"We Interrupt This Program"--funny, pop culture, for anyone who has a story in their soul--is out next week! 🌟Order now --> geni.us/weinterrupt AND if you repost/comment below (first 20 ppl) I'll get you a FREE e-copy of my "Tune in Tomorrow" novel (same universe/"funny as hell")! Do eeeet now!

Quick reminder that if you want to find me this weekend, I'll be sellin' books and showin' up on panels! Here's all the intel -- see you at #LICH!

I can promise a return of ... the WEREPANTHER! Her name is Emma and she likes polka dots. And killing.

20 years ago in 2006 (gasp!) the Academy Awards handed "Crash" the best picture win, a move so shocking presenter Jack Nicholson was even shocked. ("Whoa!") Go back in time with me with my @latimes.com Envelope piece and remember the #Oscars from two decades ago... www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

1 WEEK until my funny pop culture fantasy in a magical cozy mystery town "We Interrupt This Program" interrupts your, well, programming! 📺📚👀 So go back to where it all started with "Tune in Tomorrow"! (Both are standalones.) "Tune" is now only 99c as an eBook! 😍 www.amazon.com/Tune-Tomorro...

I made a friend. Literally. Now, what should I name them? Puns are WELCOMED. #Blizzard2026

So many great names coming to BBB in 2026! Check 'em out!

This really is a great picture:

So sad I won't be here for this, but @amygoldschlager.bsky.social will be in charge -- and she's awesome! Mark your calendars now!

A GREAT night! Thanks, @randeedawn.com, you're such a great host! Thanks to the fierce talents I was so honored to read with! What an audience! Grateful for your support of AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC & my Subterranean section detailing my haunted experiences in the Wabasha Street Caves of St. Paul, MN 🖤

To free her love, Winnie's gonna have to write something that really, really hurts. But can she finish before her TROPE Town crumbles to dust? My "hilarious but heartfelt" "We Interrupt This Program" (part of the "Tune"-iverse!) is out on 3/3! 📚👀😅😍🔮 Pre-order now! randeedawn.com/books/we-int...

Such a great night!

Wow.

I'm gonna have a story in here! Let's get into the world of Emma, the werepanther I first wrote about in "Tune in Tomorrow" -- which will be in this anthology!

I guarantee you there's not one reporter worth their salt who'd MUCH RATHER be writing their OWN REPORTING than "meeting sources for coffee." Publications that swap critical aspects of journalism for AI-regurgitated, resource draining @$#!% are no longer newspapers anyone should care about.

It's hard out here for a pimp, but it wasn't hard at the 2006 #Oscars, where the song won an Academy Award! Find out all the other trippy stuff that happened 20 years ago in my new piece (2 of 3) focusing on some of the lesser-known categories at film's biggest night! www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

TOMORROW, NYC! COME CHECK US OUT! I AM READING WITH THE COOLEST PEOPLE! 🤩

LICH (the Long Island Convention of Horror) is coming your way, and I am on board! I'll have a table and a few panels, including one with MY HORRIFICALLY LOVELY HUSBAND, so do come out to Hauppauge Feb. 27-March 1 and say "boo!" or "hello," whatever you prefer! 😱📚👻 More info: lichlive.com

Late, but finally present: My 2025 No Judgment List of Books I Read last year! True, I don't judge -- but I'll say I did enjoy all of these. Might you find your next favorite book in the list? Check it out -- and make recommendations for my 2026 list, please! 📚👀 randeedawn.com/2-16-26-the-...

TOMORROW NIGHT!

Just so you know, authors aren't the only ones being inundated by these kinds of "opportunity" AI/Spam/Junk emails. Either that, or I neglected to note that I'm transitioning into cybersecurity. Bonus: No, there is no signature or name after "Best Regards"

@boskone.bsky.social you were one of the best ways to spend Valentine's Day weekend. You have my ❤️‍🔥. 🌟😍📖🎙️

A quick reminder for all you cool cats and foxes attending @boskone.bsky.social that you have TWO chances to hear me read today: 1pm (solo) & a 2-parter with Broad Universe (7pm)! There will be chocolate! And tea! And WORDS!

I’ll be there with a table and books and panels and a reading… it’ll be horrifying and awesome!

Can't wait!

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

"What if the AI hype is correct?" IDC. I don't want it, I won't use it, and you can't make me be happy about it. My grandparents lived their lives without computers, vcrs, or any music device newer than an 8 track. Not cuz they thought these were bad but because THEY, PERSONALLY, didn't want it.

LESS THAN ONE WEEK AWAY! 🌟 Don't miss out on the next BBB @ Barrow's reading Tuesday, 2/17 @ 7pm with authors @leannareneehieber.bsky.social @victormanibo.com #ShvetaThakrar & @fondalee.bsky.social ! We've also got a Gothic Strangely Delicious drink! Join us! 📚🎙️🧉👀 More: BrooklynBooksBooze.com

My new, funny, upcoming novel "We Interrupt This Program" started off about a fae-created town to film humans solving cozy mysteries & grew into a tale about telling our most difficult truths. Have you written a story that took on bigger significance *as* you were writing it? 📚👀 #fantasy #TV #cozy

Aw, I still miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. Here's a flashback piece I wrote for the @latimes.com that takes us back to 2006, the year he -- and three other first-time Oscar nominees -- won their Academy Awards. Twenty years ago. Who could believe it? www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Fellow author and afternoon tea love @randeedawn.com took our books out for tea today! Because they are very good books and pair well with scones.

The adult version of the marshmallow test: arriving early for afternoon tea, being served a sample shot of hot chocolate, having your mind blown, then not drinking your friend’s sample, which will undoubtedly be cold by the time she arrives. I am a saint, y’all ☕️

Yummy AND gothic!

@locusmag.bsky.social has kindly included coverage of December's BBB with @kradec.bsky.social @csecooney.bsky.social @davidgerrold.bsky.social & #GeorgiaDay ! Thanks @amygoldschlager.bsky.social for the pic! Next BBB: 2/17 More at: BrooklynBooksBooze.com locusmag.com/feature/phot...

In light of recent mass media treating AI "writers" like they're actually writing, or doing anything other than feeding off of stolen valor, BBB wants to restate our policy of NOT platforming AI-based writing or art. Chuck Wendig also has choice thoughts as well: terribleminds.com/ramble/2026/...
