#booksky I just took a break from #gothic and #spooky to read an #historicalmystery: The Secrets of the Old Post Cemetery. It weaves the #AmericanRevolution with present day Upstate New York ❤️, featuring an artifact: a Traitor's Map. Loved learning about the history and enjoyed the twists!

#booksky This week I'm thoroughly enjoying #Draakensky by @paulacappa.bsky.social Like the wind that is so important to the story, the plot swirls with tension, mystery and otherworldliness. If you like #darkfantasy and #gothic, read it!

#booksky #horrorwriting I've been reading again, and this week I've been immersed in short stories. This one from Francesco Levato creeped me out (in a good way)! www.metastellar.com/fiction/a-th...

#booksky #romancelandia #paranormalromance @sincworldwide.bsky.social had a terrific authors’ panel recently. 1 author suggested reading #romance as a way to develop your writing/plotting skills--no matter what genre you're working in. So, what #romancebooks do you suggest authors be sure to read?

#booksky #horrorwriting I loved #DarknessatDusk, but now I'm back to #Frankenstein with all that scientific hubris vibe. If the MC had only told the truth, so much pain and suffering could have been avoided!

#booksky Starting #Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus. Years ago, I read the novel for the #monster but now I have an older eye and it feels right as we grapple with ensuring AI serves us. My pick for music to read by: youtu.be/HnLgIqDYCPE?... (Love Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet!)
