The Mission

Welcome to the Bulletin Board. This digital space is a laid back, cozy corner for our community to hang out, share resources, and connect. Grab a digital cup of coffee and stay a while!

Also, make sure to tune into my live streams! Check the calendar to see when I stream. We spend the evenings as the virtual **Cryptid Crow**, surfing the deep nooks and crannies of the web, crawling through Google Scholar, JSTOR, and the CIA FOIA reading room to uncover interesting tidbits. Come down the rabbit hole with us!

Visit My Virtual Bookshelf!

Read my poems, short stories, and upcoming webcomic by visiting my bookshelf!

Inspired by growing up in Southern Ohio and the foothills of The Appalachians, these stories, poems, and comics are a reflection of not only my experiences, But the ones who came before me as well.

I am proud to have a place to share my writing. I hope you enjoy reading!

The web comic officially launches July 16th right here on the site! It will be 100% free to read. I'll also be submitting it to a few indie webcomic webrings, so keep an eye out! If you want to support my art, donations to my Ko-fi or joining the Snail Mail club are always deeply appreciated.
