Honored to share the news that my story, Grilling Time!, will be included in SATURDAY MOURNING TELEVISION. It's a horror story about a woman who begins to notice the wicked messages in a popular children's cartoon show. The show notices her back.

I'm now permanently signed off from having to work.

But I'm a person who likes to keep busy (spoons, energy, medical appointments etc not withstanding) and I will keep writing until I'm no longer able.

Please keep buying, reading, reviewing and spreading the word about my books.

Everything is broken & "AI" accelerates the disintegration of everything

Logic/reason/truth; our environment, creativity, autonomy, humanity; the already brittle human minds that use it.

How many ppl have LLMs killed?

I knew you all were fine additions to our Collegiate. Here – an ancient scroll, on which a sentence has been carved, and you must finish it: “My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity.” Continue it as you see fit, my friends.

#HorrorWritersChat
Concept art for the video-game Thief, titled ‘Dr. Troy’s Main Floor’. It’s an alchemical and medical shop of a Victorian and Gothic fashion, darkened by shadow, but the silvery glow of the moon cuts through the curtains. The floor is full to bursting with shelves of vials, containers, and phylacteries of cold, eerie colours and disturbing sizes. A Human-sized skeleton is at the back end of the room. At the foreground, we see a very disturbing, glass container of two, miniature skeletons embracing and kissing. A heavy, metallic cash machine sits at the wooden counter. No-one is in this room. No links, covers, or self-promo! Leave that for the end! Quote the post & include the hashtag! Question 4: I’ve been impressed by your answers tonight. Look at this scroll and utterance: “My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then did I understand the folly of my curiosity.” Finish it as you see fit. Create a new seal for us.

A terrible truth is we are capable of a peaceful, cooperative, flourishing society, but we choose not to live in it, because we (not just people at the top) enjoy our little sadism treats too much. This isn't hidden from humanity, lest it destroy us. Humanity destroys itself.

A moment; let me note this. The Primrose Collegiate appreciates your honesty and insight. Hm, an explosion? Yes, a seal is being pried open tonight. Now, listen carefully; what IS a Terrible Truth to you? What must be hidden from Humanity, lest it destroys us?

Concept art for the video-game Thief, titled ‘Dr. Troy’s Main Floor’. It’s an alchemical and medical shop of a Victorian and Gothic fashion, darkened by shadow, but the silvery glow of the moon cuts through the curtains. The floor is full to bursting with shelves of vials, containers, and phylacteries of cold, eerie colours and disturbing sizes. A Human-sized skeleton is at the back end of the room. At the foreground, we see a very disturbing, glass container of two, miniature skeletons embracing and kissing. A heavy, metallic cash machine sits at the wooden counter. No-one is in this room. A moment, please, while I note this. Calm down; the explosions you hear are normal. We are prying seals open tonight. But back to you; what is, to you, a Terrible Truth? And why must it be hidden from Humanity? No links, covers, or self-promo! Leave that for the end! Quote the post & include the hashtag! #HorrorWritersChat

The most terrible truths that SHOULD break us - genocides past and present, climate destruction, potential nuclear annihilation - they're revealed. But large numbers of us can just kind of see... through them. Like they're lenses. We know they're there, but we just ignore them. #HorrorWritersChat

The internet? 😆 Okay, I love being on Bluesky, but it does seem like most of humanity doesn't know how to cope with unlimited internet, & are unable to realize what's true anymore. Some places like the other place are much worse, but it seems like it gets worse & worse.

I suspect the appearance of the ideal Seal of Terrible Truths would be unimaginable, something so ghastly and unnatural that mortal minds and eyes would never comprehend it.

As for its location: the deepest darkest depths of space. Because I can't imagine anywhere scarier #HorrorWritersChat

Tonight’s attendance is most fortuitous, wouldn’t you agree? Mind the arcane energies coruscating in the laboratory; our work is, as always, dangerous. Now then, tell me; how would you describe an ideal seal containing a Terrible Truth? Where is it located?
