Lake Geneva is nice this time of year! Come sip and flip! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #wine #books #Wisconsin #author

Tomorrow! Come wine and dine...oh wait, wrong marketing tagline. Hmm, not really a wine and dine event. There must be another way to use wine and pair it with book sales. Ah! Sip and flip! Sip some wine and flip through the pages of Legend Has It. Hope to see you there! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

New blog post on the website. This one looks at the parallels of getting a book published and finding a job in a tough market. #booksky @rowanprosepub.bsky.social www.djslaterauthor.com/post/uncanny...

Gotta give one more shoutout to Nocturne Books for stocking Legend Has It. Yes, my friends, you can now get a copy in Canada! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky

While I didn’t take the top spot in the Shepherd Express’ Best of MKE contest, it’s still awesome to see my name amongst the other finalists. And in print too! Thanks to everyone for their support along the way. We’ll give it a shot again next year! #authorsky #booksky @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

Look at my cat acting like she’s inspiring a group of hyenas to take over Pride Rock! #lionking #cat #cats #catsky #kitty #catlife

I know Hugh Jackman serving custard at Kopp’s was all the rage yesterday in Milwaukee, but there was once a time I stood behind those stainless steel countertops. I just need a little more clout and fanfare to do it Hugh Jackman style! 😂 Glad he was here! It looks like he had a great time!

The Midwest gets its share of snow. I found a fun way to clear it. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social #starwars @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

My trips to the @mkepublicmuseum.bsky.social tend to remind me of a #story I wrote in middle school about an unexpected journey with #dinosaurs @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #authorsky #readersky

The first bookstore I did a meet-and-greet at was Story Keepers Books in West Allis, WI. How fitting that I'll be returning to this wonderful location for its 1st anniversary celebration on the first weekend in December. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky www.djslaterauthor.com/event-detail...

Before Legend Has It released, I was busy doing everything I could to make sure it reached as many readers as possible. One of those efforts was getting it in the Milwaukee Public Library's collection. It looks like they included it in more than one branch! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

Special thanks to Greendale High School for having me talk about Legend Has It and my author journey. It was truly an honor. When I was in elementary school, we had an author visit us and share her story. Now it’s me sharing mine. A true full circle moment. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky

There's a new place where you can find Legend Has It. Check out Novel Bay Booksellers in Sturgeon Bay. I've always been fond of Door County, and now I have another reason to love it even more. 😀 @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #bookstore #novelsky #authorsky www.djslaterauthor.com/wheretobuy

Happy Friday! Just a quick note to those who have read Legend Has It. Every review helps. No obligation, but I can tell you that I greatly appreciate them. Thank you, everyone! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky

Who doesn't appreciate a little holiday cheer? You can find me this December taking in the season at The Bottle Shop in Lake Geneva. Raise a glass and grab a copy of Legend Has It. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #readersky #horrorsky #authorsky

Stop 2 of 2. In the heart of Mukwonago, the real-life setting of Legend Has It. I’m in for a spooky good time! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #readersky #horrorsky

Stop 1 of 2 today. Carroll University has a nice campus. Come check it out! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #horrorsky #readersky

We were interviewed and had a great write up in South Carolina Voyager Magazine. southcarolinavoyager.com/interview/ch... 📚💜 #magazinefeature #smallpresspublisher #booksky #readersky #rowanprosepublishing

In the whirlwind of the book tour, I lost sight of some great coverage from my alma mater. The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire interviewed me back in September. It's a great read, and hints at my plans post Legend Has It. sway.cloud.microsoft/6gMhVi65PmoT... @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky

I’m curious. What level are you on? #booksky #horrorsky #readersky #authorsky

Love seeing so much press for the @rowanprosepub.bsky.social family! #booksky #authorsky #readersky

I added a new section on the website. Now you have a reference on where you can find Legend Has It in the wild. It's right under the Novels tab. www.djslaterauthor.com/wheretobuy @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #horrorsky #readersky

There’s something really cool about seeing your name and debut horror novel in your hometown newspaper. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #horrorsky

Aside from a private event, I have a small break until my next appearance. How appropriate that I'll be back in Mukwonago for this fun event! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #readersky #horrorsky #authorsky

All set up and ready to go in Waterford, WI. Let the fun begin! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky

Up and ready at La Finca Coffeehouse! Come say hi and grab a coffee! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #readersky #horrorsky #authorsky

So thankful for the coverage from my hometown newspaper!

Special thanks @bookbubpartners.bsky.social for including Legend Has It in its Haunted House Book List. #booksky

This was such a cool moment from the Spooky Frog book fair. A young fan asked me to sign his mask. (If you’ve read Legend Has It, this will make a lot more sense). Such an awesome moment! Grateful beyond belief! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #readersky #authorsky #horrorsky

It’s about that time! Been waiting a long time to be a part of Spooky Frog! Let the fun begin! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #horrorsky #readersky #authorsky

Tomorrow! It's safe to say I've been eagerly awaiting this event. Hope to see you there! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #horrorsky #readersky #authorsky

Had an amazing time at the Mukwonago Library last night. Thank you to everyone for all the support. Means so much to this new author!

This will be fun! I'll be at the real-world setting of Legend Has It tonight (okay, I won't be at Rainbow Springs, but close enough). Come check it out! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #horrorsky #readersky #authorsky

Legend Has It by DJ Slater is a Trick or Treat Bonanza pick It’s everything Seth could’ve imagined to rekindle his passion. A foreboding atmosphere. High-end set pieces. Realistic effects. substack.com/@nnlightsboo... #horror #giveaway #booksky @rowanprosepub.bsky.social @djslater.bsky.social

Back for another Game 2! Go @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social go!

There's a special blog post on the website. I sat down with 8 volunteers who were instrumental in the creation and success of the Rainbow Springs Haunted Hotel. You can learn more here: djslaterauthor.com/post/the-lor... @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #readersky #authorsky #horrorsky

This might be my new favorite coffee mug, although I really missed a golden tagline opportunity: “Some mugs weren’t meant to be found.” Oh well, I’ll do better on the next mug. 😂😂 @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

Happy to announce another book event! It'll be fun to be a part of the Local Author Fair in Waterford on Oct. 26. Thank you Reads By The River for the invite! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #readersky #horrorsky www.djslaterauthor.com/event-detail...

It's a busy week ahead! Not one, not two, but three book events. It starts in Franklin, shifts to Hartford, and concludes in Green Bay. Let the fun continue! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #readersky #horrorsky #authorsky

All set up and ready to go! Thank you Terror On Rural Street for making me a part of it all. And they even let me wear a costume for the occasion! #horror #spookyseason #books #Wisconsin #author #hauntedhouse #Halloween #novel @rowanprosepub.bsky.social
