Dropping in with a little reminder that 1)Baby, It's Cod Outside comes out in one week 2) if you preorder, I'm making a pledge to donate half of my presale proceeds to Community Care, an organization that provides support and assistance around food and housing insecurity

We like to have fun here. Generally, my books are pitch black humorous and a little over the top, sometimes even tipping into farce, but each one does have a very real emotional core. 1/2

Meet the main characters of Baby It's Cod Outside. I know you’re probably not supposed to have favourites as an author, but these two 🤌 Perfect little opposites attract puzzle pieces fitting together for each other. I love them so much.

Ben's character in Baby, It's Cod Outside is extremely community minded, with a strong focus on food insecurity. Obviously, this is an issue that has been at the forefront of all of our minds lately, and I wanted to do something to support my local community non-profit. communitycarestca.ca/about/

Bluesky, can I admit my first book promo video took me waaaay too long to make?

Enjoy the mediocre results 😭🤣

Jackson's editor at the Silver Shoals Gazette is getting tired of (secretly enjoys) his star reporter's bs.

From Baby, It's Cod Outside, coming November 18. mybook.to/Babyitscodou...
“You need something? Because last I checked, that tree-lighting piece still isn’t on my desk.” “Just landed in your inbox, actually.” Jackson props a shoulder against the doorframe. “Six hundred words on the majesty of a thirty-foot Eastern White Pine shipped across state from Egremont, plus a sentimental ode to your charming little local tradition of standing around freezing your asses off while it’s lit. It's the one I’ll be remembered for.” “People around here care about that sort of thing, Jackson. And like it or not, they read what you write.” Jackson snorts. “They read it because it’s the only paper in town, Mort. Captive audience.” “Uh-huh.” Mort pinches the bridge of his nose. “You know, when I hired you, you sat right there in that chair and told me you were looking to slow down. Smaller pond, smaller fish; your words. This is what that looks like. And now you’re standing here sulking—” “Not sulking.” “Whining? Pouting? Grousing?” Mort ticks off each adjective on his fingers. “Acting like a petulant little asshole? Hang on a second, I’ll dust off my thesaurus… Whinging? Whinging is a good one. ”

Today marks the eighth year since I officially took the self-published MM author plunge with Night Moves, Hot Wire #1. Peter/Nik will always hold a special place in my heart, & so does this entire community. The generosity of the readers&other authors make this corner of the internet feel so special

Trope reveal! Baby, It's Cod Outside coming November 18 to Amazon and KU.

One anxious seafood empire heir. One nosy journalist. A very merry fish-mess.

This Christmas, the catch of the day...is love.
Trope reveal: Opposites Attract, Holiday Rom Com, Anxiety Rep, Hurt/Comfort, Small Town, oh no, he's hot and good at his job. Crisis? Cool, let me just emotionally disintegrate real quick, family pressure, work Christmas party, casual stalking/journalistic fact finding.

Happy spooky season, lovies! 🎃 The Halloween palette is a perfect excuse to draw my one true love, a ginger man.

Involving an investigative reporter to help you look into fraud at your corporation might have been a mistake 🫠

“How do you know all that?” Jackson takes an unbothered sip of coffee. “I’m a reporter. Finding things out is my entire job.” “That’s… slightly terrifying.” “You want terrifying?” Jackson says, brightening. “McKenna’s been divorced three times. His credit score starts with a four. He has a secret Pinterest board of reclaimed barnwood projects he’s never going to build.” Ben groans. “Please stop. I absolutely hate this.” “It’s a disease. I’m sorry. Totally incurable.” “Do you do this level of invasive research on everyone?” Jackson pauses just long enough to be suspicious. “You won an award at your sixth-grade school science fair for a project called ‘Greywater Recycling: How Much Can One Household Save?’” Ben makes a strangled sound, somewhere between abject horror and laughter. “I found the photo,” Jackson continues. “You did not.” “Ben,” Jackson says solemnly. “There was a tri-fold poster board with glitter glue. You wore a child-sized blazer. ” Ben drops his head into his hands. “I’m hanging up.”

Thought it might be fun to post some of my older digital artwork. This from heyday 2010 fandom tumblr era, fanart for the shortlived Avengers:Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated series. Steve is not enjoying the surprise 90th birthday party Tony has thrown for him. The chokehold this ship had on me 🤣

Bluesky! (Specifically American Bluesky, ultraspecifically Massachusetts Bluesky) do you know what I mean by "new snows" here? Or is that regionally specific Canadian slang?

From Silver Shoals book #2. This reporter character is bringing me the most joy.
#WIPSnips
He pulls up the MarineSelect contract Ben sent him and scrolls through it again, slower this time. Reading like a lawyer. Looking for the fine print. There: The company accepts full liability for waste disposal practices, as well as responsibility for any legal penalties or charges resulting from disposal by MarineSelect or its subsidiaries. The blame for this doesn’t rise. It rolls downhill. Straight to Whitaker Seafood. To Ben. The perfect fall guy. Just enough power to be blamed. Not enough to fight back. The owner’s son. Young, rich, in over his head. Exactly the kind of patsy people love to hate. And Ben has no idea. The public won’t care that he’s been trying. They won’t ask if he knew. They’ll assume he did, and if he didn’t, they’ll say he should’ve. Negligent at best. Complicit at worst. He won’t stand a chance against the media narrative. Jackson knows because he’s written that narrative before. Pushed it out under deadline. Told himself it was fair. Just another story.
