Question to the sky: I know many won’t engage with Substack anymore for very good reasons. But is there an alternative that offers the same level of discoverability? I know there’s plenty of other newsletter options, but what about ones that let you stumble upon related content from other creators?

Who remembers Stacey Keach as Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer? Classic viewing! It’s Mike’s final instalment (or is it) in Baby, It’s Murder by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins.

I was stoked to interview Max Allan Collins - couldn’t let this one pass me by!

I really enjoy interviewing other authors! It’s such a gift to be able to do so. If you’re interested in interviewing fantasy/horror/supernatural/spooky/gothic/sci-fi authors, drop me a message.

I coordinate a fantastic group of interviewers for @horrortree.bsky.social and I’m
currently scouting! 😃
