When I first published a little horror chapbook called "Mother" a decade ago, I never thought I'd be typing something like this, but I'm so thrilled to share that my newest novel, THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE, is a Top 100 USA TODAY Bestseller.

It is with a saddened heart that I have decided to withdraw from attending Books by the Banks in Cincinnati this weekend (11/16).
Given how sketchy traveling across the country is right now, I can't risk another weekend of delays or cancellations for one day at a festival.
