Author. Stubentiger. Somehow still 80% less creepy than Cormac McCarthy. Snobs and minors get shown the door.

Perfect time to drop my first-ever synthpop single, right? 😅
It started as a goofy synthpop parody, pure neon cheese, but turned into something way better thanks to @pashangaudio.bsky.social killer lyrics and Djixx absolutely melting the vocals.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Your monthly reminder:
Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

“How can you talk about books at a time like this?”
“Because if I don’t talk about books, I’m gonna talk about murder and I’d rather rather go on book tour than go to prison. Also, fascists hate books, especially those written by people like me. So books, motherfucker. ALL THE BOOKS.”

I for one will not miss James Bond. Amazon can go ahead and make that somehow worse.
