my novella for a read through and a round of edits. I’m unreasonably excited!

Just broke 30k words on my current WIP, so that's pretty cool.

Thanks for reading! I actually submitted a story to podcasts for the first time ever a few weeks ago. I'm certainly open to this one being narrated, too.

I'm eventually going to write a follow-up to "Wampus," as well. I'll let you know when it's done.

In my short story, "Windows and Matrimony," a wedding rehearsal goes sideways after the venue's stained glass windows turn out to be more than they appear. It will be included later this year in Tiny Terrors by @gravesidepress.bsky.social .

I finally have permission to lift the lid!

I am pleased to announce that I have signed a contract with Baynam Books Press to publish my novelette, "The Consort." In this horror-fantasy story, a young man makes a Faustian pact with a demon in exchange for dating advice. Hijinks and peril ensues!

This isn't the news I alluded to in my previous post, but I'm still pretty darn excited about it. I'm thrilled to say that my short story "Wampus" has been accepted for the forthcoming cryptid anthology from @gravesidepress.bsky.social.
