A poem I wrote when I first started to quit smoking a year ago and couldn’t figure out why it was such an emotional struggle on top of physical. 20 years without my dad and cigarettes were a big contributor to losing him, so it was time for me to quit. Thank you for reading ❀️🐜

Yes!! I wrote it when I was turning 30 because it felt like this enormous thing. Who I was, what I wanted out of life, like I was already β€œtoo old” to do anything.

I first explored this world in another book, -30-. They can be read independently but if Imago sounds good you’d like it too!

A collection of sci-fi stories that take place in a near future where people have a chance of disappearing on their 30th birthdays. This fact flavors everyday life, especially for Under-30s. Ephemeras are people who fill the need for companionship people struggle to find otherwise.

The wolf in sheep’s clothing! I took it in a certain tongue in cheek direction in Do I Terrify? in a story called Blood of the Lamb.

The MC is a farmer who keeps finding coyotes (or what’s left of them) laying around his sheep pasture. What could be doing it I wonder? πŸ€”

A little blurb carousel for Imago, the main novella of Imago and More Ephemera Stories!

If you were a Typhoid Mary-esque carrier in indefinite quarantine, would you seek companionship in a life-like android? What if you knew it was being controlled by a living person? Could you fall in love?

Centipedes are highly misunderstood creatures, so I’m really happy to hear multiple requests on drawing those beautiful danger noodles (leggy version)! Their β€œfangs” are actually a pair of modified legs, and those curly antennae are my favorite parts
