Speaking of award submissions, a reminder for the Scribe Awards also.
📣 Media Tie-In writers 📣
The Scribe Awards are now open! Eligibility is for works published from 3/1/25 through 2/28/26. Novels are 17,500 wordcount & above. Short Stories are anything fewer than that. An Audio Drama is not an audio book, it is a scripted drama written to be performed. Good luck!

After a rough night feeling ill, the last thing I felt like today was sitting on the tarmac for AN HOUR before my 5 hour flight. 😩

This AM I was in a bottle-o buying my pre-Metallica drinks. Two other chicks came in to get their pre-Metallica drinks. Then the counter chick was telling us how she lost a comp by 1 pt to win tickets. ‘Twas a bottle shop full of Metallica chicks. 😂 Perth is excited. It’s been 12 yrs between visits.

I could go on. There’s a touch of horror in everything I write, be it bioengineered creatures or soldiers, or serial killers, or just the dark, seedy underbellies of society. I do often balance the dark with romance, friendship or family bonds, however. Dark topics but not bleak stories.

And if you like a little humour with your horror, try the Spud Compton novella trilogy.
