Here's the thing. I can't tell you what to do, I'm not your dad.

But I would HIGHLY SUGGEST picking this book up. It is a heady mix of heart and horror that you have to experience to understand.

In the absolute best way possible, you're not ready for this one, folks.
We have a release date!
My Midwestern gothic short story collection, We Don't Hear Crickets Anymore, is coming out on November 14th

Check it out if you love psychological horror, campfire stories, and eerie tales that feel like a local small-town legend 🖤

Mariposa is settling in so well!
I've been asking around and got more information about her origins! According to the people down the street who have been feeding her, she's been garage-hopping since she was a lanky teenager kitten. I estimate her at ~10 months old 🦋🖤

The only problem with having a creative career is looking for new artistic outlets that don't feel like work. Anyway, that's why I'm gonna get back into building puppets.

I had my first author event today at Big Rock Coffee in Chesaning, MI! I did a half-hour reading, a Q&A, and a book signing afterwards 🖤 It was a big deal for me, as a person who is very shy and private, but it was actually a lot of fun lol
