Thank you for your support!

Whether you’ve joined me on Patreon, purchased a mug or t-shirt from the #horrorprompt shop, or made a donation/bought me a coffee on ko-fi.com, I thank you. Your support keeps me going, it means the world to me!

Short Horror Story update

I’m anxiously awaiting the return of my new short horror story from the editor. The current ETA should have it back in my hands in about a week. From there, I’ll be applying the final touches and sharing it with my Patrons before publishing it for everyone to read.

I shared the title of this short story with my Patrons last week and will me giving you all more details about it soon. Join me on Patreon for $1/month and get early/exclusive access to all of my work.

#horrorprompt poetry & prose collections

The #horrorprompt poetry & prose collections are moving closer to publication. Hosting the writing prompt on Twitter is a labour of love. It’s an honour to provide inspiration to other writers and artists, and it’s a joy to share their work with the world. Follow me on Twitter for updates about the collections. I will be sharing these with my Patrons first, and then publishing them on my website.

The collections are nearly ready for the world, but it remains to be seen if the world is ready for them…

Mugs and shirts and masks, oh my!

If you haven’t recently, you should visit the redesigned #horrorprompt shop. Get your coffee mugs, t-shirts, and face masks today! Your purchases directly support my creative pursuits.

Huge thanks to those who bought mugs last month, and to those who’ve already purchased t-shirts in April! Your support means the world to me. Once your merch arrives, I’d love to see a picture of you with it on Twitter!

All the best, dark friends.

Thank you!

Hello, all!

It’s been another busy writing week and this week will be much the same 👹

My new short horror story has been sent away for a second round of edits. I expect to have it back in just a couple of weeks. This story will be available exclusively to my patrons at first, and will later be published publicly. Watch for the title to be announced shortly!

The #horrorprompt poetry & prose collections are nearing completion and will be ready for everyone to download very shortly. More on this soon.

Join me on Patreon today for access to exclusive content and benefits!

☕️ Buy me a Coffee today to support my creative work!

Thank you!

Tentative titles, and did someone say coffee?

I’ve got lots on the go these days, with some projects close to complete. The works closest to being published include the #horrorprompt collections, my new short horror story, and my debut novel. I will be sharing the working titles of these projects with my Patrons tomorrow morning. Join me on Patreon today for as little as $1/month and start getting access to exclusive content and benefits now!

If you’re not into monthly subscriptions, it’s still possible for you to make a one-time donation toward my creative pursuits at ko-fi.com. Everyone knows coffee and writing go hand-in-hand, right? In fact, coffee and just-about-anything sounds like a great combo to me! Coffee & chocolate, cookies, coffee-flavoured yogurt or ice cream, coffee-flavoured tea… You get the idea. Now, I’m no photographer, so I won’t bore you with an endless stream of coffee glamour shots (ok, maybe one or two here and there) but I would like you to know you can keep my writing fingers fuelled with a one-time donation at ko-fi.com. You’ll see “Buy me a coffee” links on the website now. Have a look and let me know what you think.

Who will be the first to donate a pitch-black cup of bean juice? I hope you like this new, single-shot method of supporting my creative pursuits, and I look forward to receiving my first donation.

Thanks for reading! All the best,

➰

Poetry

Poems

My free poetry is now available here: Poetry. Here’s a sample of what you’ll find:

Grief is the lattice
Stretching across
My filigree heart

Filling me with
A certain kind
of weakness

A fortune
of blue moon gems
Never heard
Forever near
