Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
As you all know, or maybe you don't, I've been writing a decent amount (for me) of short fiction lately. I think this is mostly me trying to explore a medium that doesn't require a months-long commitment to a single world but still allows me to explore imagery and concepts that catch my fancy. I've...

Last weekend the S.O. and I sat down to watch The Dark Crystal at his insistence, likely in response to Netflix's recent announcement of a prequel series. This movie obviously has a special place in many hearts and mine is one of them - I watched this movie around the same time I was also... Continue Reading →
I read a bunch of books over vacation, and I thought I would go through and give a brief review of each! Before I left, I put a story up on Instagram with my four vacation reads I'd picked out and why I was excited about them. Let's see how they held up. So I... Continue Reading →
Hey folks! I meant to have this post done Friday, but I didn't so here we are. As previously mentioned here, I went on vacation for two weeks in June. I've been back at work for a little over a week now and things are finally starting to settle enough for me to find time... Continue Reading →
Happy Solstice, everyone! Last year, a dark horse of a book made it on my Best of 2018 list. Glory's Teeth was a wonderful, odd bit of urban fantasy in the vein I like most: strange gods with feelings and existential crises of their own. I found it because a random tweet from the author...

About a year and a half ago, I was chatting with a friend. This person had been mostly supportive of my writing in the past. During the conversation, however, he dismissively referred to writing as my hobby. Flash forward to January of 2019, when I realized that he might have been, at least in some... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year! June means we check in on the resolutions and see where our progress is. This year I've got some fun things to report! Rejections Stories If you've been following me on my Instagram, you can see that I've reached 12 rejections out of our goal of 50 (or one acceptance)!... Continue Reading →
I've been reading a lot of romances lately, and I know those aren't everyone's cup of tea. Graphic sex is often a feature, and those hot and steamy scenes might be a fun time for me but they aren't for everybody. That said, I think there are some things that they do well, and some...

I've been a little behind with things recently as I was dealing with a huge dayjob deadline at the beginning of May. It meant that I couldn't work on writing for about two weeks, at all, and things got a little hectic. So I'm playing catch-up for the next couple of weeks, and then I'm... Continue Reading →
Short post this week, but a fun one! I encountered the Random City Generator a few months back, and I've really been enjoying playing with it. While I haven't been doing a great deal of mapping for my stories recently, I do use maps a lot to visualize different communities. Previous to this, I have... Continue Reading →
