If you do only one thing tomorrow, go to a No Kings rally.
But, if you do TWO things tomorrow, join me at the Spooky Frog Book Fair in Brookfield, Wisconsin! I'll be there with a bunch of fantastic authors and artists, signing stuff and talking about horror. Hope to see you there!

Yeah, I know it’s Texas Chainsaw day. I’m watching this, though.

Finally remembering to post my Stokercon haul. Lots of treasure, including a new signed RPG, a signed unbound proof, a signed comic, more signed books, and a puzzle (sadly not signed).

Very proud of my town today. Also, taking pictures of a flag raising is hard. #pridemonth

Had to pull back a bit after Stokercon. Five nights with little sleep and driving over 1700 miles, it turns out, can take a toll. But I had a fantastic time hanging out with friends, idols, and just generally awesome people. Can't wait for next year!

On this, the 50th anniversary of the Spielberg classic Jaws, we still do not know who the paint-happy bastards were who deliberately mutilated this important public service message.
Did Brody ever catch them?
Were they ever hung up by their Buster Browns?
Why are they hiding the truth from us?

Last breakfast in Stamford. Bold of them to assume that I’m adult enough to be trusted with that much hollandaise. I WILL abuse this power.

Sat on on a great Stokercon panel about 80s kindertrauma with Robert Ottone, Jamie Flanagan, Katharine Silva, Logan Alexander Johnson, Alysa’s Alesia, and Ann Davila Cardinal. Nostalgia and lasting psychological damage! Fantastic!

Who was it that said, “Suspense is when they know what’s going to happen, but you make them wait”?

Heading out to Stokercon today. 13 hours from Chicago to Stamford, straight through. Why yes, I do know the definition of hubris. Why do you ask?
