My 5-⭐️ review of THE SILENCED by @dianawallachauthor.bsky.social I very much enjoyed this YA horror read: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

For the last year or so I wondered if it was me or my intense job keeping me from the discipline of writing every day. I went on vacation and after three days I was right back to 1,500 words per day on a sharp new WIP…It wasn’t me, it was (is) the intense job keeping me from writing consistently.

Do you like reading excellent horror stories about the workplace? You should pre-order DREAD MONDAYS: A WHISPER HOUSE PRESS HORROR ANTHOLOGY! This anthology of workplace horror stories by 35 authors includes "Such a Catch," by me! 10/25/2025 #booksky #horrorsky @whisperhousepress.bsky.social

I don’t mean to prejudge but if you have a 100:1 follow to follower count and everything on your feed is no-quote reposts, I’m not going to follow you, and I’m probably blocking ‘you’… whatever you are

Horror? ✅ Troubled teen industry? ✅ Buying this book soon? ✅ !!!

lol these jokers have a law school right?

COSTS OF LIVING, WHP's first anthology and first pub, launched on Monday, but our launch event is tomorrow (Friday, 5 Sept 2025) at The Printed Garden, an independent bookstore here in Utah. I am nervous. I'm actually more nervous than when I launched my own book 18+ months ago. #whisperhousepress

Financial violence is often shadowy but real

Not me staring at my Kirkus review every few hours 😍

The Kirkus review of PAPER AIRPLANES, BROKEN BONES is in! "A wholly absorbing but relentlessly grim coming-of-age tale." - Kirkus Reviews Yes, it is dark. The narrative does include instances of lightness & hope, too—my opinion. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DV9BL2VS www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

www.amazon.com/dp/B0DV9BL2VS praise from 'strangers'! 5⭐️ Jill-Arcangela, B&N: to call this a coming-of-age story doesn’t do it justice 4⭐️ Jessica Christie, reviewer: I wasn’t prepared for how powerful this coming-of-age story would be 5⭐️ J.S. Douglas, author: any teenager from any era can connect

Wow! This terrific write-up for PAPER AIRPLANE, BROKEN BONES from a Canadian book reviewer! She really GOT it👇 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

The buzz on WEAPONS is LOUD! So many great horror films in 2025!

This guy should never ever EVER see the inside of a political office in the USA

In 2019, I predicted that by 2036 prisons disguised as facilities to treat the criminally insane would exist across the USA. Yesterday’s EO eases the path to potentially incarcerate millions, violating their rights. You can read this story here for free: eunoiareview.wordpress.com/2019/02/21/a...

People I’m sending you this ALT text, so what more can I do to prove I love you? Read it.

Core memory: Summer of 1981. A transistor radio dangled from a strap slung over one of my Schwinn’s handlebars. CRAZY TRAIN by #OzzyOsbourne was blasting as my buddy leaped off the Las Olas bridge and plunged into the Ft. Lauderdale intercoastal waterway. Nobody got hurt or arrested. RIP Ozzy.

Read EVERY bit of ALT TEXT on all these photos and THANK ME later! 😂😂😂

My 5-⭐️ review of ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK by Chris Whitaker. A sweeping and magnificent read. Highly recommend. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Editors for authors 👇

This is my gift to you today, fellow author. You don’t even need to like this post. Merely gaze upon the circle and benefit from its love.

My 5-⭐️ review of PORTRAITS OF DECAY by Carson Winter. An excellent collection!

On ‘civility’ and the road to a ‘civil’ authoritarian state (except for the extra 10,000 masked ICE agents abducting people off the streets).

Remember book reviews are good, and authors can use them in lieu of tickets at boardwalk amusement parks to get nifty erasers, small stuffed snakes, and finger traps
