This looks awesome! Btw, is that the same cover artist as who did the covers for Buehlmann's fantasy novels? Looks like a similar style.

I continue to be frustrated and disappointed with Bluesky's algorithm.

Not only do I get zero engagement, but I also barely ever see posts from a lot of the people I care about while my feed is clogged with strangers

Just received my contributor copy of The Joining: Scenes of Wedding Terror edited by @jacobstevenmohr.bsky.social ! This is a wonderful, star-studded anthology featuring lots of great writers whose work I admire. Get it from @crystallake.bsky.social

I started this newest novel on January 2nd, and finished it just now on February 1st. 63k words long. Dieselpunk dark fantasy/horror with trains, planes, and abominables, vaguely in the mold of In the Mountains of Madness.

This is a really awesome book—it was wonderful collaborating with @lindzmcleod.bsky.social on our oneirophage story!

Cover reveal! Here’s the early mock-up of the cover for my second collection of horror stories, Noctivagants, coming early 2027 with @lethepress.bsky.social !

The cover of the book is a vintage, slightly foxy red, with white font beside a large black and white ampersand.

I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers.
