Final Thoughts On Us, and Them
April 28th, 2023 Enough talk of failure. There was some victory, too. As we end another month of retrospect and introspect, I want to talk about the triumphs from the year I released Them and Us. I made a list: 1. It only took me one book to realize I can do anything. By that,Continue reading “Final Thoughts On Us, and Them”
Us: How do I love failure? Let me count the ways
April 17th, 2023 I’ve mentioned several times that the story of my book, Us, is the story of failure; but today, I want to count the ways. Because I’m an eternal optimist, however, failure is always only half of a story. The other half is a lesson, an annoying ray of sunshine as a bookendContinue reading “Us: How do I love failure? Let me count the ways”
SKP 2023: Us
April 2nd, 2023 The story of Us is the story of failure. In April, we’ll be staring up at that shiny rock in the sky (I’m obsessed, I know) and talking about my — third book? — which is the second in a two-book series, the sequel to Them, my — first book? I wroteContinue reading “SKP 2023: Us”
Them: Heroes, Villains, Humans
March 31st, 2023 I spent most of my youth trying to shock people. I think a lot of young people, especially boys, do. When I think of those moments, that era, the many times I said or did something for the sole purpose to shock, I cringe so hard I form permanent wrinkles on myContinue reading “Them: Heroes, Villains, Humans”
SKP 2023: Them
March 1st, 2023 What would it look like if Quentin Tarantino wrote a sci-fi book about an alien invasion? My first novella, Them, might be the closest we get, and this is how I’ve sold it to everybody else over the ten years since its release. The book is an explosion of pop culture, complicatedContinue reading “SKP 2023: Them”

NerdinOut Con 2022 Day 1
October 8th, 2022 Holy cats, Rochester, you showed up today. One of the first things I saw was a young boy with his dad. He had just walked into his first convention ever and he was telling his father how amazing it all was while they were in the moment, experiencing it together. It wasContinue reading “NerdinOut Con 2022 Day 1”
