Moonrising is only $2.99 on Amazon Kindle! Moonrising is a near future sci-fi romance about the first lunar colony. It's cozy & optimistic with complex characters, lots of science & chickens in space. If you loved Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid or are an Andy Weir fan, this one's for you!

The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

Today is pub day for Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine! However much writing can be a solitary act, putting a book out definitely isn’t. Thanks to Stillhouse Press and all of Tell Me Yours’ many champions.

My first book is out now. I hope you like it.

Had more fun doing this interview with @momoshaty.bsky.social for @nighttidemag.bsky.social than I think you’re allowed to have doing interviews?? Talked genre hopscotch, long Seoul walks, and not reading the reviews.

So many bunnies in the dark, creepy, and uncanny! 🥀🐇🖤 I’m thinking Bunnicula, Donnie Darko, Monty Python, Lynch’s Rabbits, Peele’s Us, that scene in Fatal Attraction, and these book covers here…

Scissor-like ears, unblinking eyes. Killer instincts from the bottom of the food chain.

The bad news: Legacy media outlets in America are bowing to fascism. The good news: You have another reason to break free of the remakes, reboots and nostalgia porn they sell you. Support indie creators.

Happy rebirth day to the trilogy of my heart. 😍 I stopped into @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social to sign stacks of the new paperbacks of the Green Bone Saga today. If you move fast, can still order signed copies online or if you’re local to the Boston area, stop in to the store.
