Hey friends, it's been a minute! At some point the social media sabbatical has to end and I'm starting by dipping my toes back into BlueSky. Gonna take me a minute to rebuild what I had on Twitter but at least I won't feel icky when I log on. In the meantime, writing continues. . . #writingcommunity

even when republicans lose the press treat them like they represent america’s real majority so it is no surprise that they would talk about a narrow victory like it’s 1964 and democrats just got goldwatered

A novella written in the vein of Dean Koontz or John Saul, The Mystery of the Pale King by Sam Flynn is an eerie read with an impactful story. You can read my full review here: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-m...

Most local libraries can help with government paperwork too. My mom was the city business librarian and she helped countless small businesses do demographic research, get registered, and connected to the city small business council. All for free. Check out your library! Talk to a librarian!

We don't learn from history because we haven't experienced those events, and humans don't learn well from being told things, we have to experience them for ourselves. History is the parent telling their kid not to make the same mistakes; humanity is the kid certain that their parent knows nothing.

As an author, I cannot stress this enough. And as a reader, I see this as an investment in my own reading future...if I love something I want more from that author! And publishers will only give authors new deals if people buy the book!

October is almost over and what better way to close out spooky season than with a double dollop of #flintlockfantasy and #cosmichorror? My novella The Mystery of the Pale King has both! Inspired by the legend of #GillesdeRais, #TheKinginYellow, #MasqueoftheRedDeath, #BloodMeridian and more.

The past month since the publication of my debut The Mystery of the Pale King has been everything I'd hoped it would be. The one question I keep getting is if there will be a sequel? The more I dwelled on it, the more real it became: Dweller in Darkness.
