In the movie 'Tomorrowland' Casey Newton is in class, her teacher lecturing about all the bad things that are happening.
She's constantly raising her hand. The teacher, annoyed, gives in and asked "What?"
Casey: "So, what are we going to do about it?"

~Her words, in my head, every day

My wee jack russell has a Giggle Ball. It is so energizing that she is only allowed to play with it for a few minutes a day. 10 minutes of pure chaos!

A brilliant way to take the pressure off drafting and just tell the story. ♥️

'Within The Haunt Of The Unseelie Court' (2nd ed.) is finally back on the market after some publishing glitches! What happens when a local resident's bad decision unleashes the dark fae on a small New England town in the 1930s. Epic!

At 16 I saw Derek & the Domino's (Clapton) in concert, heard Layla for the 1st time. But it was the piano portion that captured me. 52 years later, the tears still well whenever I hear it. Not because of nostalgia as much as it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.

Dreamed of my little dog last night who passed 3 years ago. Memorialized in Secant Pub.s 'Years Best Dog Stories-2021'
"...spoke thru tears of 15 years how his dog and him traveled about. The dog up and died... after 20 years, he still grieves..."

Hey #HorrorWritersChat! So, sending my protagonist to an exotic place to eat a rare species of fish (delicacy). It triggers time travel everytime they eat...anything
The horror? Where they land (black plague Europe, etc.) and never coming back together correctly after arriving (feet on wrong, etc.)

So #HorrorWritersChat we're on the past now, so lets talk time travel. It's usually more scifi than horror but how could you incorporate it into horror? I'm all ears.

After a short stint with B&N Press and a few hundred dollars lost to misprints, I've gone over to IngramSparks. The irony is... same printing co., the upside, I can talk to them directly. After months worth of anguish, finally the correct cover!

I'm R.C. Davis, I write Gothic Horror. I do it because horror stories thrill me and I endeavor to write a better one than the last. I love it!That hidden creature in the shadows, is either a member of the unseelie court or some biological aberration.

Hey #HorrorWritersChat. I'm Rami Ungar, I write horror and dark fantasy, I do it because I enjoy it and people like my stories, and probably Cthulhu is in my head? Either that or an entity made of shadows.
#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Hi. I'm Ian. I'm hosting tonight. I'm very jet lagged. Let's start with who you are, what do you write, and why do you write? Then, what weird creature lurks in the dark corners of your very 1980s mind?

60 years since I read a line in a horror novel where the protagonist passed some foul entity smelling of rotten corpse, on their way up the back staircase and to this day I still have to force myself to go up the 'servants stairs' in any old mansion I visit...
