A spooky poem for Halloween based on the legend of New Orleans’ Casket Girls, sent by the king of France to balance the gender imbalance, they arrived ill, washed ashore in the dead of night. Stories of vampire activity quickly arose… #KofiCreativeVoice #poem #halloween #legend #writesky ##poetry

Working on book two of the Stone series and it’s kicking my butt! Actually, having an 8m/o and still working out a sitter situation so I can work a few days a week and trying my best not to have a major health flare while also writing a book and keeping the website going is kicking my butt…

The October #writingcontest theme is all things #spooky, #supernatural, #paranormal, #thriller, #horror or otherwise #halloween! #writesky #booksky #prose #poetry #webcomics #comics all welcome www.underground-bookshelf.com/2724306_octo...

I’ve featured lots of #prose and #poetry by indie #writers of all kinds (always looking for more 😁) but I’d love to feature some #webcomics, excerpts of #graphicnovels or #comics, #manga, or #essays that have to do with them. Please reach out or submit your work! www.underground-bookshelf.com

Romance Writers Networking Meeting. Join us! Bonjour, September 29. 7pmEST. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi... #amwriting #writingcommunity #ottawa

The event I went to today was cut super short due to inclement weather. I still managed to get books in the hands of readers, but definitely did not make back the cost of attending. If you can #buymeacoffee by any chance, I’d truly appreciate it. #booksky #books #reading ko-fi.com/lauraundergr...

Great tip!

Lighting, washouts, torrential downpours, and a tornado later…Pride Worcester got shut down after only an hour and a half. Looked forward to bringing the secondhand bookshelf there for months, so disappointed it was cut short, but glad a handful of people came by for books before the storm hit.

I’m awful at remembering to share what’s going on - which has been a lot from great LGTBQ short memoir and poetry, author Q&As, essays by disabled authors, and resources on fiction and children’s books featuring activism. #booksky #writesky #disabilitysky #queersky www.underground-bookshelf.com

The prolific author, Joey Paul has been gracious enough to allow me to reprint a few posts from her “Spoonie Writer” series! In this one, she discusses ignoring certain types of common advice as a disabled writer. www.underground-bookshelf.com/2623932_spoo... #disabilitysky #writesky #booksky

Finally! The first Q&A of the Disabled Author Series is posted! Meet Eden Gruger, a writer who also shares her expertise with others in the community. She is a font of wisdom! www.underground-bookshelf.com/2623884_disa... #disabled #chronicallyill #author #writer #writesky #booksky #disabilitysky

I feel like this book deserves more attention. It contains a host of great stories, along with my "A Tall, Thin House," about a mom turning her back on her faith to resurrect her dead son. Also, it's for a good cause. #HorrorWritersChat
