Rush Hour is the Greatest Movie We Will Never Get Again

Rush Hour is the Greatest Movie We Will Never Get Again

I can’t even begin to express how much I love the Rush Hour trilogy. And when I say that, I don’t just mean the first film—I mean all three. Unabashedly, unapologetically, I love Rush Hour.

"Safe" in Editing, What Comes Next?, Entertainment Blogs

 Safe Is in the Editing Phase

My domestic drama/horror novel "Safe" is officially done and entering the editing phase!

Provided my per-chapter-editing was good enough, this means that Safe is on schedule to be complete by the end of the year.

As always plans changed about 75% of the way through the story when the characters decided they were going to be the ones who decided how the rest of the novel played out, but I couldn't be happier with how it has.

Andrew and Wrenley are without a doubt the characters I always envisioned them being and in an entertainment landscape where positive father/child relationships are either few and far between, or entirely non-existent altogether, I am happy to say that Safe is a welcome reprieve from that.

It is wholesome, loving, scary, bloody, and sweet, and tells a great story about what it means to protect someone and what it means to be not only a parent, but a child.

I think people from all walks of life will enjoy this story, and everyone will almost immediately fall in love with little Wrenley.

Can't wait to get it out to you guys.

So, What Comes Next?

With Safe complete, I was tasked with choosing which of my dozens of stories was going to be worked on next. And in one of my recent blog posts I stated that I would be working on a unique take on the slasher genre called Babyface.

But after some consideration, and a wealth of unfortunate events that made it clear that the world could use a little less horror at the moment and a little more romance and fantasy, I have instead decided to take on one of my grandest ideas, perhaps ever.

The Ascent of Mortal Heart, is my attempt at diving into the heart of what it means to write a Greek mythological epic. With heroes, romance, gods, monsters, and adventure, spanning a true monolith of a book that will be my greatest undertaking to date.

I am excited to dive into the story of Palinor the Devoted, and his journey to earn Athena's favor. I have already started the planning and research for the novel, and can't wait to combine the content and spirit of the historical and mythological Greek epics with my personal writing style.

Really looking forward to this.

Entertainment Blogs Coming Soon!

Inspired by my friend David, I have decided that starting this week I will be trying to write at least one blog a week focused on movies, tv shows, novels, video games, etc, that have inspired me or that I am at the very least interested in covering.

Expect top 10 lists, discussions on who's, what's, and why's, and indepth deep dives into what makes some movies, tv shows, books, or games, as special (or as terrible) as they are.

I hope that by writing these I not only entertain but also bring out the answers to some of my own questions that I have yet to ask myself.

Also: Speaking of Entertainment make sure to stay tuned to my YouTube channel, where you can get my Marrow Plays videos where I am currently playing through all of my favorite horror games starting with The Killing Antidote! I also plan to play Silent Hill f when it comes out as well!

'Safe' By the End of the Year? 'The Morgue' in October, 'Marrow Plays' is a Thing Now!

Safe By the End of the Year

At the pace I’m moving now, it looks like Safe will be finished and ready to release toward the end of the year—that’s the goal I’m aiming for.

I just broke past what I call the “speedbump” section, and everything has finally clicked into place. The story, the characters, the pacing—it’s all flowing exactly how I envisioned it.

By the time readers get their hands on it, I’m confident they’ll fall in love with little Wrenley. The book unfolds through three tellings of the same story, each layered together so that with every chapter, the world and its people reveal themselves in deeper, more surprising ways.

Stylistically, Safe moves differently than the sweeping, literary-epic rhythm I used in Wicker Hill and The Morgue. But what it shares with those books is its devotion to character—the raw drama between them, the tenderness and fractures of their bonds, and the way trauma presses in from the world outside.

I’m incredibly proud of this one. Safe is something rare: a family domestic drama set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. And it isn’t just another apocalypse story—it’s intimate, character-driven, and it does something I believe is truly special.

The Morgue in October

The Morgue, the second novel in the Wicker Anthology—and the direct sequel to Wicker Hill—arrives this October, just in time for Halloween.

With both Wicker Hill and The Morgue in your hands, you’ll hold the first half of a four-part descent into a reality-bending, character-driven psychological horror saga. By the time the anthology is complete, it will be a story not only of terror, pain, and fear—but ultimately of love.

If Wicker Hill is horror of the mind, The Morgue is horror of the body—and it delivers in full. Faster, sharper, more unrelenting, it dives headlong into sexual horror, body horror, and the terrifying erosion of self. And while it stands on its own, it also begins to pull back the curtain on the larger mythology of the Wicker universe.

Writing The Morgue made me realize something important: this series isn’t only about horror, or transgression, or even the characters who bleed through its pages. At its heart, it’s about love—the desperate, defiant kind that fights to endure, even against darkness, evil, and everything that tries to tear it apart.

You can go ahead and pre-order the Morgue on Amazon Right here: Click me baby, ooh yeah.

Marrow Plays is a Thing Now

I work too much, I've come to realize that.

As such, I have decided I'm going to start playing some video games. Mostly horror, over on my YouTube channel here: Ooh, I like it like that

Sometimes I am very-not-good at taking breaks when I need to. This? This forces me to.

So if you're interested, come join me, I'm having fun, and I'm heavily inspired by these games, so they are not at all irrelevant to my interests. 

Come hang out!
