I’m an Indie author with multiple publications in the Horror, Science Fiction, and Nonfiction genres. I’ve been working professionally since 2006, initially cutting my teeth in the Role Playing Game (RPG) industry.

I’m a giant fan of THE WALKING DEAD, the MCU, STEPHEN KING, and STAR TREK.
Josh Update: I'm feeling better today. So much better, I tried doing my daily chores. I got about halfway through and had to stop. I was exhausted. Thankfully, the youngest boy child (he's really a man) stepped in and finished for me. Sick and old people, sick and old.

Oddly enough, I could have been happy with this. Although, since this is the comic book version, it should be Andrea and not Michonne.

I used to celebrate when someone unfriended or unfollowed me. I figured I was doing something right and driving the assholes away. I still feel that way, but I don't celebrate. It's too exhausting. Now I think, meh, your loss, not mine. You do you, boo.

Josh Update: I just finished my first hot shower in 10 days. I've been using the adult bathing wipes, which, while they do get you cleanish, are in no way satisfying. Now, if I could get rid of this fucking drainage tube and bag, I'd feel almost 100% human again.

I'm feeling better today, moving around and not wincing all of the time. BUT, yesterday I did break my damn glasses. Now I'm wearing my backup pair and hoping that I don't end up with a migraine. *fingers crossed*

Yeah, why didn't you check on me in the hospital? I know you keep tabs on me.

Just a quick update for everybody who's wondering where I've been. Thursday night I had to have emergency surgery on my gallbladder. It was completely dead and full of gangrene. I'm recovering at home now. And that's about it I don't know how much I'll be online but I'm here I'm alive. yay!
