The name might … Continue reading Angry Sloth Gaming: Pressing Record (and Hoping for the Best)

The fear doesn’t … Continue reading When the Monster Is the Most Honest Character
I’ve just finished the first draft of my current work-in-progress, a biography-horror hybrid that’s consumed more of my thoughts than I’d like to admit and is sure to consume more.
