Currently reading "How to Fake a Haunting," and am really enjoying it. @christaqua.bsky.social was also very nice when she signed my copy at the Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival.

Took a writing break and walked in the woods. Reading & hiking fuel the soul.

Honored to have my dark poem about 3 Final Girls included in the new Poetry Showcase XII from @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social! It's available now on Amazon & I will have a few copies for sale in Salem later this month. Exciting!

Reading the very dark & very vivid "Fox" by @joycecaroloates.bsky.social. The abuser's pov is so well-crafted and disturbing. Damn, it's terribly good.

"Isn't America dangerous? Many people have guns, yes?" Actual questions from a taxi driver I met when I lived in Asia.

Book Rec: "Courage to Heal." 5 stars. Survivors everywhere feeling triggered by the hostility & denial targeted at the girls Epstein used & trafficked: I see you.

Started “Cracked Sky” after Ben Eads presented during a Zoom workshop. I’ve been crazy-busy, but ge pylls you tight inyo his characters’ strange grief & eerie question of a child lost between worlds. #Bookthreads

So anyway, fellow book nerds, just hearing my idol JCO read her story & then having her sign 3 books. No biggie.
