The Substack

Functionally Feral

Part newsletter. Part live commentary on my life. Sometimes I talk about writing books. Usually it's just chaos.

Why subscribe

Here's what arrives in your inbox.

◆

Weekly chaos essays. Dispatches from the closet floor. The dog's chronic illness, the children's psychological warfare, the bedwetting alarm, the time I dropped out of uni and moved to Australia for a boy. Functionally Feral is the publication. I am the publication. We are the same person.

◆

Book news, only when it matters. When The Severed Bond goes live, you'll know before the algorithm does. No "I'm so excited to share!" No countdown timers. Just: it's out, here's the link, go forth.

◆

Things that didn't make the book. Occasionally. Deleted scenes. Tarak POV. Lore drops about the shadow god pantheon that didn't fit anywhere else. Hellhound origin stories. Whatever I dug up that I couldn't bear to throw away.

◆

Axolotl facts. Sometimes. Genuinely. Juno would want it that way.
