The 2025 Cosmic Horror Holiday Gift Guide
I am elated to introduce the tenth edition of my List of Lists for 2023. Just as in times of yore, together we shall unearth an abundance of accoutrement and a plethora of paraphernalia for the weird-fiction fanatic, cosmic-horror connoisseur, or mythos maniac in your life. But I have not toiled in isolation during this season of malediction. This year I have enlisted your help!

Read My New Short Story – REM State: fieldwork.
For a recent scary story night, I decided to explore a setting that had been rattling around in my head for a while. REM State is unrelated to The Bell Forging Cycle, but it shares a similar DNA. I like massive cities and weird creatures, what can I say? I don't write short stories all that often, but instead of filing this one away and forgetting about it, I figured it'd be fun to release it.

Uly Pupdate: Summer 2025
He's now a year and a half old, and we've had a significant summer! Uly got fixed in June, and as is common in large breeds, he also underwent a gastropexy to prevent GDV. As a result, the beginning of the summer was a bit slow. We did get him a little suit to keep him from picking at his sutures, and as a benefit, it made him look like a little man from the turn of the century, about to go for a swim and an egg cream at the beach.

Business cards, yes! Manuscript, no! Also "networking" is just about getting to meet people! Tell people about your work if they ask! Keep it really short if they do! If they don't bring it up, just be a cool human they can know! If an agent/editor says "send me work," do it when you get home!

Creativity Within Stillness
When we moved to the island, Uly was still a young puppy. So, when I began taking him for walks around the area, I usually found myself going without earbuds or headphones. Initially, I did this so I could listen for approaching vehicles, other dogs, mountain bikers, or general hazards a big, silly puppy might be oblivious to. However, as time passed, I found myself increasingly relishing those moments of mental stillness.

A Flower Post
Spring is in full swing here in the PNW, and the flowers of our garden are popping off! So I figured I'd share some photos of the blooms around the place. Many of these had died back by the time we moved into the place, so it's been lovely to experience them in person. Most of these came with the property; only the cosmos and the pink rose have been planted by us, but they're just the start. There's much more to come over the next few years.
