Warm holiday greetings, friends. As you may have noticed, I skipped the last two newsletter updates. I thought I’d done one for October but as I can now see, I started it and never finished. Without getting too deep into it, a lot happened over the last couple of months, and it’s basically just good things. Challenging things, but good…

The Cryptid Times – September 2025
Hello beautiful readers and anyone else who happens to stumble on my ramblings! Fall is basically here, and this cryptid is *thriving* in this weather. At least, as much as I can. Here’s your monthly update on my writing. Unfortunately, I only managed about 1k of words more than last check-in. I’ll be honest, writing was really hard for me…
Newsletter: The Cryptid Times – August 2025
Hello friends! As usual, you can call me Al. I’m going to try and do something different with my website, which is to say, I’ll be doing my best to make monthly posts and let you know what’s going on in my weird little horned hobbit life. I think how I’ll be formatting this is starting with my own projects…
Free e-book on me!
Hey friends! I guess better late than never. I’d forgotten it was Indie April and was reminded when I got back on social media. So, for my contribution, The Devil Went Down on Georgia is FREE today and tomorrow (if I set it up correctly. I’m pretty sure I did. Follow the link below and get your copy!
2025: The Good, The Bad, and The Frustrating
In an effort to not be immediately cynical or somber, I’d like to start this post by sharing a small victory. I went to my very first book fair, and it was an incredibly positive, uplifting experience. I met people who were legitimately interested in my works, and I sold books! I was only able to buy about 25 of…
The meaning behind the books
*Trigger warning: mentions of abuse* Hey friends! Al here, dishing out some fun little factoids about the person behind the mask. In my last post, I mentioned the fact that I was raised in a *very* conservative christian household. As you may have surmised, perhaps from your own experiences, that fucking sucked. Excuse me while I don’t mince words about…
Getting Back on the Wagon
(With some added spokes to the wheel) Hi friends!! Al here. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Life has changed dramatically for me over this past year. I know I went silent out of nowhere, especially considering I was about to publish my second book, but I had a lot of internal things I needed to sort out between then…
Finishing Blood and Key Lime Pie
Hello Friends! Al here. It’s been a long time coming, but I finally did it. As fun and light-hearted as this persona is, there were a lot of dark times in the process of this year+ of trying to finish my first full length novel. This is, technically, my first completed full length novel. This is not the first novel…
Preview: Blood and Key Lime Pie
Hello Friends! Al here with the much awaited preview of the book I’ve been working on. I know I’ve been promising this for awhile now since reviews have been coming in for The Devil Went Down on Georgia, but the transition from fall to winter is always difficult for a cryptid that lives in a dank, cold, abandoned trailer in…
A Monster’s Manifesto
Hello friends! It’s Al. For those of you who don’t follow me on Facebook, I made a post about finally stepping into the heinous sunlight to be accepted into your strained society. This is me: Yes, as I have said prior, your favorite (hopefully) cryptid smut writer is, in fact, a cryptid. Surprise! I hope you like surprises. I certainly…
