a brief introduction:
I’m an author of genre fiction, a filmmaker, & founder of a boutique creative agency. I live in the New England woods with my beautiful, brilliant wife and our 3 near-adults.
I love to make fires, films and chili, and occasionally play my guitar.

Just finished S.A.Cosby’s @blacktopkid.bsky.social ‘All Sinners Bleed’ and WOW.
Heard about the Netflix adaptation with Nicole Beharie and had to get ahead of it. Now I’ve gotta pick my next S.A.Cosby book!
It’s so rare for men and male relationships to be handled with such care and realism.

100% agreed. So much depth there.

Yeah, that’s gross. That’s not what CK did… he was an ignorant bigot speaking over people with lies and propaganda. No one should be “honoring” him.

2025 has been a crazy year with kids college stuff, shooting a new film, and my creative agency, but my wife and I find our peace in reading. I got great recs for you including

Can confirm.

I love encountering other writers whose prose I instantly feel a kinship for. Octavia Butler, @zzclaybourne.bsky.social, @tananarivedue.bsky.social, @tvayyyy.bsky.social, and @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social are just a few of those. Today I got that with @samitbasu.bsky.social’s short “Development/Hell”

He was wearing the most raggedy pair of sneakers. 🤷🏻‍♂️
