Heather and I have been going through a lot lately, so I think it’s important to say: I love that woman. So much.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Still a very long way to go stripping out the old and rewriting, but it's getting there.

Happy book launch day to Amanda M. Blake!

Mommy made it back in time for Beanie’s birthday. She’s 7! We also celebrate Bodhi’s bday today, as we don’t know his.

Gage put out some songs today. So proud of him. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The hardest part about twisting myself into knots to make my back feel a little better is figuring out how Beanie fits into the equation.

Much needed naps are a bit crowded these days.

Two major plot holes in my current wip have kept me in a bit of a slump lately. Well, that and this dumb back pain. But I have notes for the fixes now, and despite not being able to do things on my preferred timeline, I have a plan to get it done regardless. Fingers crossed.

I love this guy. Look at that neck chub.

My man is back, feeling like his old self. So glad to have him happy again.

What people might know about Bean is that she must be pet 99.9% of the time or she’ll float away.

Bodhi is much better today. Still some slight panting but that’s been it. He has his energy back and is eating his bland diet well. Much more active. Hoping we’re out of the woods.

Bodhi update: doctor didn’t find anything. So they’re sending him home with meds and he has to go on a bland diet. Follow up at our vet when they’re open again. Thanks for all the positive energy, folks. I’ve been a bit of a wreck about it all.

Please keep Bodhi in your thoughts. He isn’t feeling well. I think we’re going to take him to the hospital.

Thing about having a beard is, sometimes things get lost in there. I once went through an entire meeting without realizing I had a ramen noodle in there.

Heather and I have different strengths. One of hers is that’s she’s the kindest person I’ve ever met. Another is that she can carry the weight of the world if she has to. She’s so much stronger than me in that way. That’s why each night I always ask her to say the words:

What’s the best writing advice you've received?

Yesterday was a big surgical day for Construct. So much to strip out and fix. I started at 92k, removed A LOT, rewrote a bunch, nearing the halfway point, and ended up at 95k. Still much work to be done. Feels like every thread I pull, five more come with it. Hope it all pays off.

Had someone stop by the table to tell they’d bought These Trespasses—my first novel way back when—and liked it so much that they’d been passing it around to their friends, who also enjoyed it. And that, my friends, made my night.

Ready to go at Monster Mania. Stop by and say hi if you’re around Oaks, PA.

Slow going, but on chapter 22 of 58 on this book I've been plucking away at between editing gigs. The best part? I'm just really enjoying it. That's what matters most to me.

Last show of the year for me.

Hell yeah!

For Torrid Waters, I will be looking at novellas, novels, and short story collections under a wide pulp fiction / extreme horror umbrella this go around. Hope to see something from you. Make sure to address your cover letter to me for those submissions.

If y'all don't have FEAR OF CLOWNS yet, the hardcover is on sale for just over $10. It's cheaper than the paperback! @kennethwcain.bsky.social and @kkfilms.bsky.social did a great job loading this up with fantastic writers and stories. www.amazon.com/Fear-Clowns-...

If you haven't checked out One of Us yet, time is running out. The sheer number of stories from incredible writers in this anthology is a great tribute to Frank. If you didn't know Frank, you'll know most, if not all, of the writers.

Watching The Bear. Jamie Lee Curtis!!! That is all. Just…amazing.

Fear of Clowns Czech edition. How cool is that cover?

All set up and ready to go. Ran into a few people including this guy.

I'll be there. Will you?
