April 9th, 2022 As disclaimers go, this is a weird one: representation matters. I believe that to my core. I want to make that clear before I start. So what kind of something am I starting? I guess we’ll see. When we’re kids, we are generally taught the difference between real and fake. The newsContinue reading “Fake’s Not Real”

Kicked To Death By Rabbits
April 4th, 2022 A few years ago I did an escape room on my birthday. It was designed to look like the interior of a spaceship. I looked up photos of the room online and spent weeks getting excited for it. When we arrived and my group finally got inside, the room was tiny. IContinue reading “Kicked To Death By Rabbits”

An Infinite Series of Quantum Give-Ups
March 31st, 2022 Okay, this is the post where I get all mushy, and then it’s back on the sarcasm train, full speed ahead. I give up a lot. “But,” you interject, “you’ve made so many things! A person who gives up would not have so much to show for it!” It’s a lot ofContinue reading “An Infinite Series of Quantum Give-Ups”
WE DID IT! Fire & Ice = Success!
March 26th, 2022 YAHOOOO!! Hey, kids!! WE DID IT!! Overnight — not by magic, but by your very intentional support — we surpassed our Kickstarter goal of $2,000! That means that I have the funds to publish not one, but two incredibly special books this summer: Cold World, and Brushfire. Thank you. From deep withinContinue reading “WE DID IT! Fire & Ice = Success!”
[Clone] War & [Clone] Peace
March 24th, 2022 I freaking love Star Wars. Always have. There is, to me, no such thing as bad Star Wars. I’m not of the original generation of fans (because they are old and I so clearly am not), so it always existed in a peripheral way to me until the Special Editions were releasedContinue reading “[Clone] War & [Clone] Peace”
a small word
March 23rd, 2022 Last night, I got to take part in a really special interview/conversation (hopefully I can share details soon!). The fun part of interviews is that it doesn’t matter how much you prepare; you don’t know what someone is going to ask you, and you never know what you’re going to say untilContinue reading “a small word”
STEAL THIS
March 16th, 2022 Some of my wonderful co-publishers have been asking me how they can further get the word out about the books I’m releasing this summer and the campaign I’m running to publish them. “But wait,” you might be thinking. “Co-publishers? Don’t you self-publish your work?” Well, yes. I do self-publish. But I don’tContinue reading “STEAL THIS”
Look Who I Ran Into!
March 14th, 2022 I just ran into my buddy, Bay, and he says hi! He’s wondering, too, if you have any chips. He also can’t believe we’ve already raised 54% of Fire & Ice — almost $1,100 — to tell his story. He actually got teary-eyed as I told him how excited people are toContinue reading “Look Who I Ran Into!”
i made this for your fridge
March 10th, 2022 I’m a firm believer that when I have feelings while I’m creating something that it will hold those feelings and then give them to the person who experiences the art. From my personal interactions, this seems to be true. I’ve had people reach out after reading something and say, “When I gotContinue reading “i made this for your fridge”
