October 19th, 2023 I have never been a religious person. But that’s not to say I’ve never believed in anything. When I was growing up, there was no shortage of things I thought were real but could never prove: aliens, ghosts, mutants, Bigfoot, vampires, time travel. I would spend entire days at the library (thisContinue reading “Flip: Dream a Little Dream of Me”

Theia Book Club!
October 11th, 2023 I could not have asked for a better book club. What a group of insightful, caring, vulnerable, funny, brilliant people (and a dog named Theo!). Usually when a friend or family member tells me how they feel or what they thought about a book of mine, I usually get a “I likedContinue reading “Theia Book Club!”
Flip: I Wish I Was Special
October 8th, 2023 Flip is, ultimately, about a sad, lonely boy. Liam is the opposite of my ego. He’s also the lyrics of a Radiohead song: kind of a creep, and kind of a weirdo. I’ve never had to personally differentiate myself from a character so much; I think it’s because Flip (and its sequels)Continue reading “Flip: I Wish I Was Special”
SKP 2023: Flip
October 1st, 2023 I’ve always had vivid dreams. For a long time, I had an idea for a story that wouldn’t let me go. It was about somebody who felt alone in real life and more real in their dreams, and somebody else who killed people in those same dreams. I couldn’t get the sequelContinue reading “SKP 2023: Flip”
Theia: Heroes
September 22nd, 2023 There are certain parameters that people find themselves more comfortable sharing within, and I fit into many of those boxes. As a bartender, people are surprisingly open with me; as a person who is public about their sobriety and struggles with addiction, people are surprisingly open with me; as a writer, ohContinue reading “Theia: Heroes”
Theia: Stuck In The Middle With You
September 16th, 2023 I get asked a lot if I have any secrets for how to finish writing a book. My secret has been shared so many times that it’s gossip at this point: I have to know how it ends. If you had to run a marathon, but no one told you where theContinue reading “Theia: Stuck In The Middle With You”
Theia: Bittersweet Symphony
September 10th, 2023 I cried a lot for Theia. Like, an obnoxious amount. I always tell people that if you want someone to feel something in your art, you should feel that way while you’re making it. And I do. Arguably, too much. Look, if you don’t want to feel sad today, I recommend maybeContinue reading “Theia: Bittersweet Symphony”
WHAT A TRIP, SEE YOU THIS Fall Tour 2023

SAT, SEPTEMBER 23rd – MINNESOTA COMIC EXCHANGE SHOW @ VALLEY CREEK MALL in WOODBURY! 🍂 First up: The Comic ShowsContinue reading “WHAT A TRIP, SEE YOU THIS Fall Tour 2023”
Theia: Tainted Love
September 5th, 2023 Have you ever wanted to run away? Since I can remember, my natural instinct in any situation is to get away from it as fast and as far as I can. This is still true. Over the years, I’ve had to train myself how to stay. And this is where the storyContinue reading “Theia: Tainted Love”
SKP 2023: Theia
September 1st, 2023 “She was a dog with an imagination, which made her the most dangerous kind of all.” How did a novella I wrote in less than a week while unemployed over the summer during the worst year of my life (just days before it became the worst year of my life) become oneContinue reading “SKP 2023: Theia”
