Reviews of Death of a Clown often mention that the reader felt as though it was written for them personally.
So many of us 'misfits' out there, which is why so many of us empathize with Chester's plight on a deep level.🖤

Wonderful words for Rat-She from @horrorbookshelf.bsky.social.

Rat-She 'takes post-apocalyptic fiction in a bold, horrifying direction'.

Out February 21st

In the puddle of mud that is Wales, our morning hike was along part of Offa's Dyke path nr Forden. We were aiming for Beacon Ring hill fort, but the path was dire in the end. Still covered a few miles though.

Some of the trees felt as if they were going to get up and keep us company!

We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest.

We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.

Today's morning ramble was around Old Oswestry Iron Age hill fort. Set a bit lower than some of those we've tramped around but still a good hike. Very muddy so couldn't explore all the levels. Will be going back.
(Oswestry is town in Shropshire not far from England/Wales border.)

Happy Friday!! I got hit with an unexpected expense and it would really help if people got physical copies directly from me <3
I haven't yet shown off the scarf that @loping419c.bsky.social made for me inspired by THE CRADLE OF ETERNAL NIGHT and it is among my favorite things in my home

Firebird Book Award and Independent Press Award winner.

THE MONSTERS AMONG US is cinematic dark fantasy novel brimming with twists, tension, and high stakes. Unapologetically neurodivergent. Ruthlessly anti-authoritarian. Fully unique and thought provoking.

Got a wonderfully insightful review over on Gingernuts of Horror!
“If the idea of a psychological, structurally ambitious, genre-blending story intrigues you, if you’re the type who craves a why behind the ghost that’s smarter than a murderer, this house is waiting.”

Happy Friday, everyone!

If you're somewhere snowy and it's getting to you, why not take an excursion to a warm cave on a distant planet with plenty of hot coffee and floral art to make you think of spring? Nothing will go wrong. Probably.
