Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

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.

The Winnipeg Free Press just said this about VEIL: “The kind of horror novel that scares you on a visceral level...The book’s descriptions are so arrestingly vivid that it should come with a warning: 'Don’t read this book right before bed unless you want to have graphic nightmares.'.”

One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.

Portland area friends! Be there or, well, be somewhere else, I won't hold it against you. But if you want to stock up on some signed books ahead of spooky season, come on by!
This Saturday, 9/14, @pnwscribe.bsky.social and I will be hanging out at the Clackamas Barnes & Noble in Portland, Oregon signing copies of our books.
If you’re in the area, come grab some coffee, hang out, and check out all the awesome books. We’d love to see you there!

Just trying to distract myself from the agony of being on submission. The last time I did a PC upgrade, BLACK TIDE was out in the world looking for a home, which turned out pretty well, so here's hoping for a repeat!

It's far more important for a reader (and especially writers) to discover their own personal canons than the ones handed down from above. Anybody wanting to get into any genre should start by reading the books that sound cool to them. One weird trick, I know.
Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein should be required for anyone getting into sci-fi
