Books are magic.
What if books were sacrificed to create compliance? Would the magic call out to those who crave something more?
What would you risk to save the magic of the written word?

Written before the election. I have found that immersive reading is saving my mind right now. That means without my phone nearby to doom scroll, btw. Immersive reading does not work with constant distraction.

Cults and mind viruses run rampant. Powerful algorithms hijack our minds. No wonder we all feel so deranged.
They say my novels are surreal. But when I watch Elon Musk playing the jester in Donald Trump’s court, I’m not so sure. His latest novel is “Absolution.”

I’m in a bit of a slump, writing-wise. I’m running low on the fuel that convinces my inner editor that I’m a “real writer.” What do you do when you feel envy and self doubt getting a toe hold in your usually supportive and can do attitude studded facade?

Get that first book. Publishing can be like Netflix and you’ll never see the second one otherwise.
Never, ever put off buying book one of something because book two isn't out. That's a good way to ensure book two is dropped by the publisher. Sure, a couple of big noisy boys have let you down. Most of us can, do, and are burning to in fact finish what we started, given half a chance.

Dastardly Damsels edited by @suzie-sam2.bsky.social is an amazing anthology of horror written by women. These authors know their way around the genre and deliver stories from the weird to the bloody to the slow burn creepy and everything in-between! Highly recommend.
