I had the pleasure of being interviewed by my friend @rickhipson.bsky.social for his podcast called What Screams May Come. We talked about my book Katrina: After 20, and at the end I read from one of the earlier chapters during the storm.

Went to a vinyl store in a market yesterday and the weirdest thing happened. I found signs on all the crates forbidding customers to flip through the stacks. Um...WTF? Flipping through old vinyl is part of the experience! Suffice to say, I kept walking.

In celebration of my upcoming birthday, I bribed (not really) @crystallake.bsky.social to reduce my reviewer's guide to only 99 cents for a very limited time. If you ever considered getting paid to read free ARCs of your favourite authors, click the link below: www.amazon.com/Reviewers-Gu...

About to dive into this gorgeous book by Canadian Bram Stoker winning author, @aijiang.bsky.social. I look forward to chatting with her on my Dark Bites podcast once I've read this.

Caught a new cop show on Prime called On Call, produced by Dick Wolf. It's none-stop action with some solid, dialed in characters that uses a first first person POV as we see what they see through their cams. It's only 8 episodes, and I have just one more to go. I hope there's a season 2.

Your periodic reminder that leaving even a one-sentence review of an indie writer's work on any platform (esp. Amazon, Goodreads, etc) will absolutely make that author's day, and yes, you cracked the code; it's me, it would make my day - it always does :) To everyone who already has, you're awesome!

While looking up some other info on IMDB, I just learned that David Morell had named his iconic Rambo character after the Rambo apple trees that Johnny Appleseed planted in 1800's. I did not know that until now.

Enjoyed a super tasty lunch at a fairly new Pho with my partner in crime yesterday. The day marked a decade of tolerating me and for that, I am grateful. And yes, I totally did a washroom selfie because even that was stylishly laid out among the impressive array of blossoms and LED décor.

Currently blasting the soundtrack to Maximum Overdrive as one does when writing an essay about Stephen King's Dollar Baby program for a friend's book which explores them.
