I can’t possibly do justice to how special last night’s VEIL launch event was at Second Flight Books, so I’ll just say this: There were two packed rooms, plus tons of folks standing. The crowd was full of amazing, kind, brilliant people. I’m so thankful for every one of them!

Daniel knows what’s up!

The VEIL Launch Party was magical. MAGICAL. I will share pictures soon. For now, I'm just basking in the afterglow.

Come join us at 6:30 this evening at Second Flight Books for a quick VEIL reading, Q&A, and book signing. If you want to skip the reading, you can just drop by between 7:00 and 7:45 to say hello and grab a signed book!

Amazing new @booktrib.bsky.social review of VEIL: booktrib.com/2025/09/19/v...

Beautiful new five-star VEIL review!

Tonight, friends! If you're within a few hours of Lafayette, Indiana, join us at Second Flight Books at 6:30 for the official VEIL launch party. It'll actually be very casual. Ten or fifteen minutes of a reading, a quick Q&A, and then I'll sign books. I hope to see you there!

Sat down with @annarosereads.bsky.social to talk about VEIL, “Lenora,” and so much more. Anna did an amazing job, so I hope you check it out! open.spotify.com/episode/4kIu...

Here it is, the NBC (WTHR Indianapolis) segment about my double life as a teacher and an author. HUGE thanks to Emmy-winning anchor Dustin Grove for doing such an incredible job! @blackstonepub.bsky.social @briankeene.bsky.social @cgolden.bsky.social www.wthr.com/video/news/l...

Come listen to Anna and me talk about VEIL, “Lenora,” and so much more!

NBC Indianapolis (WTHR) is airing a segment on me at 4:00 ET today. It will be available on their website later, but in the link, you'll find the article that goes with it. Oh, and that's my horror-loving daughter at the bottom of the screen! www.wthr.com/article/news...

(I got the Seinfeld reference too 😁) I haven't listened to many audio books recently since I'm not commuting, but the snippets I've heard of the VEIL narration are excellent! My spoiler-free review of this amazing, action packed scifi/horror/thriller is here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Surreal (but nice) moment today: I got invited to be on the inaugural episode of LIFE ON THE WABASH, our area’s first local lifestyle show (it’ll air at 9 AM Saturday morning on NBC16 and YouTube). It was filmed at Purdue, where I used to be a student. 😎

Maybe this is weird or immodest, but…I’ve been listening to the audiobook of VEIL, and it’s *breathtaking.* Not breathtaking like the unattractive baby in that episode of SEINFELD, but legitimately breathtaking. John Pirhalla has done something extraordinary with this narration!

I love this set.

😍

VEIL Release Day was magical. Thank you to EVERYONE who bought, posted about, or spread the word about VEIL. If you could continue to talk about it and leave reviews, that will continue the tidal wave of glowing vibes. The pics are of the release day party my wife threw me!

Alma knows. She also had a book release yesterday called FIEND that I hear is terrific and is at the very top of my tbr!

“There goes Roy Hobbs. The best there ever was.”

I had an absolute blast talking VEIL on Horrifically Well-Read, Bled, & Said. open.spotify.com/episode/4w9o...

New interview with me courtesy of Jason White. In it we talk about VEIL, “Lenora,” and so much more. youtu.be/ADvP1usjhi0?...

Not even kidding. I bought the VEIL audiobook to listen to while I grade papers at lunch, and narrator John Pirhalla made me cry by the third chapter. You’ve GOT to hear this audiobook. It’s incredible. John was born to narrate this novel.

Awesome new VEIL review!

Love this so much.

❤️
