Hot Plates 3
New short story, podcasts, live events, and more
Just dropped a new joint bout snorting bath salts and coming up with baby names over on the Broken River Writers’ Collective page. The story’s called “Chicken and Waffles” and it’ll serve as the intro to my collection God Is Wearing Black, which drops August 8th. For a signed copy, you can pre-order right here.
Panel from Homunculus, by Hideo Yamamoto
The latest Agitator is a two-parter on self-trepanation and reconciling the past, set to the beat of Hideo Yamamoto’s excellent manga Homunculus. First forty minutes of each episode are free on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. The full uncut episodes are on Patreon.
Crooks of the New Sun
My brother/frequent collaborator J. David Osborne and I linked up with Matthew Sini over on Getting Lit for the first in what will be a four-part monthly series covering Gene Wolfe’s epic scry-fi masterpiece Book of the New Sun. Part 1 is up now on all podcast platforms (Spotify link below). Matthew recently dropped a fire essay on why Gene Wolfe’s shit slaps so hard, which you should check out here.
Events
I’ll be slinging books and hanging out at Voidcon in October, so if you’re in the area or can plan the journey, pull up.
I recently got to participate in the mayhem of Ghoulish Show in Austin, shouts out Max and Lori and Andrew—my bad bout the ribs, bro. This one was set up like an improv late show gone wrong. You can watch the full thing below:
