This is never going to work, but I'm going to borrow an idea:

Buy my book
Isabelle says your tween will like it
She also thinks YOU will like it
so do the thing!

Also it won an award!

My home office. What should I put in this space over my desk? A favorite horror film poster? Pictures of our cats? I’m not sure.

Ugh! I keep trying to run a horror RPG for my best friends, but the Internet is NOT making that possible. Perhaps this is a sign. Perhaps the Universe is telling me to concentrate solely on my fiction writing.

Great piece of writing by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social about rewilding his yard and the journey that led to him finding himself ‘screaming, “What if this were your front yard?!” at a guy operating heavy machinery’

A Middle-Aged Man's Backyard Revolution
Looking for an escape, I became obsessed with restoring the natural ecosystem in my yard. Then a neighbor’s tree came crashing down—and kicked off a new battle.

If you're a horror book fan who is active on Instagram, Goodreads, or TikTok, you are probably familiar with Sadie Hartmann. She goes by Mother Horror and is a voracious reader and editor with hundreds of horror reviews. She has compiled that into a fantastic resource! #BookReport #HorrorFam
