we spent the day packaging books. if you think it's a quick process, consider we hand-stamp envelopes, write thank-you notes on receipts, & include stickers/bookmarks. it's these personal touches that make us stand out from soul-less corporations like amazon. thank you for supporting indie horror.

Human Tenderloin is a collection of horror stories with heart. Some will goose the skin. Others will leave you bloated with terror. But each one will stay with you.

I need readers. Available on paperback, hardback and Kindle. Free on Kindle Unlimited.

I should probably mention that I co-host a podcast, Directional (directional.tv), with @newjorg.bsky.social and not only is there always a woman talking about games every episode (hi it's me) but we have a bunch of interesting interviews with cool smart women who have fascinating ideas 🔥
