Don't let those eyes fool you 👀 She's read the book, and stared into the mouth of madness. She's seen things no floof should see, and lived to tell the tale!

Cheers to everything that got me through the late nights, long hours, and endless sticky notes!🍻Madness from the Sea releases in a few short hours, and I can't wait to share it with you 🤘 Lync to grab your copy in the comments!

Someone asked me yesterday if that quote was about love or death. The truth is… it’s both. Madness from the Sea isn’t about surviving the end of the world. It’s about what we’re willing to become just to feel seen in it. Two days.

Three days until this story makes its way into the world! Have you ever read a line and just knew it was going to live rent-free in your head? Madness from the Sea by Jonathon T. Cross ⚓️Obsession ⚓️Mind Control ⚓️Cults and Worship ⚓️Forbidden Knowledge

Writers ✒️✨ What's the one piece of advice that changed the way you write? #WritingCommunity

Writers! ✒️✨ Do you ever worry you'll run out of ideas?

Run out of #horror movies? #Novellas are the movies of literature! Action packed, a couple hours in length, and way cheaper than movies. Just sayin...

Does anyone on this site interpret dreams? This feels meaningful... There was a bird with a sword, and as we soared to the heavens it spoke these words to me: "When no one makes me, I'm right here with you." 🐦

Want to be a better horror author? ✒️ Read the Bible, or the Torah, or any religious text. These are collections of horror stories that cover the human condition. Like any good #horror book, these texts provide insight wrapped in terror, poor decisions, and vengeance. #WritingCommunity

People forget that horror can teach meaningful lessons. What inspiration is baked into your gruesome books? #WritingCommunity #AuthorLife

I dreamt of being murdered. ☠️ There's a lot to unpack there, but silver lining...I was narrating the experience and now I have a sick story opener! 📚✨ #AuthorLife #writerslife
