This collection will be released in September of 2024 and will not be exclusively available on Amazon. At present, I’m exploring Godless as well as considering submitting it for publication through a publisher that primarily does horror, provided I’m able to maintain the rights to my work.

Amazon is not the best place for indie horror authors or authors that write extreme horror. The audience just isn’t there unless you do a ton of self-promotion. I would rather go somewhere that horror is the expectation or have a publisher doing some of the promotional work for me.

I’m actually good at marketing, I’m just bad at maintaining a consistent online presence as a horror author. I’m mostly known online in mental health and mental illness communities, not author ones. I deleted my author Facebook page and have moved my author presence to Threads. Being chronically ill and mentally ill certainly adds to the challenge as well.

I’ll be posting more regularly here as I move toward publishing. I’ll post snippets of the poetry from the upcoming collections and offer discounts on my gothic/horror merchandise here.

I will eventually upgrade to a custom domain and site, but for now, this is what I can afford. Please subscribe!
