Exciting news! My dark dystopian anti-Ai story ‘Virtuality’ is now available in the CultureCult Press anthology ‘Starved’.
‘Virtuality’ is a tale of how Ai is destroying our world while tricking us into thinking it’s just an innocent plaything.

It has been a fantastic week! I've sold two new stories to upcoming anthologies AND I finished the first draft of a new story I've been working on for weeks!
I just love being an author. It makes me happy to create these stories and put them out there in the world for people to enjoy.

I submitted my first short story of 2026 and I love it! Real gruesome horror! It will be a while before I hear back from the publisher if they buy it, but it’s great to have a new story out there.

The life of a horror author.
I do feel this sometimes when the weather outside is beautiful, or there’s that fresh blanket of crystalline snow sparking in the sunlight, and I’m writing a story about an eldritch horror crawling out of the fetid shadows and eating people. #horror 💙📚 🩸📚 #horrorwriter
