No better way to spend an evening before trivia. It's one hell of a retro horror read, @patrickbarb.bsky.social & @shortwavebooks.bsky.social! #horrorbooks

Anyone in #Vancouver Washington, #Skamania County, and #Klickitat county who cares about #informationliteracy and the myriad of resources offered by @fvrlibraries.bsky.social in these troubled times can share this information far and wide. Use the cost calculator at fvrl.org, see how it matters.

John Sauer sounds like a Dalek.

Big thanks to @gravesidepress.bsky.social for giving my story "The Rotter" a home in GRADEside Stories. Here's a pic of the real place that inspired it. Yes, we did go sledding in a graveyard...what could go wrong...

Shoutout to @vintagebookshop.bsky.social, best damn bookshop in Vancouver, WA. Happy #independentbookstoreday

Here is a picture of me at a book signing last weekend. I had a really good time. #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub

Prepping for my first Pathfinder event at my library, pouring over texts like a crusty wizard. Things they don't teach in Library School...

Well, that's the final (for now, who are we kidding??) edit done. Fly away now, little story. Fly away and find a new home! #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

Tonight: 2nd draft done and printed. Tomorrow? Me, my story, a few pencils, and that coffee. #amwriting #amediting

Well, my fellow Vancouverites, that was one humdinger of a snowstorm wasn't it?

A little step-by-step.

Can't pick a better reading spot. Let's go! #booksky #horror @gravesidepress.bsky.social

Coworker today: "Yeah, Elon's gonna take us to Mars!" Me: "Oh. Is that what he was pointing at?" Blessed silence.

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

I mean this in all due disrespect, Copilot (and I know we just met), fuck off.

Gonna put on The Straight Story tonight and cry more than usual.

They give you one these bad boys FREE on your birthday. Thanks, Tap Union!

#booksky and #horrorbook folk, a heads-up if you need an anthology for your TBR pile!

The anthology podcast from @weirdxmas.bsky.social is here! There is some truly weird stuff this year. My tale, "Countdown to Christmas" is just one of them. Go check it out, share the weird, enjoy!

And the undead keep coming! Bite: A Vampiric Anthology is out! Have a drink, crack that sucker open, and check out my story "A Disease of the Blood" if you feel like dipping back into the Dracula universe. Enjoy! Thanks @gravesidepress.bsky.social graveside-press.com/product/bite/

Just edited/once-overed a Christmas story I've been trying to publish for a while. Submitted it to an anthology just under the wire. Here's hoping this is the right version this time!

Who wouldn't...bite...at this premise? *Cryptkeeper laugh*

Come on, Washington state...

Something...is coming... The Bite Anthology from @gravesidepress.bsky.social that is! My story, "A Disease of the Blood" was lucky enough to be included with many great stories. Excited for you all to read this one! #booksky #horror

About 32 years back, lil John thought it was "Frankenstein and Mhyrr" and so he stays. However/whatever you celebrate, hope you have a lovely, peaceful morning.

A sign of growing up into adulthood: this scene from Home Alone is scarier than Old Man Marley.

How it feels finding your social media folks on a new platform again: @gravesidepress.bsky.social @patrickbarb.bsky.social youtu.be/DyfpEP_CCDE?...
