Unfinished Work
It is weird how productive you can get in when you are in the right mood. The books that I have published so far were all written quite quickly. I don't think any of them took longer than about three weeks to write (okay, for two of them Rob did half, but still).
They flowed out in a stream of consciousness type way. Not much has changed, but it means that I'm often writing in fits and starts. As a result, I now have a whole host of unfinished drafts of things I found interesting for a few weeks, hit a snag and then moved onto another project.
I have several of these orphans kicking around. One project we are trying to power through is our first romance parody. It is about 350 pages of unedited craziness. At least that one is mostly drafted out. Others, like my Jaws parody, only got to a couple of pages.
So for 2026, I hope to be able to finish a few of these projects, like the Zombie book that I wrote half of before abandoning to write 90 percent of a kid's book. I also have a Christmas horror collection of short stories--which right now is super short--just 5 stories. I also want to finish Get Stuffed 2: unbuttoned, which is mostly written, but needs a big edit.
And then there is the MMA love story I'm trying to finish up too. We shall see which or any makes it out this year.
Stay tuned for updates

Humble beginnings
My first book was never part of a grand plan. There was no lifelong dream, no carefully plotted author origin story. It began, as many questionable life decisions do, in a bar in Toronto.

I stumbled into a reading by Lola Faust for Triceratops and Bottoms and laughed so hard I nearly lost control of my bladder. What followed was a classic deep dive.
Before long, I was planning a full-blown dino erotica–themed movie night. Commitment matters and I should be committed!
So, in a moment of “this seems reasonable,” I decided to write my own piece of dino erotica for my friends. Just as a joke. A parting gift at the end of movie night. Boy was I wrong!
That ridiculous little book introduced me to an author community. It led me to my good friend and writing partner, Rob Bon. Most importantly, it gave me the confidence to try again.
