-30- is a scifi “anti-coming of age” story of grief and trying to find love in an uncertain world. There’s a chance Greg will disappear at midnight, so he’s hired Joe to spend the day with him. 💙📚🏳️🌈

A poem I wrote when I first started to quit smoking a year ago and couldn’t figure out why it was such an emotional struggle on top of physical. 20 years without my dad and cigarettes were a big contributor to losing him, so it was time for me to quit. Thank you for reading ❤️🐜

Listen, I can hold like a max of five words at a time 😭
lol too true. I’m 35 this year so I’ll be there shortly! 🤣
Yes!! I wrote it when I was turning 30 because it felt like this enormous thing. Who I was, what I wanted out of life, like I was already “too old” to do anything.
I first explored this world in another book, -30-. They can be read independently but if Imago sounds good you’d like it too!

A collection of sci-fi stories that take place in a near future where people have a chance of disappearing on their 30th birthdays. This fact flavors everyday life, especially for Under-30s. Ephemeras are people who fill the need for companionship people struggle to find otherwise.

The wolf in sheep’s clothing! I took it in a certain tongue in cheek direction in Do I Terrify? in a story called Blood of the Lamb.
The MC is a farmer who keeps finding coyotes (or what’s left of them) laying around his sheep pasture. What could be doing it I wonder? 🤔

A little blurb carousel for Imago, the main novella of Imago and More Ephemera Stories!
If you were a Typhoid Mary-esque carrier in indefinite quarantine, would you seek companionship in a life-like android? What if you knew it was being controlled by a living person? Could you fall in love?
Centipedes are highly misunderstood creatures, so I’m really happy to hear multiple requests on drawing those beautiful danger noodles (leggy version)! Their “fangs” are actually a pair of modified legs, and those curly antennae are my favorite parts
