CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × JUMANJI When their detective friend is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign. #QuestPit #A #H #AG

DAD BODIES would have dice sets. Custom polyhedral dice for every character as described in the book. Also a prop Emerald Dagger. Maybe a fedora. Bloodied Hawaiian shirts? 🤔 Oh! And tabletop minis representing the dads! #writing #LitHodgepodge #writingcommunity #horror

A proposal for you and your colleagues: nationalize BioWare and assert ownership over their IP. It benefits Canada and EA will be really really annoyed, which is also entertaining.

Finally feeling well enough to start tackling DAD BODIES edits 🥲 Having kids is great and all, but the school-going ones are such germ magnets 🫠 #writing #editing #horror

Edit letter in hand and had a call with my agent to discuss it. Now to get DAD BODIES ready for submission, hopefully this year! #writing #editing #horror

After starting to write a couple of unrelated things, I find myself needing to write out tidbits related to future White Ciff/Ebonwald stories. . . so maybe it is time to start that rewrite. #fantasy #writing #priorities
