Hopecore author. SLATTERY FALLS TRILOGY🏚️ BUZZARD’S EDGE SAGA🤠 THE DENIZENS 🧟♂️ ILLUSIONS OF ISOLATION 👻. He/Him.
SONG DOGS is out December 2nd, and if I had to choose one theme that runs through all the Buzzard’s Edge books, it’s found family.
With that in mind, dedicating this book to @candacenola.bsky.social was long overdue.

Newest issue of Postcards From the Falls is a week late, but alive (it’s alive!) nonetheless. This one contains some recommendations, some candid talk on deadlines, and my writing plans for the next few months.
