I don't understand successful indie and hybrid authors that punch down on others. Seen it twice this week from the same bunch and I have to remind myself I don't fit in with that crowd anyways.

Unless it's about using AI. Then swing away.

A More Ancient Evil is brand new, but I'm now half through what I outlined for the 1st draft of The Exorcism of Raventree Hollow. With a daily routine, I'm getting back on track & more hopeful about my writing projects than I've been in a long time. This novel has a lot going on in it. #horrorbooks

Celebrate independence … from Am*zon. Get books direct from authors if available to you. Avoid the billionaires.

That brainwash torture scene in Addams Family Values, only it's our parents and Fox News... Precisely how we arrived at this point in America. #MAGACult

Little preview... 16 chapters written, 30ish to go. Am I allowed to say I love my own novel-in-progress? #horrorbooks

No reason but to highlight the gorgeous art of Eva Mout (Ursus Art) on the hardcover edition of We Are Not Alone in the Dark

We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

In 2023, I made this limited edition cover as a tribute to a classic Rosemary's Baby paperback. I brought my remaining inventory yesterday to the convention and sold all but one. A pleasant surprise. If you want the very last one, it is available on my site! #horrorbooks

These are cool books. They have the full scripts from Jordan Peele’s Us and Get Out, with stills from throughout the movies, plus several pages of behind the scenes details, an essay by Tananarive Due, and more. I am holding out hope they’ll make one for Nope.

I'll be back at Sinister Creature Con this weekend! Come out on Saturday and Sunday to Sacramento, CA for the coolest horror convention around. Pictured is my table setup from last year. I'm excited to return to this fun event and meet some readers and horror fans! #Sacramento #horror

My editor called it the scariest book she's edited! I really tried to keep the pace and tension cranked to 11 on this one after reviews for my previous two horror novels said they start too slow. Hope this satisfies. Releases Aug 4, preorder available on my site.
