I had a blast at the Columbus Book Festival this past weekend. I sold a good amount of books, gained a lot of new readers, and had people come to see me specifically, which is awesome! A rainstorm even came through Saturday and we had to close up the tent with customers in it.

If you're going to be in Columbus this weekend, you should stop by the Columbus Book Festival. I'll be there Sat and Sun with the Horror Writers Association Ohio Chapter and Matt Dinniman! Tent #79.

The first review for Rootfingers on Goodreads is 5 stars. Thank you, dear reader!

Since release Rootfingers has been mostly hovering between 72 - 100 in American Horror on Amazon, which is awesome. Can it go higher? We'll see. Also, reviews are eternally appreciated!

Found this baby bird at the dog park. The branches of the tree were out of reach, so I picked him up (he fell asleep in my hand), then put him in a safer spot where all the dogs wouldn't try to play with him. Then made him a little nest with leaves and twigs.

Went to go meet the original owner of our spooky house. He's only a couple blocks down the street.

If you're going to be in the Urbana, OH area today, come on down!

Spooky house update: We now have a grotesque for our front porch. It's about 500lbs, but it's up there now!

Look at all these beautiful books.

The StokerCon hotel had this weird room (probably weren't supposed to be in there) that contained possible non-Euclidean geometry and a stage whose lights had been on all week and held an open tome in Hebrew. The room led to liminal back hallways and a rusted portal in one wall.

StokerCon 2025 was great! Love going every year.

Hanging with the awesome Adam Nevill!

First day of StokerCon 2025! Adapting Books to Film panel with Adam Neville, Jamie Flanagan, Jamal Hodge, L. Marie Wood, Clay McLeod Chapman, and Brian McAuley.

Rootfingers is out today! I can't wait for readers to get their hands on my art-inspired haunted house novella.

Whenever I leave the house or come home, I feel like somebody's watching me.

I had the privilege to read this early. You're going to want to grab a copy!

Fable no like the cone of shame.

I'm incredibly excited to announce that my novella, Rootfingers, will be coming out JUNE 10 from @wrdstories.bsky.social!

Hello readers! While I work on certain books coming out soon, why not check out my interview on Coffee Fueled Stories? youtu.be/ODSU4eyHYGw?...

Willow is one year old today!

One of the local antique stores, Kat's Cauldron, is run by this awesome goth woman. Not only is she friendly and welcoming, but she gifted me this creepy, possibly haunted, clown painting!

I told Fable to stop barking out the window and she proceeded to stare at me for an uncomfortable amount of time.

Fable graduated from her training program! And yes, she's wearing a little graduation cap.
