I needed a comfort read so i finally picked this book off my shelf and 16 pages in I’m tearing up because i didn’t realize how much i missed Schmendrick and Molly Grue. ❤️💔

Happy one year book birthday to my queer, feminist, found family, unconventional love story historical fiction debut novel, LADY. amzn.to/3IivMHO

I’m grasping at threads of human decency at this point. Stories of basic kindness are making me cry.

I know there are some great presses that specialize in this. This is the author you want.

Epic Evening at Vampa, celebrating the release of VAMPIRE HUNTERS. Special thanks to the contributing authors who came out to celebrate with us! Lee Meeder, @acwise.bsky.social @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social @dirtyrottenbill.bsky.social and to Megan at Vampa for making this a book release to remember!

the VAMPIRE HUNTERS Release celebration at Vampa on Saturday truly slayed.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Beautiful day at Vampa

Tomorrow!

Me and my contributor copy of the Vampire Hunters anthology! Join us this Saturday the 13th at 5pm for the official release party at--where else?--Vampa, the vampire museum! I seriously can't believe I'll be hanging out at a vampire museum this weekend. Goth bucket list item checked off! 🦇🦇🦇

When I forget why I opened a cabinet or walked into a room, I don't retrace my steps, I try to retrace my thoughts. I was singing "Golden" in my head, thinking about calling River later, over at the counter where I was...making a sandwich! Yes! I opened the pantry to look for bread! ADHD life

So I put off writing a synopsis for three months and apparently it didn't just write itself in that time, so that's really disappointing.

just a ridiculous amount of vampiring going on here.

This book is why I am a historian (possibly). Printed in 1989, it is full of absolute bollocks. I love it

Our Celebration is free and will take place outside on the beautiful grounds of the property from 12-4, and then move into the very creepy Vampire Sanctuary (with a real antique vampire coffin) at 5:00 for readings, refreshments, signing and mingling. This is going to be so fun.

Vampires have existed through out history, and so have those who hunt them. Their accounts are available in VAMPIRE HUNTERS: AN INCOMPLETE RECORD OF PERSONAL ACCOUNTS, now featured in the featured in the @ibpalovesindies Fall 2025 Bookstore Catalog! #indiehorror #spookyreads

There's this really insidious way I've seen older generations knock people down a peg. When someone shares an accomplishment they're excited about, the older person will not respond to that, but instead ask about something else that the younger person hasn't accomplished yet. Don't do that. Ew.

The horrors! They are too…much like the author wrote them?

It is time to announce the semifinalists for the Small Spec Book Awards. Thank you to our readers, who worked diligently to assign ratings to all books. The competition was close. Authors, we hope you are proud of your stories because we are. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Peter S. Beagle I will love you until the day I die

kids first day back to school and I'm finally home alone. Do I deep clean the bathrooms, finish novel edits or practice some light witchcraft? It's gotta be scheduled around meetings at 12 and 5.

This Celebration is coming up! September 13th, a day at the beautiful Vampa property, and an evening in the Vampire Sanctuary with 6 contributing authors, live readings, refreshments and more! The celebration is free!

I have to cut 5k words from one manuscript and add 10k words to another one and I wish I didn't have to make each word individually, custom each time for every book and I could just shift them around like bricks or something.

I started Interview with the Vampire and it is SO well done. The source material is some of the most brilliant storytelling in the world I was worried it would corrupt it but this series enhances the story in a way I haven’t seen before.

Shipping books internationally in the US: a Cautionary Tale This past Friday, my wife went down to our local post office (NE #Ohio) to ship a couple of our book orders (I write lots of books, mainly on paranormal topics like ghosts) One was headed to the UK (1/??)

The time to do something more than a strongly worded letter was five months ago. If the democratic party wants to even pretend to be for the people they represent they need to save the flaccid rebukes and patronizing assurances and do their fucking jobs.

We're less than a year in.

had to post this on our Instagram earlier tonight after a bunch of people freaked out about our chalkboard sign so thought we would share here too 😘

Brilliant

To all the “strong willed children” out there, I see you. We can outlast them all.

Years ago, when my cat died of old age, my boyfriend said "Anything you need, just ask" I asked if he'd go with me to get a tattoo for my cat and he said I would regret such a stupid tattoo. I went with a friend instead. Moral of the story is that I still love that tattoo and I regret the boyfriend.

The difference between a profession and a casual interaction with me is whether I say great or rad after I affirm, "Okay."

I’ve gotten totally sucked into the Billy Joel documentary and it’s so powerful. Despite his absolute genius Billy feels like a favorite uncle you never got to know as well as you like. His story is relatable and powerful and he feels like an innately good person.

A lot of folks replying to this saying there are too many books already and no one wants to read their stories. To which I say, neither is true. But if that’s your attitude toward writing, then yeah, it’s good you’re not pursuing it.

At the Warminster Library Author Fair with my books and brand new copies of VAMPIRE HUNTERS

every time @speculationpub.bsky.social has a book release, the week after my workload dramatically decreases and I think I'm gonna have all kinds of time for my own writing and then I spend the whole week redesigning my shelves and doom scrolling instead.

This is just the alternative to my RBF

Lookit, am I saying Happy Gilmore 2 is one of my favorite movies this year? Yes. But am I say it’s even better than the first? also yes. And I love Adam Sandler movies so back off.

First time watching South Park in years. Long Reign the Kings.

Taming Monsters new podcast, with @speculationpub.bsky.social editor, @rivertheauthor.bsky.social , discusses Vampires, Creativity, and how to Slay at writing: rss.com/podcasts/tam...

This new anthology includes some stories from some of my favorite horror writers. I just picked up my copy!

We celebrated release day of VAMPIRE HUNTERS kicking around the Vampa museum, planning a release party that is going to slay. Happy #releaseday to @speculationpub.bsky.social
