A quick intro for the influx!
Multi-genre writer here (horror, sci-fi, humor). I enjoy the macabre as much as the inane. I admittedly don't post a whole lot about writing, but I love supporting other creatives and share new work when I have it. Largely unserious, prone to horsing around. Say hi! 👋😊

Okay, I have done something profoundly silly and I love it. I have put together a book about...
sandwiches.
Or, more specifically, all the ways I like to CUT my sandwiches. Looking for something unserious and benign this holiday season? This may be just the thing!

New Release: The Sandwich Cuts Books
Looking for something a little something different? You might enjoy my latest release from Mannison Press! One of our favorite things to do as a family is finding little ways to entertain each other. Strange ways. Eccentric. We make up words. I buy weird napkins. We make mundane things fun. Mundane things like sandwiches. This deliciously unserious book explores the exceedingly simple yet creative way I liven up the lunch plate and my daughter's lunchbox.

It’s so annoying that Amazon continues to allow returns on ebook purchases 😕 Readers: do NOT do this. It hurts authors and makes US reimburse you from our royalties.
Amazon isn’t a library. If you want to return a book after reading, help indies out by recommending their books at your libraries.

I have exactly 2 types of sneezes:
A. “KHAHH!!!” – deeply alarming; startles you and all your ancestors
B. “shoee-shoee-shoee-shoee-shoee” – stifles the explosion but distracts you anyway with its comical execution

I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.

Almost All Languages Appear To Follow Zipf's Law, And We Have No Idea Why
Even the languages we haven't deciphered yet, such as the one in the Voynich Manuscript, appear to follow this rule.

Every year on Black Friday, my hubby and I fondly remember the year we forgot what day it was and accidentally went shopping.
Good times.

Hubby and I play a game when watching tv. It’s called There’s Nothing In That Cup.
My superpower is I can tell whenever the coffee cups in a tv show are empty. Law & Order hasn’t seen a wet cup in 30 years.

Instead of a traditional tree topper this year, we are using this Grinch Santa hat instead. He is monching the tree.
