11/17/2025 Author Notes Series: EASY PICKINGS, Splatterpunk Zine 14

It's been a few weeks since I've done an Authors Note for you all. Ironically enough, I had almost forgotten about this short story that I wrote for Jack Bantry's Splatterpunk Zine Issue 14, last year. It's short, brutal, and has, in my opinion, a rather well-deserved ending. This time, I went with the idea of elderly people getting revenge on those that choose to prey on them.

11/03/2025 RECENT READS & REVIEWS: VEIL BY JONATHAN JANZ

VEIL has been all over your social media feeds, with very good reason. Jonathan Janz is one of my favorite authors and he is also just such a kind spirit. Inspiring, genuine, supportive, and someone worthy of others respect, and admiration. I just finished VEIL a couple days ago. I read it, and I also listened to the audiobook.
