Yoooooo!

You got original works somewhere we could read? :O

Nah, I'm what the girlies call a "failed novelist."

I was very nearly a published short story writer (horror). Then the small publisher working on that collection folded, the rights to that story floated around for a while, and I got so demotivated about the whole situation that I never tried short story pub again. This all happened like a decade ago and I'm still not over it lol.

#hey you can ask me things!#I have three finished (unpublished!) novels - two of which are just Bad™ and one that I think doesn't fit the current market #the current pub industry is generally moving away from grimdark-adjacent work (which is what the decent one is)#and I have neither the independent wealth nor the desire to market myself that self pub requires
