Books, stories, fictional podcasts, creative experiments,
and whatever else I probably should’ve thought twice about starting.
Currently writing:
probably something unhinged
Currently building:
definitely too many things
Currently pretending:
that I know when to stop
Currently fueled by:
spite, snacks, & questionable decisions

So who’s responsible for this?
Hi, I’m CJ.
I’m an indie author, storyteller, and enthusiastic creator of fictional problems. I write across genres because apparently choosing one would have been far too reasonable. When I’m not making fictional people’s lives considerably more difficult, I’m usually building something else, championing indie authors, or following an idea just to see where the hell it goes.
WHAT FRESH CHAOS IS THIS?
LATEST UPDATES. CURRENT OBSESSIONS. PROBABLY BAD IDEAS.
LATEST FROM CJ
NEW RELEASE

YOU MADE IT THIS FAR.
Might as well stick around.
