Hey there friends! 

DARK NOUVEAU is my second coloring book that explores dark and moody themes in beautiful ways. The illustrations were originally commissioned as album art or book covers. Presented here are portrayals of life, death, despair, revelry, solitude, rage, and fear, all in their starkest black and white for colorists to add their own interpretations. Contains some minimal nudity.

For this one, we made some significant upgrades that you don’t typically see in coloring books. I did this so that emphasis could be placed on removing the art should the colorist wish to frame, hang up, give away, etc. And perhaps most importantly of all:

THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS. One for pencils, done on 20lb paper with a nice tooth for smooth gradients, and one for markers, printed on 100lb paper. This stuff is really nice. 

Features to get the most out of your coloring:

-BIG! 11.5″ x 11.5″-24 images, with 7 being full spread (left and right side)

-All images are single sided.

-Ring bound so that the pages can be fully colored and so that pressure marks don’t go through to other images.

-NOT AN AMAZON PRODUCT AND WILL NOT BE LISTED ON AMAZON. This book is published Greenbelt Press, a small business in Austin, Texas.

All of these features mean that this cannot be a cheap print on demand. The price reflects that. You are getting a high quality, large, ring-bound coloring book. Pencil is $15.00 and Marker is $22.00, plus shipping.

So That Light Carries Through

So That Light Carries Through

The nice folks at Janus Literary invited me to submit for their Editor’s Showcase and fortunately, they liked this piece that I sent over. It’s a creepy little nugget about the lengths people will go to hurt each other. About 1000 words of pure, unsettling darkness.

July 2nd: Reading, Q&A, and Blood Draw

We're doing a reading for THE PHLEBOTOMIST on July 2nd in Dallas. There will be Q&A, and complimentary blood draw (that might not be true).

Okay so there won’t be a blood draw. But this will be my FIRST live reading for THE PHLEBOTOMIST since the book was released nearly 10 months ago. If you’re in or around Dallas and have a free bit of time before you go crazy on a Friday night, I’d love to see you. Where: Barnes & Noble, Prestonwood Center, 5301 Beltline Rd. When: Friday, July 2nd, 6 p.m. Hair: Feathered

Talkin' 'Bout Dystopias

Talkin’ ‘Bout Dystopias

I joined fellow Angry Robot authors Gabriela Houston (The Second Bell) and Caroline Hardaker (Composite Creatures) to talk about the different ways that Caroline and I approached “medical” dystopian settings in our debut novels. This was a super interesting conversation and it was over way too fast. Link: Bookish Take: Medical Dystopias with Caroline Hardaker and Chris Panatier

Add STRINGERS to your TBR!

Add STRINGERS to your TBR!

My second novel, STRINGERS comes out in April of 2022, but it’s never too early to put it on your already-gigantic To-Be-Read pile! It’s up on Goodreads with a violently green placeholder cover! Ben isn’t exactly a genius, but he has an immense breadth of knowledge. Whether it’s natural science (specifically the intricacies of bug sex), or vintage timepieces, he can spout facts and information…
