I've set myself a goal of one pre-order a week until November for The Haunting of Wounded Birds, my coming-of-age folk horror steeped in ritual & tragedy.
Dark forests. Black birds. Old rituals. Haunted boys.
Some stories will not rest. 11/11/25.

Thank you kindly, Gabino. Chipping away at a novel but here's a short story I wrote way back in the halcyon days of 2021. Feels more appropriate each and every day:
