#Frankenstein wasn’t a mistake. He was a prototype. In PRIMACY, nightmares didn’t die out, they got promoted. Biotech grows horrors, trademarks them, and calls it progress. The apocalypse isn’t an accident.

Sunday actually did its job and rebooted me.
Monday walked in ready to spar, and I walked in… rested?
Didn’t see that coming.

Taking a break from the writing brain today. Watching some football, dragging the holiday decorations out, and trying not to get tangled in a thousand feet of lights. Just a chill day before I dive back into the chaos.

Welp, I just sent PRIMACY in for Bram Stoker Award consideration — First Novel. 🫣
Near-future corporate horror. A biotech empire that treats classic monsters like product lines. Frankenstein, Moreau, Moriarty… all on payroll.

I’m sticking to Bsky, FB, Gavagai.com, and my blog. That’s it.
I’m done collecting platforms like expired coupons.
