Rough draft of a new short story, THE HEAD SHE CARRIED, finished… and, a little woodcut-inspired illustration to go with it! I wrote the weird western flash piece for a contest open call... So wish me luck. 🙏🙌 #weirdwestern #weirdwest #horrorwriters #linocutart #woodcutprint #horror #horrorwriters

The Agatha Christie Estate and #BBCMaestro have just resurrected the late writer with deepfake/AI for a new course, and I have mixed feelings. I'm going to take the course (because I already have a membership) & report back. Follow along if you're interested #writers #blueskywriters #agathachristie

#Sinners is so much more than a #vampiremovie or just a #horror movie—remove the genre elements, and you’d still have a wonderfully emotional film with characters I’d have followed for another 2 hours. Honestly, the horror elements—though good—were the least interesting thing about the flick!

I'm revisiting the #LotR trilogy for
the first time since high school (nearly 20 years ago🤮), and I'm listening to the recent #audiobook production with Andy Serkis reading, and they are PHENOMENAL. Not only does he perform Smeagol/Gollum, but the entire cast, and he does a fantastic job. #booksky

One of my first short stories to be published, “Momma’s Boy,” is set in my hometown of Hermitage, MO—if you’re from there, it’s SO obvious. The story is incredibly autobiographical as well… minus all the burning alive. 👀🫣

Does anyone know of any outlets/publications looking for a 1500-word, deeply personal piece of #Creative-nonfiction written in response to the disturbing #CormacMcCarthy news?
If I can’t find a home for it, I’ll probably publish it on my #Substack or #Medium. But I needed to write it.
