The Future
We’re inching closer to the April debut of my hilarious first book. If you preorder it, the light will stand a chance against the darkness.

Still waiting on the release details of that magazine article. But when it comes to pass, you’ll be the first ones to know. Technically third, after myself and the editor, but you get the point.
