    Upcoming author reading of queer YA horror story

    This September I’ll be going back to my old hometown, Rolla, Missouri, where I grew up in the 90s, to read from my queer YA sci-fi horror comedy short story “Blood Frequency” and doing a Q&A. My story takes place in that town during the 90s. And the event is hosted by the local LGBTQ+ group.

    It’s sort of surreal to think about it. But a lot of good work has been done these past few years in my old hometown to be more inclusive and kind. Doing something like this there in the 90s would have been unheard of.

    In preparation for this event, I’ve created an Events page on the website with details and a link to the Facebook Event. In the future, I’ll be posting all events I do to that page.

    📚 Already up to 70+ downloads and still growing. There’s still plenty of time today for more folks to get their alien paws on a free ebook of my queer YA sci-fi horror comedy Blood Frequency. 🌈 👽

    And don’t forget to browse and find other good stories from other authors. I went through and got a handful just a bit ago. My TBR is a mountain of good intentions.

    Book cover reveal for YA horror short story “Blood Frequency” — and I’m giving it away on July 18th

    It’s time for a book cover reveal! This is the wholly original cover for my queer YA comedy horror sci-fi short story called Blood Frequency.

    Front cover.
    Back cover.

    If you previously bought the ebook, that was released last Thanksgiving, I’ll be updating it for free with the new cover. And I’ll be releasing a paperback version in the near future as well with this lovely cover.

    I’m so happy Jamie Hahn could help me bring to life this weird alien creature I wrote in the story and with an old VHS rental vibe.

    If you look closely at the fake movie credits, you may recognize a few names. This was my way of shouting out other indie artists and authors.

    And… on July 18, I’ll be participating in the Midsummer Night’s Scream event by making the Blood Frequency ebook available for free — with the new cover and all!

    My newsletter has FREE and DRM-free short stories and poetry, you keep what you read

    With the whole Sony PlayStation “no more games ownership” crap, it seems like a good time to remind people I’ve created a “library” on my newsletter where I’m building up a collection of short stories and poetry across genres. These are free and DRM-free ebooks from a diverse group of authors and poets. Meaning, you can download them and keep them forever. No license, no subscription. Just save them somewhere safe and back them up.

  • Author updates vs. mobile app devopler updates

    If authors updated readers on their book writing progress the same way mobile app developers update their users of new updates to their app:

    “4.311, 6 months ago — We’ve made grammar improvements and word fixes to give you a smoother reading experience.”
