Excerpt

You ask how I’m writing this? I found a piece of broken crystal and am scratching the letters into my calf, then rubbing coal dust into the wounds. The crystal has a point as thin as an eyelash. It doesn’t tear or pull at my skin; it creates lines more fine than even the sharpest quill. The coal dust should make the letters stand out. It’s an excruciating process, but I need to speak with you once more.

Bio

I'm a husband and baker from northern Wisconsin.

Writing Description

I write very weird, very dark stories with characters one step removed from reality.

Writing Goals

My goal for 2013 is to hit 200,000 words, comprising at least ten short stories and a novel. And, of course, I want to sell them all and buy a private Arctic island.
