'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!
