The glamour of being an indie writer. I ordered copies of my book for the upcoming cons, and the geniuses at Amazon packed my laundry detergent with it—this is the result. Oprah help me. The detergent is everywhere — my clothes, the floor, all over my books.

Happy 38th anniversary to one of my all-time favorites, my beloved Chopping Mall! This movie is a classic and should be seen by everyone! This was one of the first 2 horror movies I ever rented on VHS 📼 (the other being the wonderful April Fool’s Day). Have a nice day! #HorrorMovies #ChoppingMall

Origin of the word “spinster” was in reference to their occupation and used to convey independent women who supported themselves and shunned social norms and expectations of their day; these women were considered useful and self-sufficient. Now people use it in a derogatory way. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Matt. I write horror. There's a feeling I get from horror that I don't get elsewhere, and I love that horror supports smart, brave women. I love to be scared and thrilled...until 3am when I hear every noise in the house. It also helps release my own fears and anxieties. #HorrorWritersChat
