World is a horror show yet again, but I wanted to highlight this Defenders story I wrote for the new Marvel: Black, White, & Blood and Guts #4.
In particular, I added a shout out to @cgolden.bsky.social & @briankeene.bsky.social whose Defenders Dialogue podcast got me back into the team.

This was worth reading, nice for us aspiring writers. I say you writing this instead of that other current events idea was gold and good for the soul in the #HardTimes.
Thank you.

Tradwife's been flagged by The Book Place We Do Not Name for "content violations" - on account of its "blood" and "dismembered organs" (presumably on the cover)
It's our bestselling book, which we now can't advertise on the place where most people (alas) still buy books
Happy New Year!

My new novel!
Gargoyles. Demons.
A lost cathedral.
A forgotten speakeasy.
A 1990s era horror novel, as written by a 2025 era dark fantasist.
A sequel, but you don’t need to have read the first.
