Bookruptcy.com is now michaeljriser.com. Because I guess it always should have been, really. I’m trying to get my shit together, so I’ve got a shiny new (read: reskinned) website and a newsletter.

I’ll be appearing in the upcoming anthology Qualia Nous 2 from Written Backwards and Michael Bailey. This is a dream come true, not only to work with Michael (who you may already know from the popular Chiral Mad anthologies), but to appear alongside such illustrious company as Stephen King, Chuck Palahniuk, and Gabino Iglesias, to…
