Just finished Pre-approved for Haunting by @patrickbarb.bsky.social and it's an awesome collection. Definitely give it a read if you get the chance!

Hell yes! Get some indeed, but also make sure you get onto Beau's Bishop Rider books. So good!

Coming from Andy Cull, this is high praise! And yeah, this other lot are all rad af!

Wahey! Thanks for the in-depth review!

It's true! It's all true!

Hey check it out! How cool is this!

Check it out: a reading from my new novella, TROG. Meet Aisha, our protagonist, right at the moment the bad guys show up!

In the interests of giving people a teaser about my new novella, one that starts out as a home invasion story like The Strangers and that becomes a creature feature like Abominable, I've recorded a live-at-home reading. Come meet Aisha, the teen protagonist in my latest! youtu.be/HumyVqMV1Y0

TROG is now free to disrupt a home invasion near you! It's a tightly paced book about an escaped cryptid amping up the terror in the knife's-edge atmosphere of a home invasion, and the young girl fighting to survive the night. Think ABOMINABLE X BECKY. Huge thanks @eddiegenerous.bsky.social

Please forgive my continued promotional push in the lead-up to release day for this one. Early reviewers are loving this Home Invasion tale with a cryptid twist. Think Becky X Abominable! Out through Unnerving this March. Pre-order in all the usual places.

TAKING OF JAKE LIVINGSTONE X THE HAUNTED MASK When Ethan saves a cursed old man from thugs, he earns an ancient mask and is sent for revenge. BUT every retaliatory beating he inflicts is a step towards accepting the old man's curse as his own. Can he stop before it's too late? #YA #H #2025pit

Hung out with this fella while I was writing at a national park today.

Time to shout about POLYPHEMUS again. (Looks like I found an old Encyclo logo...oops...) @encyclopub.bsky.social Also...just truck me: POLYPHEMUS and enCYCLOPocalypse. Match made in heaven. Or hell. Whatever.

Not gonna lie, I'm mindful of oversharing and spamming, but this blurb from @aarondries.bsky.social (which is cut from a way longer, way cooler one) made my day when it came through. Of course, I had to bastardize it and make it fit this promotional image.

I just realized how close we are to TROG time! I need to start promoting this bad boy. Coming from Unnerving in March. If you're a reviewer and you'd like a copy for your blog, let me know. I'd also love to lock in some podcasts/interviews/readings, etc. Send me a message if you can help.

This wallaby.

If anyone knows of any publishers looking for Middle-Grade spec fic, I'd love if you could point me in their direction. I've got the first in a Goosebumps/Witching Hours esque series here, ready to go.

Want to buy one of these just so I can have cheeses on the cross.

Last few days, I've been walking a local bush trail. The lace monitors are out in force.

Got to love starting the new year by hitting the 20k point on your latest manuscript. Things in this one are starting to get gnarly.
