I left a mark where we stayed. Good luck to the next occupants.
Not only am I an author that's going to write stories to nourish your mind, I'm out here cooking some really fantastic treats as well. That's my language of love. Feeding those I care about the tastiest of omnomnoms.
Korean BBQ beef with steamed broccoli, sauteed carrots and peppers, on a bed of white rice. 🍽️
Not sure I posted this one yet. Egg-everything sourdough bagels with cheese and eggs. One with bacon. 🍽️
The Forgotten Princess is coming...do you want to help? I'm going to be part of #BookBazaar2026 later this year, to help cover editing and cover art costs for this novel. If you've read The Backwards Knight, you do NOT want to miss out on this. And if you haven't? Get both books!
The Backwards Knight, chock full of warnings to pay heed to. If you want to know more, you're going to have to source yourself a copy and give it a read. I promise its eldritch horrors won't drive you *too* mad. I think. It may just be your next favorite eldritch fantasy novel. #BookSky

If you're tired of the darkest timeline and want to see normal people standing up against a tyrannical overlord... and want to see breaking the cycle of trauma and apathy to do the right thing... Check out The Backwards Knight today! Available wide! Ask your library to order it! #BookSky
5 stars for Bounty, Inc. by Adam Holcombe. One of the best books I've read in some time, and I'd put it in my top 10 overall. Every page, chock full of action. Mystery. Humor. Sometimes all of the above. Highly recommended for fans of Mass Effect, Star Wars, etc. #BookSky
I have two books out (and some shorts in anthologies.) The Dark Side of Super is an interconnected collection of super-powered shorts. Part thriller, part heist, all super. The Backwards Knight is a classic fantasy adventure with eldritch horror undertones. Available pretty much everywhere!
I have two books out currently (and am always working on more!) My wife @fallenlights.net did the cover art and design for me and is freaking phenomenal. Both are widely available, too!
The Forgotten Princess is coming... Aiming to release next year, editor is going to start second round of dev edits any day. @fallenlights.net is on board to do the cover. More details to come. Keep them peepers peeled, #booksky!
Check out The Backwards Knight right meow! Lose yourself in a classic fantasy adventure with eldritch horror undertones. Join a snarky knight, a stabby princess, and a farm boy marked by magic on their adventures. I mean, what could go wrong? #BookSky #BookTok #SnarkyFiction
Just finished our first game of "No Thank You Evil," a kids-friendly TTRPG with various levels of complexity based on age. Had a blast with @fallenlights.net and our goat.
If you don't mind a self-recommendation, The Dark Side of Super is part novella/part interconnected collection of super-powered shorts. It's a quick read that's part thriller, part heist, and all super. Available on every ebook platform!
Your moment of cute for today. Also pictured: Me, having just handed off my manuscript back to my editor.
IT IS DONE. AGAIN. The Forgotten Princess development edits round 1 are done. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
If you see this, post a princess. Illustration of Princess Laela from The Backwards Knight, and soon, The Forgotten Princess, by @fallenlights.net.
