Going to do my duty here and make sure to keep promoting this latest flash piece. It’s fast, it’s violent, and it’s in a different genre than I normally write. Give it a read! shotgunhoney.com/fiction/blac...
After a year of focusing on craft and longer-form stories, I have now pumped out three short stories in two days. The Muse wants what the Muse wants.

Wrote a 2500 word short story today. Really happy with where it is after some initial clean up. Gonna let it sit for a few days and put it back under the knife (which is a funny turn of phrase because it’s 1 part medical horror).

I do not know why my "sleepwalkers mysteriously walk across a violent, divided America during an unfolding pandemic being investigated by a rogue government-built AI" novel WANDERERS is a buck-ninety-nine for your electromagnetic book reader of choice, but it is, so go enjoy an on-sale apocalypse?

Realizing how sedentary I am during the work day was low key scary. Standing desk, balance board, and walking pad are my personality moving forward.

Running a press is hard, but when I look at this graphic and think about all the cool books that have come from Cursed Morsels, it all feels worth it.
We're coming up on five years of Cursed Morsels, which feels absolutely wild! If you don't know us, our whole thing is anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, and pro-queer short horror and Weird fiction. If that sounds like your thing, grab something(s) from our store!
