Indie writer. Defying establishment blob. Out-of-sync. Renegade failure. Next novel: THE NEVER NOT YES, a dystopia
I got attacked by a baseball sized spider in my dream last night so it wasn’t Shelob but it was still pretty fucking awful
Almost at 45k words on the dystopia. Halfway point! Woo hoo. I just hope ChaosGPT doesn’t mature out of its 9th grade Bill Gates angst before I publish. 🤘
Going to see Phish in LA this Sunday for my birthday 🤙✌️

How in the Sam F do you change the banner pic? I’ll figure it out.
Wondering if a novel with controversial issue at its core (a vigilante thriller) could be turned into an NFT? Seems like it could generate multiple revenue streams that could be reintegrated into the NFT: book sales, the film or series version, a video game, graphic novel, merchandise. 🤔 Anyone have a view on this? Trading content and culture rather than merely the trends around an abstraction the value for which rises and falls rather whimsically? Content would retain its value more being more inherent to production. I write fiction so I’m learning and asking questions.
Titles to my novels: The Faith of the Ugly (unpublished) Good Man, Good Woman (published) No Winter Lasts Forever (published) Until Morning Comes (published) Pale Song (unfinished) Alpha Lake (unfinished) The Never Not Yes (in production) If interested in any of the above published titles, please click the Amazon link to my sales page. I am an artist in a dying field, admittedly, but my contention is people don’t read anymore because there’s nothing contemporaneous that’s good enough to be read. I’m consistently told in person and in reviews that my books, if they engaged, are page-turners. I’ve been explicitly told by the publishing sector that “white men shouldn’t bother”. We all know this is the deal, but it makes finding readers difficult, and I must continually present myself on platforms though I recognize its likely futility. If you used to love reading and like well-constructed, well-paced stories that take on some of the serious issues in our culture, the kinds of issues mainstream storytellers either fear or are shooed away from, then you might click that link in the bio—Thanks! 🤙
