What the dark turns to monsters
And oh what monsters

Writing draft one is no easier than it was for the last book.

Why is my MC procrastinating? Stop with the poetry and get on with being haunted already!!

Simpler times… were yesterday.

1830s rural New England was anything but simple.

I love gloomy beach days more than the sunny ones. I’ll take wandering the shore in the fog over baking on the sand any day.

A week ago I finished a non-fiction book about a BBC Micro. I can’t stop thinking about it. My mind melted.

The first computer we bought was a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack. Nobody from the 1500s left us notes on it though. Unless you count Sir Graham of King’s Quest.

Hopefully this doesn’t fall into The BlueSky Abyss. 🤞

My next book takes place in 1979, help a gal out & drop some killer books from (or influenced) the 1970s that you recommend as a must read, any genre. TY ❤️

For S&Gs I put MTV on this morning. And they are actually playing music videos.

I don’t understand the trend of putting duck tape over your nipples. Someone please explain.

There was a time, not too long ago, when a close advisor to the president of the united states making public, genocidal ideations would've led the news for several days in a row.

Blood-red swirls on fine paper
Made with soft, dead things
