To those who hired me to edit their books in recent months, thank you for trusting me with your work. I couldn't appreciate you more. To those whose work will require edits soon, I'm booked for the rest of November. Also, I'm taking December off, as I'll be out of town for more than a week. Plus, I need to work on some writing projects. But I'll be back at it in the new year. So, if you have a project requiring edits, consider contacting me soon. My calendar fills up pretty quickly. Thanks!

To motivate myself not to take on more editing gigs for several weeks and work on my writing projects, I've made the 𝚄𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚠𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚃𝚢𝚙𝚎𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚛 & 𝙾𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚜 ebook .99 cents and paperback $9 until I've made serious progress. I have three editing jobs at the moment. Once they're complete, I will focus solely on writing for a while. I have a novella and two collaborative books I'm really excited about. Can't wait to finish them and share them with you all.

Christina Rangel Eleanor composed a nice little review of Underwater Typewriter & Other Tales at The Voracious Gnome!

My latest collection, 𝚄𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚠𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚃𝚢𝚙𝚎𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚛 & 𝙾𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚜, contains some of my favorite pieces of short fiction that I've written in recent years. The title story lived in my head for years before I even started writing it. I guess that's how I knew it was a worthwhile writing project -- the idea stuck around. I wanted to explore the concept of cursed objects, otherworldly terrors, and an older writer whose fictional character finds a way into our world to wreak havoc. "Mate, Spawn, and Die" is a tale I penned under a ridiculous pseudonym created for select Godless releases, Scabs McDumpster (who also wrote such fine works as "The Drip" and "The Ballad of Dickfingers McGee"). "Mate, Spawn, and Die" just popped into my head, and although I wrote it in one day, I was surprisingly happy with how it turned out. "Here, in the Hell We've Made" is another tale I wrote for an anthology, and it's arguably the best thing I wrote in the latter half of 2025. "Kid Hazard" resulted from an invitation to appear in Uncomfortably Dark's Trapped anthology. For that one, I wrote about a young street artist who tags a heaven spot during a hurricane evacuation, and he ends up in a tense situation involving a m**h user with a pet alligator, a shuttle full of elderly folks, and a serial killer who may not be entirely human. I wrote my novella "Red Falls" for a split release with the talented Daemon Manx in 2022. I wanted to write a different kind of vampire tale, mix in some folk horror, and include the scary political and social shifts happening in the U.S. at the time. And finally, the book's closer, "Rains for Violet," is a piece of grief horror I wrote a few years ago. When it was rejected by a publisher, I revisited the story, improved it, and decided to include it in this book. This collection is my return to the world of writing and publishing after a long break. For that reason, I've kept the price low, which I prefer to do anyway. $2.99 for ebook and $11.99 for paperback. Unfortunately, I can't make it any lower than that, but I would if I could. A heartfelt thank you to each individual who buys a copy.

My new collection, 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 & 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀, is now available in ebook and paperback. The book contains a novella, a novelette, and three short stories, ranging from literary horror and dark fiction to splatterpunk and bizarro. Some are new, others are previously published, but they're some of my favorites. I hope they become your favorites, too. Thanks!

How cool is it that Arya Hyde, a new author in the scene, elected to contribute her debut short story, "Winter Festival," to 𝗪𝗲'𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲? And what a story it is! "Winter Festival" is well-written, wonderfully paced, populated by interesting characters, and marked by the dark horrors born from Arya's imagination. Upon reading this submission, I found myself impressed with Arya's work. I hope to see much more from her in the future. Remember -- all proceeds from We'll Always Be Here sales go to the Trevor Project. Thanks for your support!

𝗪𝗲'𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 closes with L Stephenson's "True Stories," a dark, tense piece of atmospheric horror. The story keeps the reader guessing. Is it all in the protagonist's mind, brought about by reading a scary tale, or is their fear perfectly warranted? Find out by getting a copy of We'll Always Be Here: An Anthology of LGBTQ+ Horror. The book is packed with good stories, and all proceeds benefit the Trevor Project. Thanks for supporting indie horror, the lgbtq+ community, and the charity!

In Gloom House Publishing's latest LGBTQ+ charity anthology, 𝗪𝗲'𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲, readers will find a dark, horrifying, and heartbreaking tale of horror in Denver Wheeler's "Taken Away." It was a pleasure to feature this talented author's work, and I'm sure you will all enjoy this story as much as I did. All proceeds go to the Trevor Project.
