Have five minutes? Do you like stories? Do you like FREE stories?

Read my short story "The Icewolf" at my website, which follows a pack of wolves hunting their prey in the frozen wilderness.

In what may be my most controversial take ever, I think Golden Grahams is the best cereal out there. Yes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is good, but I think it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with this titan.

I believe the primary reason to have a house like this is so you can decorate it extra spooky on Halloween

I've annotated a chart showing the userbase of social media sites.

Taking a principled stand against the worst of these isn't the best as someone trying to get the word out about your art. At this point I think I'm going to try my luck with AOL chat rooms, or perhaps FARK.

I once heard that most men only receive flowers once in their life- at their funeral.

Fortunately, I have an amazing partner who thinks about me when I've got a lot on my plate. I'm so grateful for @mandykrogh7.bsky.social. The flowers she got me are beautiful.

Don't let your answer be "I only read books from the airport store."

Instead, read my novel about family, loss and vengeance to earn the love and respect of your children.

Sorry, America. Military occupation of our own cities, inflicting needless economic harm to enrich the wealthy, lionizing racists, demonizing innocent people, and... Blaming autism on Tylenol? What even is that?

Is it logically inconsistent to say everyone should love each other, but also kill all the fascists? Maybe, but I'm doing it.

And if that statement upsets you, I got some bad news for you.

This one is a well-loved book that I've read many times. I've enjoyed so many books and authors, including the classics, but McCarthy was the first to blow my mind with his themes and prose. As a writer, I only hope to one day reach that level of storytelling.

A book and an ebook, next to the words, "Robert's father is lost in the war, and it leaves the teen bereft. Then comes an unexpected opportunity to find his father or at the very least, find justice. But if he leaves, what will Robert do about his grieving mother? And is the war too big for anyone, let alone a teenager caught up in dreams of revenge?"

I've been asked a couple times if my book is a graphic novel. It isn't. The cover is based on a WW1 propaganda poster, and on my book it's shown burning away as an allegory that reality is often not what we expect.
