Book Birth
Happy book birth to my latest word monster, I Will Kill You. May it spawn many nightmares.
Bite-Sized Blurb
Corporate America: a psychopath’s wet dream. It’s Alex Osman’s playground. After losing his wife, he drowns in crime to support his motherless kids. A new job offers freedom, but freedom demands sacrifice. Crime doesn’t commit itself.

Recent Reads
For some reason, the chaos gods have rained their disruptive confetti down on me this month, so I have no new reads to report. (Curse the chaos!) However, there are always fantastic reads available in the directory at QueerIndie.com.

Aggressive Love
In the wild words of I Will Kill You’s Alex Osman, “The older I get, the fewer fucks I give. Hoard those fucks. Don’t let anyone take them away. You can do it. Chokeslam distrust. Punch doubt in the teeth. Hit insecurity in the throat. Elbow uncertainty in the gut. Slaughter negative voices. Bodycheck impostor syndrome. Roundhouse-kick reservation. Slap hesitation in the face with a wet fish wrapped in an oily turd. Burn self-hatred in a bonfire, and toast marshmallows in the dying embers of its oozing carcass. Conquer each workday. Autopsy your soul. Bare your truth, and smash a motherfucking gong.”
So let’s go buy some motherfucking gongs and celebrate this crazy joyride through the cosmos together.
Lots of love & chaos,
