Morning!

Please give a listen to my recent interview on The Dead Parents Club. We dive very deep into the background of my books, religion, death, trauma, and some really great topics.

And thank you to Timmy, who is a fantastic interviewer, for having me on again!

So this was a bit of an odd book. I think that it may have been the author's goal to write it a certain way, attempting to keep the reader a bit disoriented with everything, but the story kind of got lost in itself. I saw the plot twist coming a mile ...more

This was just a very mean spirited story with not much done well. Every aspect of it, both plot and characters, came across very haphazardly, with violence and rape being the primary focus, at the expense of everything else. For instance, Maisie had ...more

“The turtle couldn't help us.”
Stephen King, It

Frank Miller
“We live in the shadow of crime with the unspoken understanding that we are victims.. of fear, of violence, of social impotence. A man has risen to show us that the power is, ans always has been, in our hands. We are under siege. He's showing us that we can resist.”
Frank Miller, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Marv Wolfman
“You will be different. Sometimes you will feel like an outcast. But you will never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father becomes the son.”
Marv Wolfman

Charles Stross
“You win some, you lose some. And when you lose, you have to pull yourself together and go back for more. Otherwise, the other side wins by default.”
Charles Stross, The Apocalypse Codex

George R.R. Martin
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
