A More Ancient Evil is brand new, but I'm now half through what I outlined for the 1st draft of The Exorcism of Raventree Hollow. With a daily routine, I'm getting back on track & more hopeful about my writing projects than I've been in a long time. This novel has a lot going on in it. #horrorbooks

Celebrate independence … from Am*zon. Get books direct from authors if available to you. Avoid the billionaires.

In 2023, I made this limited edition cover as a tribute to a classic Rosemary's Baby paperback. I brought my remaining inventory yesterday to the convention and sold all but one. A pleasant surprise. If you want the very last one, it is available on my site! #horrorbooks

These are cool books. They have the full scripts from Jordan Peele’s Us and Get Out, with stills from throughout the movies, plus several pages of behind the scenes details, an essay by Tananarive Due, and more. I am holding out hope they’ll make one for Nope.

There is a realm more wretched than Hell
Its gates have been opened
in the basement
of a sorority.

I'll be back at Sinister Creature Con this weekend! Come out on Saturday and Sunday to Sacramento, CA for the coolest horror convention around. Pictured is my table setup from last year. I'm excited to return to this fun event and meet some readers and horror fans! #Sacramento #horror

My editor called it the scariest book she's edited! I really tried to keep the pace and tension cranked to 11 on this one after reviews for my previous two horror novels said they start too slow. Hope this satisfies. Releases Aug 4, preorder available on my site.

The Realm Beyond, the final novel of my fantasy series, the people have had enough of their fascist dictator and corrupt government, fighting back in the streets.

No human is illegal, and we must all stand up for each other.

John & Judith Walter became the centerpiece in the investigation of Melinda McDonald’s death. Police ultimately cleared them of suspicion, but presence of the paranormal experts & self-claimed exorcist and clairvoyant respectively didn’t sit with the community. 1/🧵
