Dead Meat

After the frozen remains of dinner take the shape of a man, a team of researchers and their cook find themselves irreversibly changed. Dead Meat is an original work of horror for the morbidly inclined, enjoyers of corny comedy beats and lovers of the inhuman human. Complete as of 10/03/2025. Approx. 115k words.

Dead Meat Morsels

Marker illustration of Cinnamon Maeweather, a mixed race nonbinary person. They have a round face and brown hair thats longer on one side than the other. They're frowning at a multicolored bird on their shoulder. In the background is a grassy field and a road of yellow brick, leading to an emerald castle in the distance. A shadowed figure overlooks the entire scene.

Starstruck

The last thing Cinnamon Maeweather remembers is hurtling through space with no oxygen and no hope. So how'd they end up in a colorful world of magic and wonder straight out of a book?! Starstruck is co-authored with my friend Cinnamon Xochitl, and is an upcoming sci-fi fantasy with a dash of existential horror and political intrigue in a world where not all is what it seems...
