I made cheesy chorizo scrambled eggs for brunch, and that's just a cozy hug in a bowl.

As promised: I will reopen to queries June 16th for two weeks or until my inbox hits 750 submissions (as it did last time I opened for eleven days!). I love a strong voice and a multi-layered work. Looking for a unique thriller/suspense/mystery, fantasy, horror, or edgy romance particularly!

Using an AI to write a novel has to be kind of embarrassing, right? Certainly cheap and tacky. Like using autotune and pretending you can sing.

A Higgs Boson walks into a Catholic Church and says, "Sorry I'm late." The priest smiles. "That's okay. We couldn't have Mass without you."

If you're a writer, some people say you should write everyday. I don't think that's necessary or feasible. But I do think you should try to read everyday, if you can.

A woman came into the bookshop where I work this morning and asked for a book her sister had recommended. She couldn't remember the title, genre or author, only that it was about "a man who lives in a house."

I have a lot of anger about the state of the world, but I don’t shout about it online. Anyone who’s read STARS AND BONES, DESCENDANT MACHINE, or FUTURE’S EDGE will know that I channel it into my writing, where it smoulders behind the narrative like background radiation.

A friend of mine got one of my punchlines done as a tattoo. Now I guess the joke’s on him.
