There is a lot of bs out there to distract you from what really matters.

The most important thing is to remember to tell your loved ones how much you care, every time. Do what makes YOU happy, don't let anyone stand in the way of that. Time is fast and life is short, make the best out of it

Didn't this used to be called "The Day After Tomorrow"? 😂

My horror collection, Ravings of an Unsettled Mind, became a finalist in the short story/ anthology category for the Feathered Quill Awards!

Pic altered since I "don't smile enough." 😁

Thank you for the consideration!

In lieu of the recent hubbub over the #anglerfish footage, I created prob one of my best #autograph #doodles

The concept of this creature of darkness coming up to the light of the surface to die is very reminiscent of the last story in this collection, "The Final Sunrise."

The quest embarks!
I'm traveling up to Ithaca to pick up the new Tenebris cover art for the Unholy Quest!

May Thandrua watch over my travels

Wow what a deal! I already had my mind blown when they had Donald Duck as a guest. It's awesome to see such an odd, unique, and great show succeed so well.

Great job guys and keep the content to the highest quality

You ever finish up a book and just feel a mix sense of completion and sorrow?

Just wrapped up an ARC read for Jonah Blackstone 5 and I was so excited going through the whole story, but now it's over. I truly love this series so much and it's so awesome to see Jonah grow.

Cannot wait for book 6!
