Incidents Around the House was brutal.

I can’t tell if I’m more scared because of my knowledge as a mental health professional but…sheesh!

Highly recommend!

Awesome! I must point you to the upcoming issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. My story in that includes the same main character. Unsure when it’s coming out but should be out soon. At the printers now!

Cover reveal!!!

The Hospital at the End of the World will be released on February 3, 2026. This HarperCollins sci-fi medical thriller will be my first novel!

It’s a near-future exploration of AI’s impact on medicine and my own return to the joys, fears, triumphs, and horrors of becoming a doctor.

I was listening to @writingexcuses.bsky.social back in 2009.

A staple in my early writing journey, I particularly appreciated @maryrobinette.bsky.social’s perspective as a puppeteer.

15 years later, I’ve long run out of excuses and will be discussing my own writing process on MRK’s Patreon.

My 9 year old son just started Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

If you know me, you know this is a big deal.

*queue theme music* Reading…it finds a way.

Los Angeles Folks!

Went to see Nightingale, a one man stage play, with my wife last night and highly recommend! Lance Williams did an amazing job and I got to hold the shovel! Curious to what that means? Go and check it out! Shows through the 17th.
