Down to the last 12 hours... Every backer who purchases a copy of my cemetery memoir Still Wish You Were Here will also get the updated ebook of the first volume in the series, Wish You Were Here: Adventures in Cemetery Travel. Two books for the price of one!

Do you find beauty in cemeteries? Do you like to smell the roses in graveyards? Do you visit tombs at religious sites on vacation? Are you death positive? Have I got a book for you!

What authors inspired your most recent book? I read a bunch of cemetery memoirs before I realized I was writing one. Still Wish You Were Here was inspired by @ericabuist.bsky.social @peteralanross.bsky.social Rachael Hanel, Greg Melville, and Caitlin Doughty.

My cemetery memoir funded in under 24 hours! Next up: a reader's guide for backers that will include a cemetery playlist and a bingo game for playing in your local graveyard. I've extended the Early Bird discount on paperbacks, if you'd like to grab a copy. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lor...

Because it's Pride Week. Because we're still here, have always been here. Because we're angry. Because we're survivors. Because love is love.

The Dangerous Type is space opera revenge story set in a galaxy where humans are a minority and the fight will keep you alive.

I got one of those bird feeders that send pictures of the birds. It gives me no end of joy. Birds are such dorks.

I bought new art this week! It’s more important than ever to support artists, directly if possible. I put my money where my mouth is and now this trio leads me home.

Like your romance reads with a touch of heat? The succubus Lorelei sees Azaziel in her master's dance club and vows to do anything to bring him to heel. How could she guess he would possess her with a mortal girl's soul -- and unleash the love triangle from Hell?

I’m in the last hours finally of a 24-hr blood pressure test. At least the dawn is spectacular. As was last night’s sunset. What is time, when measured in 30 minute bites between bruising torture?

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

That’s fair.

The sunset was lovely last night. This year has been so foggy that I feel like it’s been months since I saw a sunset.
