GDT and other classic horror writers do this: The thing that looks like the monster is never the real monster. I love that approach!

This book is one of my faves!

First experiment with sprayed edges. Got some cheap paperbacks at Friends of the Library. Was super easy and fast. Today I'll try it on my novel! #indieauthor #writingcommunity #sprayededges #bookart

Nice little review in IBR. Thanks Victoria Lily. #indieauthor #writingcommunity #bookreviews

Little time out at a tap House for Vern's 63rd birthday. Got to love Ashland Oregon, while we sipped our beer we watched aerial artists practicing in Lithia park . #ashlandor #oregon Skout Taphouse

You gotta watch the whole thing. Guys expressions are the best!

Any other authors have experience with Goodreads Giveaways? I just did my first (119.00) I'm happy with the # of requests (added a lot of "want to reads") Hoping a handful translate into reviews...eventually! #writingcommunity #bookgiveaways #indieauthor

Do you know people who live their lives in the passive voice? It's not good for novels, why should it be good for reality?
