Just finished the movie Opus from A24. I enjoyed it. Something different with a very neat twist at the end.

I love that my snowball stand has a shark week themed snowball. For those not familiar snowballs it’s basically crushed ice and flavor syrup mixed together. There is also the snowball parfait, which is what I described above with layers of liquid marshmallow mixed in.

From Black Sabbath to today, so many #Ozzy songs spoke to me. The voice of the outsider, the wanderer, struggling to make sense of the world, regretting, fighting against demons. His songs brought joy, reflection, and some painful memories. My life was & is better with his art in it. #RIPOzzy

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) writer of hard-boiled detective fiction. "Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and..is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to." #booksky #writingcommunity #authors

As a writer, and struggling reader, I make reading is a habit. I really treasure books that I enjoy. Here's one of those books that I picked up at #Stokercon2025 from Andrew Katz. Check out: Vampire Gideon's Suicide Hotline. Enjoying it very much. Hits hard in dialog between Gideon & the callers.

Good news: every clumsy embarrassing fumble forward counts towards writing

Hanging out in #nyc this week for a bit before a stop in #philly and then back home. Getting tons of writing done. Almost done 13, and a few shorts like The Hunger, and Jessica Can’t Take A Joke. Fun times! Here are some #Cthulhu stuffies to brighten your day. #horrorwriters #writersky

Yeah this my writing vibe today. I’m in New York writing and was at an American Revolution museum yesterday. Perhaps it is the Hamilton musical in my soul too. I grew up raging against the machine. No sense stopping now. music.apple.com/us/album/sta...

At the #ALA I saw this shirt and had to get a pic! I think I’d be banned but I’m still trying to make sure. 🩸📚💙

Hi everyone! I'm based in Maryland and focus on cosmic horror with a folk horror vibe (small towns, dark secrets/family secrets). I'm not a full time writer yet but growing into it. My day job is a techie and dad-cab getting my kids to wherever they need to be whenever they need to be there.

Well, looks like I'm heading to #ALA2025 in Philly on Saturday! Anyone else gonna be there in my feed? Want to grab a bluesky connection coffee? It's like a regular coffee / tea but connecting with each other IRL instead of just bluesky. #writersky #booksky 🩸📚💙 #authorsky

Tonight's writing brought to you by MINISTRY! Specifically Psalm 69 and Just One Fix. I also like to work in Focus > Immersive Reader mode on my mac. It helps me focus and not do this--posting / doomscrolling. Although I guess it isn't working so great right now. #writersky #booksky 🩸📚💙

Yep, we're doing this! From my latest story: 13. I'm in early drafting and just want to jump ahead so "stuff happens". Tim, do you write everything in order? Well, usually. Sometimes I just like to get to the fun stuff. #booksky #authorsky 🩸📚 #horrorwriters Anyone else do this (sometimes)?

This makes my heart sing. I was telling a bunch of people about this at #stokercon and everyone was super fascinated by it. Keep living mas!

I’m really excited for #StokerCon! This will be my first trip to the con. Any recommendations on must not miss activities?

I love when authors post their playlist. I’ll need to do this with my next book…whenever that might come out 🫣

I love me some cute #Spiderman figures! And even better it’s from one of the best movies ever made…yeah I said that and stand by it. Across the Spiderverse is a masterpiece of cinema, storytelling, and soundtrack. it deserved the Oscar. Well, #Nimona was also amazing.

No I didn’t get a #switch2 but I did get this Super hat. When I wore it today everyone asked if I got a switch2. Sadly, no. Do I want a Switch 2? Yes! Why? Because Ninetendo is awesome. But I don’t know anything else about it.

Hershey and I out for a walk by the playhouse that inspired my story THE PLAYHOUSE. don’t worry Hershey, we won’t go in. 🐶

Wow! Trying out #openvibe. Very excited to pull all these socials together.

This giant ring was the inspiration for the store in my book EXCESS BAGGAGE. This is from a jewelry store in Baltimore, MD. The layout and design of the store in my book is all based on this store…but to my knowledge no one got melted in the real store. Anyone know this store? Tag them if you do!

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social #WriterSky #BookSky #KidLit

Working through updates to my backlist. New covers. New descriptions. New ads. Can’t wait to share the goodies with you. Here’s a preview of what’s coming for books like PASSAGES! a.co/d/58FPfZB

It's my birthday! I'm 44. Instead of getting gifts I'm trying to fundraise for World Central Kitchen. If you have an extra couple of bucks I'd appreciate the help in reaching my goal. 🎂 donate.wck.org/fundraiser/6...

I'm testing out @elevenlabs.io reader for my short novella EARLY BIRDS PAY DOUBLE. The ebook is available on my website but I wanted to share this audio version with you here. What do you think: elevenreader.io/app/reader/a... I really like the voice! 🩸📚💙

Ha! Interesting critique of a poem I wrote called "The Hangman's Release" This poem is: Brutal Beautifully filthy Politically and emotionally loaded Visually stunning

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. If you don’t celebrate Easter I hope you have a wonderful day of food, family, and friends. Easter for me over the past decade has been a time I’ve really loved at my church. Kids have passed from being egg finders to being the egg hiders. How time flies…

I am a bit late on this one, but I was interviewed on a podcast last month called User Friendly 2.0. My interview starts 11:30 into the episode. I talk about my fiction and a little about my work in physics. I hope you enjoy it. #scifi #WriteSky player.captivate.fm/episode/dc6e...

So awesome! If I’m ever passing through I’ll be sure to share pics. This place sounds awesome.

Just read Dystopian Dust by Bruce Boston. Wow! A little too on point for modern times. In preparation for submitting some horror, poetry to the Horror Writers Association I’ve been reading a lot of horror poets. this poem hit really hard. Check it out. 🩸📚💙

An oldie but a goodie! #HappyEaster :)

just read this critique about my writing & I can't stop smiling! Consistency isn't for me. "It’s as if each tale finds its own voice: one might read like a campfire legend, another like a folk ballad, another like a feverish confession." Feverish confessions and campfire legends..yes please! ❤️🩸📚💙

I've been working on some #horror #poetry for the HWA poetry submission. Anyone have any #horrorpoetry they recommend? I'd really love to see some novels-in-verse or poets other than Poe and Robert E. Howard. I've been exploring Bruce Boston and Christina Sng. Recommendations? 🩸📚💙 Thanks!

Everything I needed to know I learned from D&D.

I’d encourage #werewolf fans to also check out the stories of James Kaine and his book My Pet Werewolf. 🩸📚💙

Maryland event!!! I’m looking forward to this conversation.

Tonight's writing brought to you by @dropkickmurphys.com ! Writing about drinks, bars, and being forgotten by the world (literally). Specifically listening to SIGNED & SEALED IN BLOOD. I'll share the tale on my newsletter in the coming weeks. 🩸📚💙

Just finished EATERS OF THE DEAD by Michael Crichton. I enjoyed it and my favorite part was last chapter where the story about the story is discussed. That chapter talks about how the story was inspired and the creative process to build the tale. I ❤️ behind the scenes stuff from authors.

My readers know, I'm a major @dndbeyond.bsky.social nerd. This weekend I'm playing with Project Sigil. I LOVE IT!!!! I'm building the haunted house in Ghosts of Saltmarsh. So easy, so fun. Can't wait to play with my family. #ProjectSigil #Sigilmaps #Sigilcreator Building in Sigil? Say hi!

When writing scary stuff, I like to sit in a dark room, maybe have a candle going, and listen to creepy music. I feel it helps me freak myself out more and that helps me remember what it's like to be scared. Hopefully that translates into my writing 😀 🩸📚💙 Probably not good for my anxiety tho. 😂

Inspired by others here, I thought I'd take a stab at listing my interests too: 📖Books: horror, fantasy, business 📽️ Movies: horror, adventure, comic books (yes…) 🎶Music: Metal, Viking chanting 🏟️Sport: no thanks 🧘🏽Leisure: writing, painting, movies 👷🏽Job: Tech Consultant Pleased to meet you!

I don’t always get a day away but when I do I like to start it with a mimosa. But I always forget that I don’t actually like mimosas. So I’ll just enjoy this Diet Coke. Next stop bookstore!!!

Early Readers just got a preview of the cover for my new book GOOD TEENS DIE BAD. Inspired by TUCKER & DALE vs. EVIL, and CABIN IN THE WOODS, & my general love of hilariously absurd 80s slasher movies. I can't wait to share it with you all here when the pre-order date gets set. Stay tuned! 💙📚🩸📚

Hey everybody, I am looking for some reads that are dark fantasy horror stories that I can use as mentor text as I am preparing to submit to a new publication. Think stories like Robert E. Howard’s tales, Fairy Tale by Stephen King, etc… Any recommendations? 💙📚🪐📚🧙‍♂️📚🩸📚 Thanks!
