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. 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.
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!
