Begging book publishers to stop doing shit like this.

Why do you make books different sizes even though they're stylistically the same? Why swap whether author or book title comes first? Why change the cover style and size of books WITHIN THE SAME SERIES??

Ahmad's roof is only the sky. He has no tent to stay safe in. His sister must do her studies by phone light. Please, please help. He needs a new tent ASAP. The weather is getting colder.

A horror anthology I'm in, BLACK CAT TALES, has had some great reviews! Including being #1 best-seller in horror and anthologies on both IngramSpark & Barnes and Noble!

It's also on discount at Bookshop.org; why not pick up a copy?

Today, on the first day of Sukkot and the 2nd anniversary of the Oct 7th massacre, I light a candle in memory of the victims and hope for the safe return of the remaining hostages.

New York friends!! My friend Daniela Naomi Molnar is having a book launch event in Brooklyn this Thursday, 7pm, at the Center for New Jewish Culture! It's for her poetry work PROTOCOLS: AN ERASURE, which was honestly a revelation.

I keep seeing Facebook adds for this very dumb-sounding game "BallBuds". It portrays itself as being "Pokemon but for grown-ass adults" because these monsters "cuss at you". There's shooting & gore and it just has the same energy as those "SOAP: BUT FOR MEN" products.

Ahmad is in a really hard place right now. He had to spend his tent money on food. Now he has no money for food or a tent. He desperately needs $500 USD for a tent and tent bathroom. Please, please help.

Great to finally have my hands on a copy of this, with my poem "Judge" smack bang in the middle! Black Cat Publishing did a great job on the printing. The stories and poems are so fun, go grab a copy!
