Questions Persist While Quakertown Students Remain in Police Custody| “Upper Bucks United & our broader community are in a state of shock.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

There are earthquakes and there are slow tectonic shifts that alter the landscape of our lives. This book, TILT, blends them with such force that your world as a reader is sure to be upended. Read this novel. It will be the most powerful story you’ve read in a while, I promise. Highly recommend.

Finally saw Predator: Badlands. I like the tie-in to the Alien franchise/ Alien: Earth & cheering for Predator. However, PREY remains my favorite Predator movie. Love the historic setting, Naru’s bold character arc, her brother’s heroism, & how it pits cunning and agility vs. technology and force.

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
