How do you become great? I know one thing for sure: You don’t become great by doing nothing. By doing the same things over and over again, in a kind of blunted, cow-eyed repetition. By returning to the hole of pain and misery, and woe-is-me, looking sad-eyed into the womb of the universe, expecting it […]
A quick blog update -I recently did a podcast with Bizzong! about Girl Like A Bomb. Pre-orders for Girl Like A Bomb were dropped by Amazon temporarily (They are not accepting preorders longer than 6 months) but still available on the CLASH website. As a bonus, they’ll also be signed.
You can now pre-order Girl Like a Bomb from the CLASH website, Amazon, Indiebound, and Barnes & Noble. If you were planning on buying this , I’d recommend pre-ordering for purely selfish reasons. But really, I’m just happy if you get it. ARC copies are also available for reviewers. You can either email me at [email protected], or email CLASH at [email protected] […]

It’s the secret ingredient that is usually comprised of bitterness and self-loathing. We push ourselves by decrying our flesh as weak and our brains as stupid. We bully ourselves to force our bodies into a […]
I was born out of a howl. I came from an angry valley. I’ve read that it’s impossible to retain memories from before the age of 2, but my first memory is of a darkness without stars. My mother was a keyboard and my father was a German Shepherd. Or maybe it’s my mother was […]

An existential labyrinth of love, sex, and self-actualization where the only way out is through. When high schooler Beverly Sykes finally has sex, her whole life changes.

Someone put up a picture on Instagram of a quote from one of my stories in Ecstatic Inferno. And my primal brain knew that it was my writing, but in a way I couldn’t accept it, because the words that I had written were so far from my current state. It was as if I […]
