Are you local to Augusta, GA?
Or fancy a pre-holiday road trip?

To be chosen by Steph Cha and Don Winslow and to be among some of my favourite people and writers is an overwhelming honor.

Huge thanks to Starlite Pulp for its first home.

Please get yourself a copy, if not for my dirty little spite story, than for one of the other 19 amazing ones.

Admittedly, *Spooky Girl* books are always my favourite, but especially in October.

This is virtual now. You can come in your jammies and BYOB!

The end of midterms means a little breathing room. I'm over on the stack tonight:

My family and I survived Hurricane Helene last year.
I wrote this story to process my anger, grief, and confusion. I'm grateful to @rhppress.bsky.social and @curtisippolito.bsky.social for giving it a home. I'd love you to buy this Antho, but even more I want you to vote.

Well, shit.

I have waited all summer for these morning glories to bloom. That they decided to pop on the anniversary of Helene and so near my dear friend @theandrewkclark.bsky.social 's book launch means something, I think?

I've been a big fan of Archer since we published her short story, "Somewhere, Something, Something" over at @reckonreview. Super excited to get to talk about her novel THE WITCH'S ORCHARD @malapropsbookstore on 10/14 at 6pm!!

Cold Caller Magazine asked me about the inspiration for my story 'They Light Themselves on Fire' (included in the forthcoming Best American Mystery and Suspense 2025) and, as usual, I am a ray of sunshine.

Flint and I learn about the qualities of a reasonable person while my people play Catan.

Impromptu/forced vacation (due to some house repair complications) is not so bad. Husband and kids are exploring while Flint and I study (and panic about deadlines and lost time) in these digs.

Flint is very serious about keeping me on task.

Home from a really intense orientation weekend. Can't say that I'm not wrestling with some imposter syndrome. But, by far the most exciting part was meeting a bunch of brilliant, brave women who are taking on this new challenge midlife to better themselves and their families. #JurisDoctorMom

Look who I found!!
Thank you Meredith and Erin for the warm Dayton welcome. Nothing like dinner with some crime besties to get me ready for the big day tomorrow!

Flint is not so sure about this *mama leaving* business.
"Does Ohio have good snacks?" he wonders.

My babies are no longer babies!! 😭

The joy of books, indeed.

Spent the last month working on a short story and taking a 'fresh eyes' break from this baby. But I'm back on my bullshit now, loves.

P.S. you should be reading @danleach.bsky.social

BIRNAM WOOD by Eleanor Catton
Good Lord. This ending is bleak. (And possibly perfect, but also, whew, dark.)

How fucking lucky are we? All these brilliant books came out this week!
