-30- is a scifi “anti-coming of age” story of grief and trying to find love in an uncertain world. There’s a chance Greg will disappear at midnight, so he’s hired Joe to spend the day with him. 💙📚🏳️‍🌈

A poem I wrote when I first started to quit smoking a year ago and couldn’t figure out why it was such an emotional struggle on top of physical. 20 years without my dad and cigarettes were a big contributor to losing him, so it was time for me to quit. Thank you for reading ❤️🐜

A collection of sci-fi stories that take place in a near future where people have a chance of disappearing on their 30th birthdays. This fact flavors everyday life, especially for Under-30s. Ephemeras are people who fill the need for companionship people struggle to find otherwise.

The wolf in sheep’s clothing! I took it in a certain tongue in cheek direction in Do I Terrify? in a story called Blood of the Lamb.

The MC is a farmer who keeps finding coyotes (or what’s left of them) laying around his sheep pasture. What could be doing it I wonder? 🤔

A little blurb carousel for Imago, the main novella of Imago and More Ephemera Stories!

If you were a Typhoid Mary-esque carrier in indefinite quarantine, would you seek companionship in a life-like android? What if you knew it was being controlled by a living person? Could you fall in love?

Writers! If your book/WIP had a soundtrack, what’s at least one song that would be on it? Is it the lyrics, the vibe, both, neither?

For Imago, the song The Pioneers by Bloc Party was a foundational text. Their music and lyrics have always struck me!

An enormous thank you to everyone who has shared, grabbed a copy and showed me love/support. I am humbled and incredibly grateful ❤️🐜

If you’d like to share, it’s a huge help and you’ll be supporting a queer creator!
