I don’t promote myself enough. I wrote a poem. It was published in Apparition Lit’s penultimate issue 27. I think that is pretty amazing. It is free to read today. Give it a read if you please. 🙏

Coming soon. A novella I wrote. It’s a creepy, pulpy cyber noire about an assassin sent to kill an old guitar maker. It has switchblades, human dissolving, draconian restraints, and even a little bit of music. I dare you to read it. books2read.com/LUTHIER-ROSSE…

Hey, check this out. Got a thing coming out through @BlackHarePress Cyber punk noire with some pulp and gothic vibes. Contains liquified humans, girls with knives, and artisans in a future that doesn’t care about antique craftsmanship. blackharepress.com/the-luthi…

My first published poem “Light Lies” will be in this issue. This wonderful magazine is the first place I ever dared send a submission to when I started subbing (almost 4 years ago now). I am excited to be in the Anachronism issue. I hope you will give it a read.
ISSUE 27: ANACHRONISM July 15th! A completely surprising take on our Anachronism theme. A lovely message. With math and science notations?! It's weird and we love it. Because we're all just "vectoring along, singing our song." Poem "Light Lies" by Coby Rosser @PaperNinjaMan

Finally snagged Wyrms 2 in print and read it end to end the way God intended. Elated to see my efforts bolstered by bangers from @joshofclark @KDMcDougall @PaperNinjaMan @JessGofton @jheijndermans @ScaryShelley and many more. Thanks to Fizz for accepting the modelling assignment.

Opening a WIP from a year ago that’s on topic for a themed sub and it’s 1800 some words already with unfinished bits listed in notes at the end of the document, only the last note says: chameleon escape sequence (to be awesomed out fashionably). I have no idea WTF that means.
