Coming in 2026

The world is ending. Gus is dying. So he does what he's always done: he writes songs.

When a satellite collision destroys global communications, Gus—a thirty-six-year-old singer-songwriter running a scrappy indie label in Yellow Springs, Ohio—is sitting in a doctor's office, awaiting a diagnosis that will change his life. Now the satellites are falling, the old world is gone for good, and his own body is betraying him in the most humiliating way possible.

Simple Songs for the End of the World is a story about mortality, community, and the stubborn joy of making art when everything is falling apart. It's about the people who carry us through—a foul-mouthed German mother who refuses to leave her son's side, bandmates who show up when it matters, an ex-girlfriend who still knows all the words.

Tender, funny, and defiantly hopeful, this is a story for every musician who kept playing when no one was listening. For anyone who ever leaned on their people to get through the unthinkable. And for anyone who's ever believed that the right song at the right moment can save your life.

Tell Me Something Before I Show You is a collection of literary short stories about the private negotiations people make with memory, desire, and regret—often long after the moment has passed when anything could have been changed. Moving across lakeshores, marriages, childhood friendships, family gatherings, and the quiet interiors of aging bodies and minds, these stories trace the fragile line between what is shared and what is withheld.

Throughout the collection, intimacy is both refuge and risk. Characters confess too late, misread one another in crucial moments, or cling to private myths that help them endure what cannot be repaired. Loss appears not only through death, but through erosion: relationships thinning over time, bodies failing, certainty giving way to ambiguity. At times, the familiar world slips slightly out of alignment—images strain plausibility, perception falters, and moments of the uncanny surface not as spectacle, but as a reflection of the characters’ inner lives.

Written with restraint, emotional precision, and close attention to interior experience, Tell Me Something Before I Show You resists easy resolutions. Instead, it offers encounters—between people, between past and present, between longing and acceptance—that continue to unfold in the reader’s mind after the final page. This is a collection for readers drawn to quiet intensity, psychological depth, and the subtle distortions that emerge when ordinary lives are pushed to their breaking point.
