Yesterday was a big surgical day for Construct. So much to strip out and fix. I started at 92k, removed A LOT, rewrote a bunch, nearing the halfway point, and ended up at 95k. Still much work to be done. Feels like every thread I pull, five more come with it. Hope it all pays off.

Had someone stop by the table to tell they’d bought These Trespasses—my first novel way back when—and liked it so much that they’d been passing it around to their friends, who also enjoyed it. And that, my friends, made my night.

Ready to go at Monster Mania. Stop by and say hi if you’re around Oaks, PA.

Slow going, but on chapter 22 of 58 on this book I've been plucking away at between editing gigs. The best part? I'm just really enjoying it. That's what matters most to me.

Last show of the year for me.

Hell yeah!

If y'all don't have FEAR OF CLOWNS yet, the hardcover is on sale for just over $10. It's cheaper than the paperback! @kennethwcain.bsky.social and @kkfilms.bsky.social did a great job loading this up with fantastic writers and stories. www.amazon.com/Fear-Clowns-...

If you haven't checked out One of Us yet, time is running out. The sheer number of stories from incredible writers in this anthology is a great tribute to Frank. If you didn't know Frank, you'll know most, if not all, of the writers.

Watching The Bear. Jamie Lee Curtis!!! That is all. Just…amazing.

Fear of Clowns Czech edition. How cool is that cover?

All set up and ready to go. Ran into a few people including this guy.

I'll be there. Will you?

Happy birthday to the love of my life.

Celebrating Gage’s 21st. My oh my, how the years have flown by.

Hello, all. I’m looking for podcasts suggestions. My interests are writing, editing, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, guitar, music, art, painting, stories, history, things like that, but always willing to give something new a try. Just need to find some more positive things to listen to while I work.

Ready to go on the first level of the Chester County Library in Exton. Will be here from 1 to 4 pm. Come say hi.

Who are writers who deserve more visibility? Let's make a list.

Folks, tell me something good (no politics please). I need more positive energy these days.

What are some newer books you've read and really enjoyed? looking to add some audiobooks.

I’ve walked a million and more steps to get to where I am. I’ve stumbled and fallen been broken and failed but I’ve pushed onward. And with luck I’ll walk many a million more.

When I was a kid, I was bullied. A lot. Most of my childhood, in fact. So much so that when I grew older and got bigger, I stood between bullies and their victims. Yes, I got a little banged up, but I learned to fight back and fight back I did. So you know where I stand I stand right now.

When you are a writer and leave mysterious (made-up?) word notes to yourself that make absolutely no sense: Pendere.

Trying to work on my own writing for once (something I don't get to do often), but...the wind is scary. So scary. Lots of howling and crying and whimpering.

Somebody accidentally got out of the yard today. Found him shivering at the front door. Lots of paranoid barking and snuggle hugs tonight.

Needs some touch up here and there, but…pretty pleased.

Happy mail today.
