So @griffinmcelroy.bsky.social read Free Piano (Not Haunted) and said nice things about it and honestly I’m still recovering 💖🎹👻

It means so much to have a blurb from someone whose work I admire so much. And yes, the title might be a little misleading… but only in the fun way.

Preorders might seem small, but for authors like me, they mean everything.

They will help Free Piano (Not Haunted) reach more readers, booksellers, and libraries.

Thank you so much for supporting this haunted little book and the very human person behind it 👻🎹

Father’s Day is tough. My dad’s always put his quest for fame above everything else.

I put all those dad feels into Free Piano (Not Haunted)

It's the closest thing to a memoir I've ever written.

About feeling left out of the spotlight, who to prove your worth to, and a ghost mentor from the 80s.

Did you see the wonderful review Free Piano (Not Haunted) got in Publishers Weekly? Doesn't it sound like a better summer read than something AI came up with?

just got a rad review from Publishers Weekly! 🎹👻

They called it “an emphatically rock-’n’-roll graphic novel” and I’m over the moon. Preorders are open now!

Before Free Piano (Not Haunted) was a book, it looked like this. Stick figures, scribbles, and a sea of yellow flags marking my editor’s notes. A tiny roadmap for a whole lot of work.

The Kirkus review for Free Piano (Not Haunted) is here and it's a good one!!

Free Piano is the closest thing to a memoir I've ever written, so I'm glad they recognized the emotional depth in a story with very silly antics.

Pre-order your own copy from your local indie today! 🎹👻 bit.ly/FPpreorder

✨Meet Margot!✨

The main character from my latest graphic novel, Free Piano (Not Haunted)!

Margot is sweet, determined, and maybe just a little too eager for the spotlight. Fame isn’t everything (but try telling her that).

Pre-order it from your favorite indie bookstore today!
