Ahh, today is the cover reveal of the new and improved DARLING! Preorders are open and a gift is included!

So for you little gorehounds... TW for talk of blood and eyes. I'm hemorrhaging in both of my eyes. We thought we'd handled it with cauterization and injections, but no. Monday I go in to get injections in BOTH EYES at the same time and I'm tapping out of life for the rest of the day. #horror

This will be so much fun! <3

This is a great roundup with extra links to personal reviews. I'm so delighted that Love is a Crematorium received a mention!

This was a staple for us. I remember sitting in our Seattle apartment with our friends, eating pizza and holding tiny Niko on our laps. We thought some things were definitely mean, but man, have we come a LONG WAY in the last 20 years! I remember every single incident they talk about on this show.

We put our house on the market a few hours ago and already had five showings. I'm so happy and sad! We're feeling some Big Feelings. Want to see where three Bram Stoker Award-winning works were written? Where I baked cookies? Where we roller-skated indoors? www.zillow.com/homedetails/...?

Saw Garbage on Halloween and it was more than I could have hoped for! After Shirley performed in costume, the entire band came out dressed as octopuses for the encore. Dreams were made and realized this night! ❤️

What's up?

I'm so happy to be a part of this! It's so important. ❤️

Miss Murder literally worked herself to death.

Will you be in Vegas this weekend? Come see me at the Nightmare in Vegas horror convention and classic car show! I'll be working the Women in Horror booth. <3

This includes one of my favorite novellas ever, "The Witches of Paradise." This is a great anthology!

Ah, it's my time of year. <3

The responsibility lies heavy, but I am up to the task.

My friend sent me this picture and said, "It's your one-year anniversary of wearing this to the party!" And you know, she's right.

Just...making weird, random things for no reason except joy. <3

Spooky season? In our house, Halloween never ends.

The Internet asked me if I wanted this old doll, please, and I do not. The second the picture came up, our dog began levitating, the house bled from the walls, and frogs and fire fell from the sky. Me: Why am I hearing chanting from the basement? Oh, that's why.

Ooh, look what showed up! My box of Fractured Reveries, which includes my story "Love Songs for the End of the World." Carina Bissett knocked it out of the park. This book is beautiful! #amwriting #writingcommunity #fantasy

I'm an invasive bookworm in-game, too! #fieldsofmistria #videogames

Fractured Reveries includes my "Love Stories for the End of the World." Available now! tinyurl.com/yc3dbm2z
