The people who made fun of me for watching wrestling are the same people sharing AI slop all day

I get around. The Wilke World Tour starts now! Catch me at these upcoming cons and don't forget about my comics course at the end of March.

I'm teaming up with PNWA to teach YOU how to write comics! This class goes over the basics of writing a comic script, how to land an artist, and how to pitch your book to industry titans like Image Comics (or produce it yourself through crowdfunding) followed by an in person Q&A.

Anyone seeing this has had a hard week and deserves at least four books

Hedone was run by perpetual non-payer Caitlin Marceau. Avoid this editor when they inevitably launch their next project. To all Hedone authors affected, you have my sympathies and I’m sorry this is happening to you.

Getting a visit from the ghost of Christmas constipation

From undesirable to undeniable, thank you all for making this the best year of my life. Four published short stories. Multiple appearances both in person and on TV. Countless more irons in the fire I cannot announce...yet. And we're just getting started. See you in 2026.

The ghost of Christmas past is too good for Elon he needs a visit from the ghost of rusty nail sounding

Technically speaking, pinball has parry mechanics

Will never get used to this feeling.

Mario is a more forgiving man than me because under no circumstances would I invite my biggest opp to go kart racing

Happy launch day to this beautiful anthology featuring my short LET IT GUSH.

As a society and culture, we have to go back to first principals with regards to the humanities and philosophy or we aren't going to make it as a civilization. We need to teach our children the vast difference between a human being and a telephone.

There comes a time in every man’s life when he buys a sick ass jacket that defines who he is. That time for me is here.

It is officially soup weather

So Sinners and Frankenstein have to sweep every award ceremony, right?

So happy to announce I am in TWO upcoming anthologies. Let it Gush will be in Best of Carnage House Volume Two and A New King is Born will be in Lovecraftian Microfiction Collection 11!

UNITED FOREVER IN FRIENDSHIP AND LABOR

With friends nothing bad can happen only the good can happen

Upgraded my stereo speakers today to some Polk towers. Listening party at my place and I'm the only one invited.

Only five seats left for my reading this Saturday! If you’re in the Seattle area and want to have a fun spooky time, come hang out

October jams - bottom two rows are recent vinyl pick ups.

ACAB includes my mom when she tells me to turn down my music >:[

I like everything about Silent Hill f except for the gameplay. Exploration is boring and the combat is not fun for me at all. The music and visuals though? 😩 🧑‍🍳 💋

To Catch a Predator reboot but hosted by Mark Henry

With these two I’ve finally collected Death’s entire studio discography. Easily one of my favorite bands of all time. Way better than the Beatles. Chuck Schuldiner could have wrote Eight Days A Week but Paul McCarthy could never write Pull the Plug.
