Canadian indie author writing horror, fantasy, sci-fi and political satire.
So I got rid of Threads but still haven’t really settled in at Bluesky. Not getting the same level of interaction. But then again, I’ve been much calmer and happier since I got rid of Threads. Maybe I’m better off with nothing?

I still only have Facebook for the ads. Nothing else sells my books.

Unpopular opinion: I actually like Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime.

So weird that the band that gave us “We Built This City” exists from a straight line from the band that gave us “White Rabbit”.

You know you’re in Canada when your sports network is counting down the top 50 curling shots.

My sales this year are about half what they were last year. I’m about $100 more this year than my all-time best month (October 2021). For a five month run in 2021 I earned over $2,000 a month from my books.

I use Facebook ads. Back then, it was easy to get ROI. Not anymore. Thanks, Zuck.

Cosmic horror fans: are you more a Dunwich Horror type fan or a Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath kind of fan? I ask because most of my stories are more like the first but my current WIP is more like the latter.

My first series I wrote was political satire about the state of American politics. I started the series in 2018.

Reality has overturned the message of my story. I’ve completed 3 of 6 books, but I’m struggling to continue my funny tale in the face of terrible reality.
