New Publications

In totally opposite directions, albeit both socio-political, I have two projects that hit today. The first is Robert Martin's Lost Fables of Eldrin the Reluctant, published through Nat 1 Publishing and for which I did all of the illustrations. Find it on Amazon here.

And the second is the third installment of Taco Tim for Carnage House. The fact that this appears in Carnage House should be trigger warning enough, but consider the series NSFW and 18+ just like everything else appearing under my horrorotica avatar.

 

"I Made Stew" Said the Gnu

Also out now is my first solo children's book - "I Made Stew" said the Gnu featuring nonsense rhyme in the style of N. M. Bodecker's "Let's Marry" said the Cherry. The absurdity abounds with silly animal pictures and is seemingly unending in its banter. You can find it on Amazon here.

The Best of Carnage House Year 2

Single Issue Voter Souffle, written under my horrorotica avatar Penny Blood, appeared in The Best of Carnage House Year 2, released through Amazon in Nov. 2025 as found here. Please note - this is Carnage House, which should be trigger warning enough, so be aware that this story contains themes of abortion, murder, pregnancy, politics, rape all dealt with in an intentionally irreverent and offensive manner. Read at your own risk.
