You read that right, lovelies! ALL books are on sale for #Newyears! Sale runs from Dec 31st - Jan 2nd (Midnight CST) All ebooks are $2.99 and all paperbacks and hardcovers are discounted $2.00 shadowsparkpub.com #booksky #writesky 📚 🪐 💙

I spent the morning thinking about a lot of the indie bookstores that I love and wanted to ask you to possibly do the same. What are your favorite bookstores? Where can you preorder your 2026 books from? Here are some of mine: bit.ly/3L99iKM

Hi, friends. It's that lovely time of year when my publisher @shadowsparkpub.bsky.social hosts their NYE sale. All of their titles (including my SIX books) are $2.00 off (paperbacks & ebooks). Please check out the entire sale via SSP's website or by looking me up on Amazon. Happy New Year!

We all read some bad books this year. I didn’t finish some and had to write negative reviews here and there. However, what I really want to hear about is the stuff that blew your mind, that made you think, that stayed with you. Tell me about the cool books you loved this year.

Gift cards to spend? Get BUOYGEIST (or any of my books) on Amazon, B & N, and other places awesome horror is sold. Time to head back to 1988. A video rental store, a drive-in, and a harpoon/chainsaw duel. Pretty much everything you could possibly need to ring in the New Year.

Feeling festive 🎄

Today's the perfect day to support writers, artists, creators. If you're looking to shop for people during the holiday season, why not buy a book, commission an art piece, purchase an indie game, order some handmade jewelry? Your help means everything.

Enjoy the day, friends. 🦃

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

It's been 35 years since Tim Curry spawned a massive wave of coulrophobia and we fell in love with the Losers who defeated Pennywise. Let's head back to Derry to celebrate.

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care? You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.
