TODAY’S THE DAY!!!! Haunted Ecologies is out in the world and I’m so happy about it! I love all these little weird eco-horror stories…and hopefully you will to :)

It’s #FridayReads time and Valentine’s Day! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. I’m sharing a love story! Gabe fears settling down with his girlfriend. Bimbo married a woman who can drink souls. Ah, love… www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

First teaser for my MG WIP - my trio of sleuths are back at it! #MGmystery #MGcaperseries #writing

Please share and share again - the demise of twitter definitely stops us getting the word out more. The second #curae literary prize - a special literary award for unpaid carers - has just opened for a second time. thecuraeprize.uk You’ve got until 1/03 to enter!

Holidays are over... office tidied (somewhat). Did two critiques for my group and wrote just shy of 700 words on my WIP. Not bad for the first post-Christmas work day. How is everyone else doing?

INDIANA READERS AND FRIENDS. In just over two weeks I am headed your way! Spread the word! #awhisperinthedark #FortWayne #wildwoodracquetclub

I’ve just seen that #AnneHathaway will be staring in #ColleenHover ‘s #Verity !!! Who were you hoping for? What would your dream cast look like for the movie? #booksky #booksky💙📚

We'll be liveposting our way through it here on Bluesky, but you can watch along from home via the stream on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_xL...

1/2 We know that many of you don’t get to visit us as often as you—or we!—would like, so we thought we’d let you know about some of the recent changes at the bookstore. The most dramatic is probably our new verrière (or glass roof 😉) complete with its own “Romeo and Juliet” balcony. #booksky 💙📚

OK, let's see if this works...

Okay back reading this now with @whatmichaelareads.bsky.social 🖤

Doing some final polishing on our manuscript for WE WILL RISE AGAIN, the anthology of speculative fiction, essays, and interviews about protest & resistance I'm working on with @annaleen.bsky.social and @drkarenlord.bsky.social ~ so looking forward to this book getting out into the world!

Holy moly, that is one remarkable trio behind this! Looking very forward to fall 2025 👍🏼 cc. @chrisszego.bsky.social

Another glimpse into the miniature bookstore

Spent a lot of time today looking for this photo of the time I art-directed a photoshoot of Jim Davis of Garfield fame for Ball State University and was the stand-in until Jim arrived. Why? Because how freaking cute was I?

Absolutely.

DMs are for friends who know each other to talk in private; Or for when you need to discuss something privately with a new friend. That is all. If you slide into my DMs inappropriately, like straight after I follow you back, without an invite, expect an instant unfollow at least!

Today's #writing research--Shinjuku Station. I'm enthralled. Hubby doesn't know it yet, but we will be traveling there soon. So much to do, #writingcommunity, and so little time! #thrillerwriter

My first post-election #horror piece is about John Carpenter's They Live and how it speaks to our current landscape, especially in its portrayal of worker discontent. Check it out over at 1428 Elm. Also, what's your favorite Carpenter film? 1428elm.com/why-john-car...

After many, many years, six books, and a long uphill climb, I’m so honored to announce I’ve signed with AKA Literary, LLC Management. Thank you to all who have shared those little bits of support that kept me going. You may not even know who you are, but I appreciate you.

I had a short story out recently - a gritty, rural noir tale where a young man, fed up with a town and a system stacked against people like him, takes on the local DA and Sheriff, using their own brutal tactics against them to make a few changes. mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...

Hello world

I'm here and hungry for content. Where is it? #new #bluesky #author #writer #wolfpack

Finally getting back into the swing of #amwriting this week. Sat down and made myself write for two hours. And then... the miraculous happened... the words began to flow. We writers are chained to our emotions, making it even harder to do our jobs sometimes. #writingcommunity

How many of my fellow #writers have an office mascot? Allow me to introduce Bilbo Rat! I rescued her from becoming "snake food" and she keeps me company during my "butt in chair" sessions. Everyone needs an office mascot... am I right? #writingcommunity #amwritingMG #amwritingthrillers

So true! Thanks for sharing that.

TAPESTRY Nina Bell Mysteries #1 Nina’s boyfriend tries to rob her of the $10K she’s delivering to her boss. When her boss winds up dead, Nina has to deal with love, lust, theatre, rock ‘n roll – and murder before the killer decides she’s expendable. #Mystery #WritingCommunity

So pleased to have a poem in this.

My amazing agent, the incomparable Terrie Wolf, reminded me today that beauty is all around us--we just need to open our eyes (and our hearts) and look. #writingcommunity #positivity #amwriting

This is Luna - my writing companion, fiercest critic, and biggest distraction. Every writer needs one! #writingcommunity #amwriting #amrevising
