As the only English man amongst Americans here, I'm grateful that we got to watch the match. But dammit, I am heartbroken. Well done, Argentina. I'm gonna go cry in the office.

It's too hot to work on manuscript revision but not enough to procrastinate. Go figure.

Happy pride month everyone. Here's a WIP dump from my amazing illustrator. Whose got more books about queer protagonists whose story doesn't revolve entirely around their identity? I need more of that in my life. #QueerLit

My DnD character died last night in an epic blaze of glory, and I'm still upset about it. I know it's silly and make believe, but dammit, I'm grieving.

Not to give this anymore air than it deserves, but the cognitive dissonance is fascinating to see because the last time the right tried to make R rated movies, they landed on a crass action movie about a school shooting. And they wonder why no one likes their shit.

The world ended months ago, but for Mel, her apocalypse happened inside. Alone and grieving, she manifests a world where the ghosts are as real as the silence. This Isn't How I Died is a story of somatic grief, fractured reality, and what happens when you choose madness over being truly alone.

I mean, she's not wrong.

"You guys are just leaving your son with me so you can go day drinking!" - My SIL (who did agree to this in advance, by the way). "Nah uh! It's called a 'tasting' and it's fancy adult stuff!" Me, indignantly.

I went into the new Mandalorian movie with high expectations cause I'm a huge star wars fan. As I felt myself feeling a bit "meh" about the whole thing, I turned to my son sitting next to me to see him having the time of his life, so I switched my brain off and enjoyed it. It was great.

The dead have risen, but for Mel, her world ended months ago. What do you do when fantasy is your only comfort? My debut novel, This Isn't How I Died, explores a world where the ghosts are loud, the grief is heavy, and the zombies are just nature. ​ #WritingCommunity #Horror #ssf #QueerLit

I just wanted to share some of the work in progress from my illustrator. She's doing an amazing job bringing Mel to life from my silly original concept.

So, it's probably as good a time as any to introduce my debut novel. "This isn't how I died" (still maybe on the title). Set in the early 90's, Mel is travelling the US after the death of her partner when a sudden roadblock leaves her stuck in the epicenter of an apocalypse...
