(Catch and) Release Day: THE SACRAMENTS OF BLACKGUM LAKE Now Available

It’s official: my novella, The Sacraments of Blackgum Lake is now available from Lethe Press.

Abundant thanks Steve Berman for his enduring support, Inkspiral Design, and for all those (both literary allies and strangers) who read ARCs and blurbed Blackgum ahead of this weekend’s release—not to mention the generous, cover sentiments courtesy of Ramsey Campbell: “A pervasive sense of disquieting wrongness coalesces into hauntingly weird images that lead to a chilling conclusion you won’t soon forget.”

Lethe Press, 2026

JCPL Local Author Fair

Hosted by the Johnson County Public Library, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday April 18, I’ll join other writers from Central Indiana at the annual JCPL Local Author Fair. In addition to discussing previous releases (The Skeleton Melodies, and Ghouljaw), I’ll be showcasing my latest novella, The Sacraments of Blackgum Lake (Lethe Press).
