Three years ago, a young white man drove 200 miles to a Black neighborhood grocery store, a grocery store the community spent years advocating for. He started a livestream & entered the store heavily armed & proceeded to murder 10 people & injure 3 for his audience.
We remember those victims today.
What we know about the victims of the Buffalo shooting
Grandmothers, charity volunteers, a former police officer, and a devoted sister. These are some of the stories of the people killed at a grocery store in Buffalo.

I showed my generally stoic teen the e-arc for my debut novel, My Lips, Her Voice. When she saw the dedication page, she whispered “you dedicated it to me?” and she teared up—just a little—and I full on sobbed.
Dedication page of book that reads: For Elora, may you always find your way.

My Lips, Her Voice will be out in 6 months! 🫣
Cover of the book, My Lips, Her Voice by LL Madrid. The design features tears of paintings with eyes, mouth, desert scene and an owl. Copper City's bloody history is steeped in ghost stories and whispers of serial killers, but three girls have caught the attention of something far more sinister. A grandmother tormented by visions tried to warn the town, but no one listened. Now, a haunted inheritance has passed to her granddaughters, Audrey and Mara. When Mara's body is discovered in the old mine, Audrey fears her grandmother's premonition is manifesting. The nightmare begins as Mara's spirit returns-lurking under Audrey's skin, hellbent on vengeance and desperate to rekindle things with her former girlfriend, Zadie. Willing to hijack Audrey's body to get what she wants, Mara drags them both into a deadly pursuit. When another girl in town goes missing, Audrey, Mara, and Zadie know the killer has struck again. In a fight to solve Mara's death and uncover the mystery of disappearances in Copper City, the girls soon find themselves at war with each other. How do you survive long enough to hunt a murderer on the loose if the person inside you might kill you first?

When I convened the panels for a podcast series about books, we had little inkling of the storm to come. The current storm is one in a long history of US attacks on dissent through regulation of free speech, which includes your right to hear and read.

Can't think of a better time to publish this.

I have a true crime book coming out in Feb., a reissue with 10k words of new developments that gives closure to family of a troubled young woman who went missing and unidentified for 25 years until genetic genealogy came along. Would love to talk about it on your pod/videocast if you're interested!

Oh heck you guys, only four months until THE CUT comes out!!

You can pre-order your copy here: read.macmillan.com/lp/the-cut-9...
A square image with a white background. Centered at the top of the image in black lettering a blurb reading, "Creeping with twisting tight tension. The Cut by C. J. Dotson is heart-hammering, breath-shuddering, and full of visions of monsters along our periphery. the terrors here will leave you speechless." Ind red lettering under that the quote attribution reads: -Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Forgotten Sisters. Beneath that, to the right, is an image of the book itself, a white hardcover with THE CUT written in bold caps across the top of the cover, a silver bathtub drain centered just under the words, from which emerges a fleshy reddish tentacle that squiggles down the page. Another blurb on the cover reads, "A creepy tale, guaranteed to keep you reading well past midnight" and is attributed to Erin E. Adams, Author of Jackal. At the bottom of the book cover is the name C. J. Dotson. In the main image, to the right of the picture of the book, is a large version of the drain with the tentacle coming out. Beneath the picture of the book text reads, "Available wherever books are sold: April 8, 2025"
