🐺Usually, he ignored vagrants & hitchhikers.
But he noticed a black eye, a fresh bruise like a misshapen heart on her raised arm.
The wolf inside him opened a slumbering eye and braked.

The main character of my upcoming sci-fi horror release VEIL (9/16) owns a bookstore called The Constant Reader Café (because he's a huge Stephen King fan). An amazing reader named Sarah Bartz and her talented sister-in-law Stephanie Sorrenson created this design and t-shirt, and I love it!!!

Wild tale.
Tonight I read the intro of my "Elena & The Count" chapter of AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC; a particularly crazy true story, to a supportive crowd at Shade Bar. This chapter made me so angry researching it, I had to write a fictional short (linked below) as therapy. THX, @hwany.org, for being so lovely. 🖤
Chill w us for #Horror readings @ famous #NYC Shade Bar. Fun & a/c! There will be crepes, drinks, scary readings, horror trivia, a raffle, book giveaways. Did we mention crepes? Sunday, August 8 from 6-9pm #events #free @teelglenn.bsky.social @carolgyzander.bsky.social @svpthinks.bsky.social
