Just a little bit at a time. Just tiny steps. Just keep going.

Happy #MiddleGradeMonday! I write MG horror! And I’ll be at Barnes & Noble in Schererville, IN Saturday (July 11) from 2-5 with fellow HWA Chicagoland friends. We’ll be signing books and chatting with everyone about how awesome horror is! Let’s talk about your favorite middle grade horror books!

“Things would be okay. Maybe not perfect, not all the time. But okay. It would be right. And that was all I really wanted.” THE LONELIEST PLACE By @lorasenf.bsky.social BIG SIGH Love you, Evie and Bird and Aunt D and Lark and Gray and Lily and EVERYONE. A grand adventure. One wrapped in love

Happy 4th! A couple old American tractors that were used on an old American farm. I believe in America. I believe we can heal and grow and find our way to peace and acceptance for all. We have to get past the hate. Get past the anger and fear. But we can because OUR PEOPLE ARE STRONG!

In one week the Barnes & Noble in Schererville, IN is having a horror fest! I’ll be there with other Chicagoland HWA authors signing and ready to find horror lovers! I’ll have my middle grade books and swag!

Cute puppy is cute. Oz is 4 months old now!

I used to dream of being an illustrator. But instead I started writing. But I still like to have fun drawing, so i created each of my books in The Nowhere Series their own bookmark. I sell these at events and sometimes just give them away! Have you been Into the Gray with Ember?

Well…after months of brainstorming and questioning and doubting my ability to do this writing thing… I have written new words. For a new MG horror inspired by The Shining. I’m scared. And excited. And gonna do my best to JUST HAVE FUN!

There's a million "right" ways to write your ms. Just find YOUR "right" way and go go go! Perfection doesn't exist. It's YOUR ms, not everyone else's. When you're done, listen to what works and what doesn't for the reader...not for what THEY want to happen. The world needs YOUR stories.

I have written words two days in a row now. Not a lot of words... BUT THIS IS THE FIRST NEW THING I'VE WRITTEN IN MONTHS. A new MG horror...inspired by The Shining...shall be drafted this year.

Know some kids who need a creepy little story...or 2? Bite-Sized Frights offers my story "CAROUSEL" and a bonus story "WONDERLAND ROAD"! 📚🩸 www.amazon.com/Carousel-Bit...

Sometimes... just when you start to drown in darkness... The Universe gives you a bit of light.

Happy #MiddleGradeMonday! Here with a tale of making choices, whether good or scary or not so safe, because we have to choose to move forward. We have to become who we need to be. THE NIGHTHOUSE KEEPER By @lorasenf.bsky.social And my goodness I love Portia!!! So creepy.

Happy #MiddleGradeMonday! Don’t let fear control you. Believe in yourself. THE CLACKITY By @lorasenf.bsky.social Man, The Clackity is sooooooo creepy!

I saw my daughter at work yesterday...her co-worker sees me and says "OH YOUR THE FAMOUS AUTHOR!" Me: *panics* Not famous...nope.

“I understood then what awe really was and what it felt like to suddenly encounter something so big and beautiful and impossible that your heart froze and swelled at the same time…” THE NIGHTHOUSE KEEPER By @lorasenf.bsky.social We all have moments in life that change us.

When you gaslight yourself into believing that you DID NOT in fact sub to that press... Then you go onto the submission site and find that YOU DID SUB And now you live in a world of terror where you could get a rejection at any moment.

When you get home from #StokerCon and realize you didn't get to hang out with a million people you wanted to meet or see...but also... You hung out with a million people you wanted to meet or see.

Once again...I had a great time at #StokerCon! I did a reading. I was on my first panel. I talked to all sorts of people. I hung out with my friends I get to see once or twice a year. I miss everyone so much.

#MuppetMonday after #StokerCon

Everyone else: LOOK AT MY PICS OF ME AND ALL MY FRIENDS AT STOKERCON! Me: LOOK AT THIS WEIRD PIC I NEEDED TO TAKE OF ME IN THE ELEVATOR! THERE WERE MIRRORS ON THE CEILING

Me looking at all the pics of all the lovely people at StokerCon…and realizing I have zero. As usual … Taking pics is hard. Apparently. Trying to do better today.

Okay... I could get onboard #TeamWendigo But... #TeamMurderUnicorn ...

Happy Middle Grade Monday! Well…StokerCon is this weekend. RIDE OR DIE by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR by @ellenoh.bsky.social MYSTERY JAMES DIGS HER OWN GRAVE by Ally Russell BROKEN DOLLS by @allymalinenko.bsky.social THE GIRL IN THE WALLS by @medenkuyatt.bsky.social

Starting to gather all my wits to head to STOKERCON!!!!!! I will be dressed as a 12yo...I will be drinking water...I might have a fan out to cool my poor hot-flashing self... If you see me and call my name I will stop and be shocked that anyone knows me... BUT will be thrilled to say hi back!

COVER REVEAL A young woman pulled from a bog. An office worker straying from routine. An author making deals in the dark. Death comes for everyone, but never strikes the same way twice. In these ten tales, it wears many faces, turns homes into haunted places, and often, it is only the beginning.

Getting to the end…what a great story…but this line hit me… “Because I’m not going to live afraid. I have to go back in. And you should too.” Don’t live afraid. THE CLACKITY By @lorasenf.bsky.social

I LOVE THE HOUSES I am so enjoying THE CLACKITY by @lorasenf.bsky.social AGAIN.
