Love @mcmanlypants.bsky.social 's work, especially his Children of Solitude. @nicolegkurtz.bsky.social wrote a story in her Sisters of the Wild Sage collection that haunts me years later. And if you haven't read @lucybluewriter.bsky.social 's The Devil Makes Three yet, you should! #HorrorWritersChat

Pizza and generic cola. The antagonist of Phantom Delivery is an undead pizza delivery guy. So, it fits.
Also, coffee. The cool kids in my book drink coffee.

I'd definitely love for Little White Flowers to get a film adaptation. I don't have specific actors in mind for who I'd like to play the leads, but I would like to see neurodivergent actors at the helm since my main character Alice is autistic and her brother Andy is an ADHDer.

Yes, please! My most recent is a collection of shorts, so an anthology movie like Creepshow or Tales from the Crypt. Since they're all set in a suburban neighborhood, I'd love to get someone who doesn't LOOK scary but totally is as the host. Is Christopher Walken busy, you think? #HorrorWritersChat

Each year, I set a goal to read 52 books. That amounts to one a week, and I usually make it or exceed it. Looks like I'll exceed it this year, because I already made it and there are still a few weeks left in 2025. How many books a year do you read, on average? Is it the right amount for you?
