⭐️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

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.

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