Umm ‘kay. I vacillate daily from ‘everything’s going to be okay’ to ‘do we need survival kits when the power grid goes down.’

Maybe federal judges will realize it's time to stop dicking around and time to start throwing people in jail themselves.

Walz: Here in Minnesota, freedom means several things. It means freedom from hunger and poverty. That means freedom to worship or not. It means the freedom to be who you are anyway you choose, and that is a birthright..

#HorrorWritersChat

I’m Tonya and I’m new here. I write gothic 19th c historical fiction with, so far, themes of asylums, poisonings, and (forthcoming) early medical schools (think anatomical specimens in jars). Today I finished the authors note for book 3 and sent it off to my publisher.
Here we go with #HorrorWritersChat question 1:

Introduce yourself: Tell us who you are, what you write, and something that happened in the last week that made you proud

Quote post, and don't forget to include the hashtag!

Author here and new. I’m intrigued by this concept of starter packs! How does one find a reader/writer starter pack?!

Friendly reminder April 26 is Independent Bookstore day! If you were planning on stuffing your Kindle, may I kindly suggest you save that money to shop at an indie bookstore instead?

I don’t have a profile header image yet because I’m new here and I want to show all the covers of my books but the latest one hasn’t had its cover reveal yet…

On the scale of issues, this is minor. I mean compared to the tailspin of US democracy. *MINOR*

Hi, I'm God, and I have a question!

To all the politicians, lawyers and media people who have bent the knee to King Donald, I want to ask them one thing:

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELVES?!?

We're about to find out where John Roberts wants to end up in history books. And if history books are still gonna be a thing.

The indie bookstore around the corner had this sign. So I went inside and bought 2 books from the banned book section. Support local small businesses. Read banned books. Drink your Ovaltine.
