Late posting this beautiful package sent by the amazing @authordonnataylor.bsky.social but not late letting you know MONSTERS IN THE MOUNTAINS comes out 03.12.26. It’s Book 2 in the San Nico Slayers series & it’s fantastic! 5 ⭐️s. Seriously! I couldn’t put it down. Donna is a brilliant writer.

COVER REVEAL! Look at how beautiful this cover is! It’s the cover to Donna Taylor’s 2nd book in the San Nico Slayers Series! If you read Blood on the Boardwalk, you’re going to love this one too! Mark your calendars, Monsters In The Mountains releases 3/12/16! #yahorror #horror #booksbooksbooks

BOOKMAIL IS HERE!!! I’ve been waiting for these to arrive for so long. I cannot wait to sink my fangs into them. #bookmail #bookish #books #HorrorBooks #Savethecat #savethecatwriteshorror #twistedtales #horrorreads #readhorror #reading #spooky #spookybooks #indiepress #indiebooks #indiehorror

October hasn’t been Octobering like I know how October can. It’s been a strange month & on top of that I’ve worked every day except last Saturday when I took time off to attend the Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival. It’s the only thing that has kept me connected to my favorite month. #Books

Haven’t had much time to read the last couple months, but what I’ve been able to, they’ve all been 5⭐️ books. I don’t know how I’ve been so lucky or been on such a win streak, but I’m not complaining. In fact, I’m loving it! Have you read any of these? If not, do so! #bookrecommendations #bookrecs

Yes, what waking up from having a fever dream about the psychological horror story you’ve been thinking about for months that has finally come together and is ready to be written looks like. Seriously these pictures though, if you can’t make fun of yourself, are you really living? #writerslife

Let it be known that for the next 31 days this will be my answer for when I’m asked questions like: “What were you thinking?” “What goes on in that little brain of yours?” “What’s wrong with you?” “Where’s your head at?” “Why can’t you focus?” “Why are you like this?” You’ve been warned. #October

And so it begins. #HappyOctober #October #OctoberMood #OctoberVibes #Autumn #AutumnMood #AutumnVibes #Fall #FallSeason #HappyHalloween #Halloween #SpookySeason

October is finally here and to honor it, how about a photo dump to get us all excited for the days ahead of us! Happy October everyone! #HappyOctober #October #OctoberMood #OctoberVibes #Autumn #AutumnMood #AutumnVibes #Fall #FallSeason #HappyHalloween #Halloween #SpookySeason

Woke up at 6:03 am on a chilly Sunday morning to the sounds of an owl nearby, crows in the distance, & the rustling of dying leaves on the tree outside my window. Then I rolled over in bed & saw Gemma sitting in the window enjoying the moment like me. I love moments like this. #Autumn #Sunday #Vibes

Monday is the official start of Autumn and I have never needed it more in my whole life. I read Classic and Gothic Horror for the Fall/Winter season. This year's classic is THE OTHER by Thomas Tryon--but here are some that I have read & loved previously-try @valancourtbooks.bsky.social for books!

Soundcheck. #FantasticFest #TheRestorationAtGraysonManor

It’s been awhile since I took a day off & went to a book store. Was I overly excited, overly caffeinated & told to stop running around like a wild child loose in a candy store? I cannot confirm nor deny, but I will say before they kicked me out I was able to buy a few books to add to my collection.

@spooktasticbookfair is in the books. It was a long day but not long enough. I took pictures but not enough. Met friends but not enough. Each year it just gets better & better. I 🫶 all you guys. You don’t even know the level of energy & inspiration you give me.🖤 #spooktasticbookfair #bookfestival

Writing Room Reveal! I’ve had many in my life but there’s something about this one that speaks to me. It calls to me when I’m away. And when I enter, the energy feels different. I can’t explain it, but it feels right - it feels oh so right. Muahahaha. #writingcommunity #writerslife #horrorcommunity

Although it’s only been a couple months living in Maine, it’s been an amazing wild ride & I’ve been loving every minute. I couldn’t be more happy with this place. #Maine #MaineLife #NewEngland #EastCoast #horrorcommunity #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

I had such a great Day 1 at #StokerCon2025 that I didn’t even get a chance to buy the books I’m determined to return home with. So imagine my surprise when the night ended & finally checked out what was in my gift bag. Yep, 2 of the books on my list! SCORE! Gawd, I love this event! #horrorcommunity

I’ve been meaning to post this announcement for several weeks, but life’s been nonstop ever since I finished writing & editing my Gothic horror novel. I’m so excited & exhausted … but it’s done! All 108k words! It’s finally done! 🙌 🙌 🙌 #writingcommunity #writing #writer #writers #writerlife #horror

#HorrorReaderWeekend - Horror on the Rappahannock. The readings. What a whirlwind! There was shock & horror - laughter & cries. I couldn’t have asked for more. All who read, I applaud you again. Your readings were amazing! I’m bummed I didn’t get to see everyone. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily

Day 2 of #HorrorReaderWeekend - Horror on the Rappahannock. Like how I know my body would burst into flames if I entered a church, my wallet is about to burst into flames standing in front of this table. Look at all these beauties!!🖤 Seen any favorites? Any must haves? #horrorcommunity

Day 1 of Horror on the Rappahannock in Fredericksburg, VA was a blast! The book swap was awesome. The Haunted Fredericksburg Book Talk w Historian Michelle L. Hamilton was both intriguing & spooky. Loved it! And bourbon cocktails at the Ironclad Inn - YUM! #horrorreaderweekend #horrorcommunity

Me, loading up the car for the road trip to my very first #HorrorReaderWeekend event - Horror on the Rappahannock May 2-4 in Fredericksburg, VA! Who else is going?
