When I was 25 and a public school teacher it really dawned on me that a big part of teaching was being the person people delegated their kids to for most of the day. The ire some parents would show when I had to call was insane.
I was also shocked to see most of my colleagues go to A SECOND JOB.

Sometimes I reflect on how jobs like teacher, musician, artist, & writer earn so little (and the latter few considered “lucky” to land and “privilege”) when people go to school, play games, read and listen to music EVERY DAY.
Meanwhile, I have never (& will never) opened a stock app.

Honestly? A huge fuck you to all the ChatGPT-assisted assholes in my inbox trying to pretend they've read my books so that they can sell me something. There's a special place in hell for the lot of you. And I hope you know that pretty much every creator ever hates your fucking guts. Cool, right?

We have now officially DOUBLED our funding goal
I want to say thank you, so much. SINK YOUR TEETH IN is a story I've wanted to tell for years, and having never done a Kickstarter before I was a little nervous before launch.
This is such an incredible show of support and I am impossibly grateful.

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.
I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.
