Anyone remember Comet Hale-Bopp in the late 90s? It is quietly in the backdrop of my latest horror novel, Bloodstains by Gaslight.

I get irritated when astronomical events are sensationized with fake photos. THIS is the "smiley face" that will be in the sky on the 25th, created by the moon, Venus, & Saturn. Still cute, but it's not like the in the images being shared widely.

In case anyone has any doubts about just how cool I was as a teen, I refer you to the bus tour I took with a group of Avon ladies in 1993, where my grandma was caught trying to shove me out a NYC window. Fortunately my hair was so big, it saved me.😎

Hey, look! It's my art on the back cover of @DarkBitesBlog's collection of drabbles! This was a really fun piece to work on.

Scares That Care is an amazing charitable organization raising money that goes directly into the hands of people who need it: burn victims, breast cancer fighters, and children with life-threatening illnesses.
And the events they host are genuinely fun!
