The VERY surreal moment of Joyce Carol Oates asking to take a photo of us for her social media 😆 and so graciously taking a photo with us, too. StokerCon 2025 was full of such amazing energy! @maywalker.bsky.social @jessiannyork.bsky.social

My debut novel has officially been acquired by @wednesdaybooks.bsky.social, an imprint of Macmillan. It’s such an honor to finally announce the news, especially at #stokercon on Friday the 13th of Pride Month. 🌈🔪

I’m honored to be doing a reading and moderating a panel on contemporary Southern Gothic literature at #stokercon next week. 🦇

Please don’t be shy if you spot me there, @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social family! 🖤
