Happy Pub Day to WHISPERS IN THE DARK, the U.K. edition of *Nowhere* So excited to see the Kennans have officially crossed the pond! Many thanks to Embla Books and the team at Jane Rotrosen Agency Here's hoping my British friends enjoy the book, and remember - don't go into the woods 🇬🇧

I am still reeling from the ending of this book. It is so sad and crushing, but also beautiful. I don't know how to feel just yet. What a great debut novel from @authorallisongunn.bsky.social

✨ Extremely excited to be facilitating the conversation for Maddie Martinez’s THE MAIDEN AND HER MONSTER launch - *9.16.25 at 6 pm at Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, West Virginia!* ✨ Copies of NOWHERE will also be available for purchase/signing

I don't post here often, but wanted to pop in to say MY STEPMOM IS NOW A DOCTOR! She just passed her defense at ODU, and I'm so stinkin' proud! Congrats, Dr. Brooks! She worked her ass off to get here, and I'm so happy for her <3

📣I am BEYOND EXCITED to finally share with everyone that I'll be teaming up with Loan Le & Atria once again!  From the bright lights of Hollywood to the darkest hollows of Appalachia, come along with me on the darkest journey I've written yet! <3  #books #bookdeal #horror

Dropping in to say I just finished Nowhere by @authorallisongunn.bsky.social and if you're a fan of horror you should read it. So good. Loved it. Contender for my book of the year.

Today is the big day!! 🥳🎈📚

One of my favorite things abt doing interviews atm is that everyone asks abt the "diabolical tabby" in my bio. The cat who was stuck in a shelter for ~2 yrs, came into my home & took over, then survived FIP thanks to $10k, is now becoming a staple of my public persona 😆 Rock on, Connie 🐾

"Who's the villain in your book?" Book One: The Monster, a serial killer that captures his victim's torture using state of the art performance capture rigs. Book Two: Time.

Had an absolute blast chatting with fellow West Virginian, Eliot Parker, on the "Now, Appalachia" podcast.🎙️ Check it out here 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/729e... #books #podcast #debut #horror #thriller #writingcommunity #Appalachia #WV
