As a big fan of asylum horror & indie publishers, I’m excited @rdspress.bsky.social has a new anthology up on Kickstarter. They’re halfway to their goal with a few days to go. I’m in. Pledge what you can, if you are too. Abandoned: Asylum, a horror anthology www.kickstarter.com/projects/902...

Just now. Lightening, but no thunder #VanderWild

How cool is this? Who wouldn't want to be immortalized by @lisamorton.bsky.social ? Someone better jump on this quick, or I might have to. This anthology has everything. I know you want it as badly as I do, so c'mon. Back this project today. All the stories are ready and waiting for YOU!

I love walking outside early in the morning and seeing these cute little raccoon footprints. #VanderWild

Once more my phone is lying to me. It wasn't supposed to start raining for an hour so I thought it would be safe to go to the grocery store. This is a STORM complete with lightening and thunder!

I'm off to see the Wizard. Be back soon. 😉

Happy to see people still loving on this anthology. ❤️❤️❤️

Hello, dear readers! Let me show you this incredible anthology edited by none other than the great @mothman13.bsky.social . You want this book. I know you do. And I most definitely want it. Just look at the fine list of contributors! Look at the art and visuals!

Once more into the breach. I hope I see a dog today (with thanks to my sister Jody Bordman Giles for this cool bag). (Note: I'm in remission, woo hoo! This is just for maintenance/prevention). #FuckCancer

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Monday! I'd like to draw your attention to this upcoming anthology edited by @mothman13.bsky.social Just take a look at the lineup of writers!!! This looks so cool and I can't wait to get my copy. Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/902...

I think they're lobbing pine cones at the house. 😬

The squirrels are surrounding the house! They're running back and forth on the roof. I can hear them whispering their diabolical plans to each other and chuckling. There's some serious attitude going on here. Will I ever be able to leave the house? #VanderWild (?)

Well, that's four roaches in my house so far since I returned from StokerCon. Luckily they were all deceased, except for this last one who was only playing dead! That certainly got my heart rate up. Oh, Florida! #VanderWild (?)

Seen this weekend in Pittsburgh on one of the bridges. Somehow I think this was meant for the Wildbirds International folks and not us Halloween people. 😁😉 #StokerCon

Last day of StokerCon. I'm uplifted by the people here. This was the right time for me to attend this conference. So many special moments. Someone gave me the TimTams and another person asked me what kind of spider I am. This one is perfect! #StokerCon

There is a Wild Birds Unlimited conference in this same hotel as StokerCon. How cool is that? I made a joke about THE BIRDS to one of the attendees in the elevator. Thankfully she laughed. #StokerCon #VanderWild

The view from my hotel room (idea stolen from @scottedelman.bsky.social, thanks!). Looks like it's going to be a wonderful day. #StokerCon

Hopeful Nihilism - gotta love it! 😁😎

Hello, my friends! I'm on my way to StokerCon. I'm excited. Here’s my schedule. Come see me!

Check out this new story by @benjaminpercy.bsky.social . You will love it!

Many have been pointing out how beautiful this cover is. I neglected to give props to Shauna McDonnell for the exquisite image and Francesca T. Barbini for the excellent cover design. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover! 😉 I can imagine people being drawn to pick it up in a bookstore.

Next week!!! New story by @benjaminpercy.bsky.social . Can't wait to share it with you.

Good morning and Happy Friday! I am thrilled to share this anthology with you: COLLECTIVE: THE COLLABORATIVE ART OF THE ANTHOLOGY

I'm having a blast with my family in The Netherlands. I've taken many photos but am too tired to post them all. So I leave you with this one perfect photo of a wild and imaginative door from Amsterdam.

Spending the day in Amsterdam. First stop: The American Book Center, of course. So happy to see THE RAINSEEKERS by @matthewkressel.net among so many of my favorite books.

Spa life (for baby Rowan❤️)

On The Turntable Now Still * Bright by Amythyst Kiah (2024) I finally had the opportunity to see this artist play in person at the Word of South Literary and Music Festival right here in Tallahassee.

Good morning #VanderWild

Tallahassee peeps (and anyone else who may be interested), I'm doing a thing tomorrow evening. Online and free. Register below. www.mobilize.us/democraticen...

Not only was I upgraded to 1st class, but the pilot gave me this. 😁 I must have done something good. 🍀 #blessed

Wow! I must have picked up some good karma. Got upgraded to 1st class. 😁

I'm sitting here in the airport on my way home from Mo*Con, after an extraordinary weekend. I love being with people who can challenge the way I think (in friendly and generous ways) and help me see the world from different perspectives. Not to mention all the creativity and inspiration!

I have an essay in this book. I'm very proud of it. Titled 'Curating Creativity.'

Don't you love walking into a bookstore, community center or someone's home and seeing so many familiar books on the bookshelves? It always makes me feel at home surrounded by good friends. 😁❤️📚 #books #amreading

My Key Lime pound cake looks like Florida. 😬 (I ate it all and it was yummy! 😋)

Hello, pretty birds, keeping cool in the birdbath. 😍 #VanderWild

Well, hello there, little fellow #VanderWild

Next stop on the Tallahassee Indie Bookstore Day Bookcrawl is Cascades Park where the Word of South Music and Literary Festival is being held. Lots of Indie booksellers here: Common Grounds Books Lovestory Book Co #IndieBookstoreDay #books

Happy Indie Bookstore Day! #IndieBookstoreDay #books #MidtownReader #Iamreading

Looking forward to digging into this book soon. The first time I met George Schaller, I was at Eric and Paulette's house. I was wearing my cat pajamas and heard a knock at the door. When I opened the door, there stood George. He said, "Who are you?" I replied, "Who are YOU?"

You guys!!! This is just from walking to the mailbox! Heard just now: Carolina Wren, Red-bellied Woodpecker, American Crow, Downy Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse and Northern Cardinal. Plus some cute dogs. 😁❤️ #VanderWild

Seen yesterday #VanderWild (?)

With the happy couple! My nephew Garrett and his beautiful bride Kaitlyn. Congratulations and Mazel Tov! 🎉🎊🥂

Seen and heard today: Black-crested Titmouse, Bewick's Wren, House Finch, Black-chinned Hummingbird. Also lizards and other creatures of the earth and sky. #VanderWild

Happy HAPPY Siblings Day to Judy Bordman Sarate , Jennifer Bordman Meek and Jody Bordman Giles . I will see you all TONIGHT! 🎉🥳😘 (Bonus addition of Jason Kennedy in these photos ❤️)

My incredibly generous and talented cousin Bruce made me some chopped liver by hand!!! No food processor. He had it shipped to me and it just arrived. How lucky am I?
