I’m thrilled to announce I’ve joined the @sobelobooks.bsky.social family! I can’t thank @lphernandez.bsky.social or @lcmarino.bsky.social enough for believing in me and this novella (title TBA 🤐) Coming later this year! 🖤

Nothing beats book mail! Congrats to my dear friend @abbyvail.bsky.social on her terrifying #debut, Writhe, from @sobelobooks.bsky.social! I can't wait to crack this horror open (but probably only in the daylight hours)! 😅
Please add Writhe to your TBR and congratulate my friend Abby. TIA! 💜

This was a gut-wrenching read. Dread oozed from the pages, but I couldn't help but keep reading. I'll be thinking about the ending for a while.
It's an amazing debut. I will keep my eye on @abbyvail.bsky.social.

We’re one day out from the release of WRITHE by @abbyvail.bsky.social. Meet Banner, a bullied boy who hopes his drunken mother’s nightly absences will bring him something he’s never had before. A Father. With every failure, the disgust for the other grows, pushing Banner into the arms of vengeance.

If you're going to StokerCon, let me know. I'll cry myself into oblivion if the incompetence of our country (unsafe air travel, in this specific case) hinders me from seeing people I really want to see now that I can finally go. Show of hands?

Listen, things are fucked, but that doesn’t mean your accomplishments don’t matter. Wrote a book? Got accepted to a program? Recorded a song? One year sober? Whatever it is, share it. Maybe your joy will bring someone else a bit of joy, and we all need that.

Today my littlest is 5, and that means school is closing in on us, and our everyday will change. I’m a sobbing fool, but we spent her birthday doing her favorite things, which happen to be spending time with sharks and “Goosebumps snuggles.” I’ll cherish it forever.

I love Courtney LaPlante and I wrote a book about this because I have personal experience with it, but it’s more angry than her delightful interview. Watch this clip and then tell someone you want it in horror book form.
