‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Devilry in Godling Wood: A Medieval Horror is out Friday! A priest turned bard, Silver Ear, seeks fortune in Hagen's court & gets entangled in unraveling a secret lurking in Godling Wood, where a creature so old she doesn't know her origin (though she’s curious to learn) stalks.

Using A.I. as a screenwriter is literally killing your chances of making it in a very difficult business to make it in, even with all the talent and craft. All you've got is your voice, and passion. Those are the things that make writing worthwhile and fighting for your story.

I submitted Devilry in Godling Wood: A Medieval Horror to Sentinel Creatives in Aug 2025. Now, 14 months later, we’re a week away from the novel’s release. I’m excited & nervous about it. I’d be grateful for any help spreading the word. It means the world to me.

This anthology is out today! My story, 'Being the Fragmentary Testament of the Mechanical Monk of Caserta,' takes place in the Kingdom of Naples in the inauspicious year 1666. When the world stopped, at least for the mad monks of Casertavecchia.

Started the journal of notes—names, ideas, places, scenes, set pieces, interesting words, anything & everything that comes to mind—for the 70s crime novel. I’ll keep adding to it until I begin writing next April.
