Dear Son,

Son, today I look at you and you're almost a man. Yet I can recall all the times I held your tiny hand. So precious and small and partly me. I never knew I could love so deep. Your baby blues would look back at me. Subdued by the warmth and everything you need. Now look at you towering over me almost ready to spread your wings.

I really enjoy writing about these quieter moments in the Greenland Diaries, where characters are learning to live again after a horrifying ordeal that shook the foundations of humanity.

Nigel couldn’t believe his beard had gotten this long. It was down to his chest, tangled and frizzy. It was black, but almost brown at its feathery edges. He could hear his father yelling at him to…

I've just written another short story for the Echoes anthology. This chapter is inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula featuring an epistolary format and crime noir vibe.

Ya'll. That is dedication to the fandom.

Literal. Fucking. Tears.

I have never felt so seen to hear someone talk about my work like this. I fucking love this fandom, and I just wanted someone to notice and care that I did, and this stranger on BlueSky, and I'm fucking crying. 😭 💜

Aw, man. I dunno how I managed to figure out how to emotionally numb to shitty comments while also remaining THIS sensitive to positive ones, but I'm very glad for it tonight. I could not be more grateful for it. 💙

This is the article they're quoting, btw. Just cuz why not reshare? It's a reshare moment.
