Hello there!
Thanks for stopping by Through a Glass, Darkly! The About page can give you a high-level overview of who I am and what this publication is all about. Use this page to familiarize yourself with the site and find what you’re looking for.
Long Serial Fiction
The centerpiece of this publication is my ongoing serial Sons of God, beginning with the first season, Flesh and Blood. Season 2, Daughters of Men, is currently in progress. This series will remain free for its duration.
I have been serializing my previously published novels here. Currently, the first novel in my Dominion of the Damned trilogy, Desolation, is available to read here for free, but it will soon be going behind a paywall. Restless Spirits, the first book in my Spirits series, was published here last year and is currently available to read for paid subscribers.
I plan to publish subsequent books in both series here in the future, alternated with new fiction, both short and long.
Sons of God - About and Table of Contents
Sons of God is an ongoing serial centering around Mae Bishop (who first appeared in the “Night Driving” portion of my book Women’s Work).
Short Serial Fiction
Sleep, Dearie, Sleep is a free original novella-length serial written for this publication.
Sleep, Dearie, Sleep: Start Here

Archie Craig is an ambitious young architect poised to make his mark on a new nation. Leaving a wife and child behind in Scotland to seek opportunity and fortune in the burgeoning United States, he has toiled away as an apprentice to one of the young country's most sought-after architects. Now Archie’s been given a promotion and the funds to bring his family to America, along with the opportunity to make a name for himself. He’s tasked with building a stone bridge that will connect North Carolina to the Southwest territory and help make the way for western expansion.
I’ve also serialized my previously published horror novellas here, including:
These, along with all other stories in the archive, are available to paid subscribers.
Standalone Fiction
I’ve published a number of short stories here, both new stories written for this publication and those previously published in my collections, Midnight Snacks. You can read them here for free.
I also post a monthly short story roundup that usually features my own flash fiction along with curated links to short stories and short serials from the amazingly talented horror and dark fiction writers around the Substack space. You can find those here.
Nonfiction
It’s not a regular feature (so far), but occasionally I write non-fiction articles, usually concerning the paranormal viewed through a Biblical lens and the theological implications of things that go bump in the night. Here’s what I’ve written so far:
I’ve also written exactly one movie review. I may do more, but I seldom go to the movies, so. Maybe not.
And if you go waaay back in my archive and poke around in this Substack’s previous life, you’ll find a couple of stabs I made at memoir-style creative nonfiction:
News & Updates
This publication is also the home to my weekly(ish) newsletter, where I mostly tell you what I’m working on, when books are on sale, and occasionally what I’m reading. These updates go out to all subscription tiers on Fridays (usually). If you want to see what you missed, you can read previous issues here.
