In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.

Pre-order The Engineer!

10/31/2023

Happy Halloween, everybody! I don't have a treat for you this year, but I do have a trick: I'll show up at your house tonight asking for candy. I may be disguised as another person. If you don't figure out which visitor is me, I'll steal all your houseplants.

Also, The Engineer is now available for pre-order! And on Audible too! Releases December 5th in all formats!

(We're still not allowed to do pre-orders for paperbacks, but they'll be available on the fifth of December!)

It's almost exactly the same length as The Captain, but I can't promise anything else about its interior. Maybe it's not even a novel at all, maybe it's just my diary behind a super-sweet cover, you don't know.

I didn't exactly plan to release this on Halloween, but I do love Halloween. The aesthetic is just so cool. Maybe one day, I'll release a Halloween-themed fantasy novel. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking it could be about a skeletal king of Halloween traveling to the North Pole to try to take over Santa's duties.

Truly, inspiration is a mystery. Just like what I'm going to do with all your houseplants.

If you come to steal my (non-existent) houseplants, they definitely would thank you. I can’t keep them alive (hence why they’re non-existent). 😂

I hope you have Travis 'Hugo Boss's Baldree on retainer. We can't have the man neglecting you for a productive career doing what you do.

My houseplants are still here but they are all dead. Now I have someone to blame for that. Thanks.

About Santa and the Sceletal King: Is this a hidden reverence to Hogfather by Terry Pratchett? If not you might want to check this out first.
Looking very much forward to the engineer. I Love engineers so much that I chose that profession for myself an the release date happens to be my birthday.
