#writingcommunity #shortstory #horror #darkcomedy Another short story about to drop! 'Lowest Tide' is one of the weirdest tales I've written. Set in the Aral Sea wasteland, a doctor of journalism is searching for the end of the world. amazon.com/dp/B0D5CD19XR

Porn, comedy & horror are 3 canaries in the coalmine of free speech, always attacked in the same way: 'what if someone doesn't know it's just a fantasy/joke/story?' True adults who live in reality can safely fantasize, get dark humor (unlike food) & play GTA. These frauds can't.

This is a phenomenal watch, and it unfortunately mirrors a lot of what I've witnessed in the indie space. The indie publishing sphere, free from the constraints of the gatekeepers in the traditional publishing industry, promises to produce works of better quality than these…

Here's the thing about AI. If I can at some point in the next ten years drop all the Black Tide books into an AI and (with some back and forth) create a viable realistic and accurate YouTube series that works... I honestly don't care how many other 'creatives' were just put out…

Here's the full lineup to choose from. From romance to horror to lovely poetry and a little shop you can pick a few items from. These make great gifts for loved ones. Threads of Fate trilogy a.co/d/cn1dgZ2 a.co/d/cHaUpWY a.co/d/dBGSRmF…

For seven years I’ve been subjected to harassment, stalking, threats, and terror. The abuse has taken many forms: Graphic text messages about my children dying. Descriptions of my daughter’s bedroom. Dozens of calls in the early hours, including seven times on Christmas Day.…

#augustworldbuilders Day 28: The Edge reflects the desires of sapient beings - which for humans include entities that they interpret as gods or the servants of a singular god. The directives of these entities are set by human nature - which is just one nature.

Apart from the fucking video, you actual demon? Let's be honest. You do not, for a moment, believe that innocent third world barbarians are under threat from ravening 14 year old White girls. You just want to cultivate a reputation for being a cool, detached, intellectually…

To celebrate the successful funding of Star of Shalik and the journey ahead in self-publishing, I’m sharing a cast of characters this week! 💫 Set in a world of war and ancient magic, SoS follows Rowynn -who hides a rising power and dreams of a demon cloaked in stars...…

#augustworldbuilders Day 25: "A symbol of summoning with size undared by any warlock/ This branded upon the Moon's face in molten rock by the Redoubt/ Avi Devi's stolen lore blazed as red calligraph before her raging eyes" Translation: Pentagram blasted on Moon with laser.

#augustworldbuilders Day 24: Getting your soul stuck in an artifact is what nerds do: Dalmem's cannon, Gradion's helm, Werther's weapon. The next nerd uses the last guy like a tool ... and they might all be the same guy in some Sisyphean reincarnation wheel, the Eternal Dork.

#augustworldbuilders Day 22: The greatest magicians, the Four Speakers, are supposed messengers for the Unspeaking God. The human desire for absolute morality and ultimate justice has caused the Edge to manifest monsters, one per sin, possibly sent by this God.

#augustworldbuilders Day 16: Creize, being a bit nutty, is usually crafting a new instrument out of abortion tools, lobster traps, etc. The music stuns monsters - though this seems to be incidental. Creize's eardrums are callused solid, needing maximum stimulation.

#augustworldbuilders Day 14: Morality is defined by a mortal race and reflected by its spiritual manifestations from the Edge. To humans, this has some uncomfortable results: the 'demons' of cats tolerate infanticide and torture but punish breaches of 'urination code'.

#AugustWorldbuilders Day 13: For the Unspeaking God, maybe 'Monsters': the Edge manifests the wants of conscious beings, which for humans has wrought 'demons' to punish sins, thought to serve this deity. 'Monster' means 'warning'.

Twitter feels very quiet these days... ... who wants a free, signed book? Will select a random person who answers.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve taken legal action against Cornell University for racial discrimination. Represented by @A1Policy, I’ve filed an EEOC complaint after leaked internal emails revealed Cornell secretly ran a faculty search in my exact field (evolutionary biology) specifically…
