Now
What I’m actively working on as of January 2026.
Current Writing
Weekly Flash Fiction Commitment
- Publishing one piece of short fiction every week throughout 2026
- Mix of new drafts and revised older works getting fresh attention
- Using this as consistent creative practice and skill-building
The Haley-verse Expansion
- Continuing the interconnected story universe
- Developing new stories featuring Haley Madigan and related characters
- Exploring cosmic horror and dark fantasy themes across multiple narratives
Active Reading
Deep into three very different archives for craft study:
- Jack Whyte’s Dream of Eagles series – Revisiting the complete cycle for scope and multi-book character development
- Robert Service’s collected poetry – Studying rhythm and narrative power in verse (from my grandfather’s copy)
- Clive Barker’s Imajica – Preparing for a deep dive into epic-scale world-building techniques
Tech Side Projects
Documenting AI integration experiments for creative workflows at Digital Doug. Exploring tools and techniques while maintaining the human spark in the creative process.
