DAD BODIES is in the hands of two editors from different publishers at the moment. Exciting times!

That said, I'm considering a #kickstarter campaign. Surely there are readers interested in a tale about middle-aged #ttrpg dads caught in a deadly supernatural campaign? 😏

#LateNightWrite

I work on 1 WIP at a time and have around 20 high-concept ideas in the pocket 😅
#LateNightWrite Do you work on multiple WIPs or just a single WIP at a time? How do you juggle multiple projects, if you do? If you don’t, how many backburner ideas do you have at the moment?

Do you want to know a secret?

Alice doesn’t recommend it. Secrets lead to curses and accusations, quests and fighting for your life. Admittedly, they can also lead to unexpected friendships and a world of magic. Proceed with caution.

BOY PARTS x OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA
Selene is a curator hollowed by grief for a vanished artist. Her devotion rots into obsession, blurring the line between archivist and art, self and subject until she becomes something stranger: a ghost in the living.

Sef is tasked by the local royal family to use his magic to find their missing prince. There's just one problem: Sef doesn't actually *have* any magic, and if anyone discovers he's a fraud, he'll be executed. This is fine.

When Krista reads a reddit post by an estranged husband, she becomes convinced that his wife is in danger, and determined to find a way to save her. But the further down the rabbit hole she goes, the less certain she is of her own motives--or her own sanity.

'A King’s Ransom' recipe:

1 part Buffy the Vampire Slayer
1 part Welcome to Night Vale
1 part Sandman Slim

Directions: Shake it like a newborn w/ no neck support and serve intravenously.

Rated R for rage, ruin, and raw chaos.
