I finally have something new to plug!I've got three poems in "Eldritch Prayers", a fantastic collection of poetry based on or inspired by the Cthulhu mythos.

It's available in e-book, hardcover, and paperback formats. a.co/d/8OMZe6z

The cover for Carnage House’s year two best-of anthology goes hard.

I’m beyond stoked to have a story in here. Stay tuned for release date and more details later this month!

Had a chilly but pleasant hike along the Boucher Trail in San Simeon today.

Tons of elephant seals out and about on the beaches.

Usually I avoid Facebook comments like the plague, but I was delighted to find some real all-timers under the story about the guy who just got acquitted for thowing a sandwich at a federal agent in DC.

I visited the website for this beer one time last year to make sure I spelled it right in a short story and I’ve been getting emails from them ever since.

Do I use one of my nice, new, untouched guitar picks, or do I stick with ol’ stumpy here.

I’ve seen a lot of amazing things since I started hiking a few months ago, but the views along the Estero Bluffs Trial this weekend literally left me speechless.

IDK why I bother writing when I could be putting all my creative energy toward making a chess set out of cheese.

An online troll gets more than he bargained for when he picks a fight with a pop star and her army of fans.

Read my story Reply Guy in Alien Buddha's House of Horror Vol. 8, now available on Amazon. It's the perfect Halloween read!
