Graveside Press just released their dark poetry and illustrations anthology, Gathered Here Today: An Open Casket of Art and Poetry and I'm proud to say I'm one of the 100 poems included! It's currently only available on Kindle but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the paper copy when it comes out and seeing what everyone else contributed.

I'm now at 216 lines and in the home stretch of my next big spooky poem. I've kicked the idea around for about a year, made a little painting from it on Halloween that helped push me to actually start writing it, and have been piecing it together a little at a time ever since. I hope I can find a home for it!

I had 2 poems that made their public debut in October, one for free and one in a great anthology of horror short stories!
First was the publishing of my gothic poem "The Bouquet" in the book Soul: A Paranormal Anthology by Graveside Press! I've been reading the other stories in it all week and I'm really happy to be in the company of such wonderful authors.
Then, on Halloween, the online magazine "Tales From the Moonlit Path" included my creepy poem, "Dinner Date" in their Halloween issue! You can read it for free here, at their site:

I am super excited that my poem, 'Apocolypse Tail" is included in the anthology "Rattus Futura: An Anthology of Future Rodents" by Manawaker Books, coming out this Monday May, 6th!

This is a short story (and in my case, poetry) collection of stories of the future, all involving a rodent in some way. I had a lot of fun writing my entry for it and I'm really overjoyed they picked mine for inclusion in the anthology. You can get it on their website or on Amazon, starting May 6th or it appears to be available for pre-order too.

If you've enjoyed any of my video poems, such as "The Old Tree," then be sure and go check out my Instagram page! I do lots of visual accompaniment to my poetry there and the occasional short video poem as well, that doesn't get posted here.

My poem, "Medicinal Purposes," from my 2022 poetry collection, was just posted by the drinking themed online magazine, DearBooze.com!

You can read the poem on their site here:

I forgot to mention it here but my poem "The Sound of Winter" appeared in the winter issue of Syncopation Literary Journal. You can read it here if so inclined:

In addition to writing I also do narration for audio books. My most recent work was for the terrifying short story collection book
The Abyss Beyond the Reflection
by Micah Castle
that just released on Audible. Definitely some challenging fears to bring to life in audio, I think I'm still having a few nightmares! Definitely go check it out if you're a fan of horror or gruesome tales of the weird!

My poem "Fear as Dark as Coal" will appear in the upcoming horror anthology Horror Library 8, by editor/author Eric J. Guignard!
