Signals From Pinehaven #6 | The Despair

Back to Our Feature Presentation... Hey there, Operator Reader! Sorry I was gone for a couple months, I was busy wallowing in despair. In all seriousness, the world has just felt too heavy to be creative lately, and I know this isn't a unique problem. It can be difficult to see a reason to keep writing or making art when everything outside our homes is scary and uncertain. I'm sure plenty of you are going through the same feelings right now. So, let's talk about it. How to Be Creative in The...

It's Been a Minute... Hey there, Operator Reader! I promise I didn't die. But I have a good excuse for my absence and it's: 1) I was swamped with projects, and 2) I am so very, very sleepy. But I've got way too much stuff to talk about to hold off any longer! On the docket tonight, I'm going to tell you guys about my new book release (and how to get your hands on it), the audiobook for A Lonely Broadcast 2, what I'm working on next, and some future projects I'm bouncing around in my head....

A Haze Over the Great Lakes Hey there, Operator Reader! August is here already and I can officially say that I spent a decent amount of July traveling close-to-home doing some research for my next book. Okay, yeah, playing around in the Great Lakes while humming the Kraken theme from Pirates of the Caribbean 2 isn't very academic, but it meant something to me. Joking aside, I was actually super busy. My mom, who has been in my care for ten years, was finally able to move into her own place...

A Mysterious Transmission... Hey there, Operator Reader! Something new is on the way this Fall. While we take a short break from our usual Pinehaven broadcast, a new signal is growing stronger this year. My first book of short stories, temporarily called Midwestern Gothic (working title), is scheduled for the Halloween season! And while ALB 3 is certainly the most awaited project by far, I think fans of the series will really like this one too. We got ghost trains, we got corn fields, we got...

We Meet Again... Hey there, Operator Reader! I told you I'd come back with news about signed paperbacks and I meant it. But first, happy June! I hope everyone is having a great month! Happy Pride, baybeeee! I would have liked to get this newsletter out a lot earlier, believe me. But if you're following me on any social media platforms, you may have seen that I've been doing nothing but bitching and moaning about my tonsillectomy - but I think I'm pretty justified. That shit hurts real bad and...

Signals from Pinehaven: May 2025

The First Transmission... Hey there, Operator Reader! Wow, so, did everyone else have a really bonkers-crazy April or was it just me? I feel like I spent most of it sick and stuck in bed, but not every day can be the most productive. We're all still waking up and surviving, and honestly, that's good enough some days. Give yourself a pat on the back and pretend it's me sneaking in through your window to tell you I'm proud of you. Go ahead. It's not weird. If it feels like this newsletter is my...
