It's been a week. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Be good to one another. Lead with kindness and compassion. Lean into joy.

⭐️Now Available⭐️ Happy Publication Day to my YA Horror novel The Lake House Massacre. If you like teen slashers with a slow-burn mystery, this is the book for you. Plus, it's a quick read (only 30,000 words). #writingcommunity #YAHorror #TeenSlasher #Kidlit #Mystery #Thriller

It's wild to think my 24th book releases tomorrow...my YA Horror (slasher) The Lake House Massacre. I can't believe it'll be my 24th book!! #writingcommunity #YA #YAHorror #Horror #Slasher

Lol 😂

Ghosting on a full manuscript request (whether the request is from a literary agent or publisher that accepts un-agented submissions) shouldn't become the norm. It literally takes several seconds to copy and paste a form rejection into an email.

#KidLitTip #1. Everyone says middle grade novels aren't selling these days, but who cares? Editors are still buying them, + tons are working. Think about the great mid grade writers--Horvath, O'Connor, Medina, Yee, Applegate. In 2 years Mid grade will be hot again. It's cyclical. Just keep writing.

If you're a fan darker Middle Grade books, then you might like my my Middle Grade Horror novel
The Harbinger of Forgotten Things, which recently released! #kidlit #MiddleGrade #MiddleGradeHorror #Horror

Ask the Agent Question of the Day: (very paraphrased): “I’m worried about what to write given the precarious state of EVERYTHING. Help!”

Well I can’t help with EVERYTHING but maybe this will help a little???

I read the book SMALL SPACES today! It was an interesting, creative, and slightly spooky Middle Grade book!

Long day today sending emails to publishers accepting unagented submissions...hoping to find a new home (publisher) for my Middle Grade Fantasy book! #WritingCommunity
