I’ll be reading from my story, Invasive, along with a lot of talented authors in the Darkness Most Fowl anthology tomorrow. Also: I have a new story out in the Darkness Most Fowl anthology!

Watching a vid on someone’s 90s vintage thrifted Halloween haul and it’s like watching an anthropologist or archaeologist theorize on my teen years and why we did things as if I’m some mysterious, near-extinct creature not seen in the wild for generations.

Of all my talents, thinking up titles to sort story collections is not one of them. And now I have to come up with two. Blargh, I stayed up til 3 editing and now I have to use my brain more?! Not cool.

Did not expect to experience a Gregorian chant version of ‘Heroes’ when channel flipping through an existential crisis, yet I strangely needed that today.

Let’s keep it going. I’m all about the pleasing memes. Time to talk about nice things. 1 like = 1 thing I love

I guess I should probably commit more to learning to use this platform at this point.

That time of year I haul out my holiday story for people with complex feelings about the season. Or what happens when I mix holiday tropes with faeries, starting over, magic, and probably a dash of Andersen’s Fir Tree. a.co/d/9mAhanY #booksky #books #Christmas

Set up and ready to go! Back in the saddle after a lot of ups, downs, more downs, but I’m still here! #author #books

New flash fic up for the Ladies of Horror monthly challenge! spreadingthewritersword.com/2024/01/22/l... #horror #amwriting #authors

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of obscure 80s sitcoms of my youth and The Charmings is on YouTube. Send help. This show was such a great idea that just never fully clicked in some ways. Lillian and the magic mirror are still fun, though.

Happy to have you here!

Decided to play into the cliche and went on a notebook binge. Who decided *this* was appropriate for normal human handwriting?! Mine isn’t great on a good day and now you throw *this* at me?! #writing #authors #amwriting

New flash fic up as part of the Ladies of Horror flash project! #amwriting #horror #authors #darkfantasy #writingcommunity #amreading

Even in the bleak midwinter, it’s human nature to look for the bright spots. A holiday horror tale set during the zombie apocalypse #christmas #amwriting #horror #writingcommunity #authors a.co/d/2UM5gX1

Curled up with Sting’s ‘If on a Winter’s Night,’ which gives me so much nostalgia vibes and peaceful energy. Love this album

Due to so many reasons, I haven’t held a title only by me in my hands since 2014. These showed up this week. Sometimes wins are loud and triumphant, and sometimes they’re the quiet alert of a delivery on your porch #amwriting #fantasy #fairytale #christmas #authors

Now out in e-book and paperback! What happens when Holly comes home to find her imaginary childhood friend is real? What’s more important-love and happiness, or a promise to an old friend? a.co/d/hq0u1xt #christmas #holiday #fairytale #amwriting #amreading #fantasy #authors

I did not think I would get back to this point, so I’m very excited to say - how about a pre-order? www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNYPNF1... #amwriting #christmas #fairytale #amreading #holidayfiction

So yeah, there will be a thing coming soon for the holidays - believe me I’m as surprised as anyone else 🤣

Welsh folklore tells us that November is Witch Month: "Witches were supposed to have great power in Nov. Their Sabbaths were scenes of the wildest orgies, so the old people said. Children were told not to remain out after dark for they would catch them." #folklorethursday #Wales

I’m thrilled that all my useless knowledge on an IP can finally be put to use. This panel was insightful and such a blast to do!

Totally forgot to post Halloween pics - started this in 2019 and had to shelve it due to the medical mystery tour. Finally felt up to finishing and wearing it for a con tinual panel on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina recorded last month. #costumes #horror #halloween

Today’s NaNoWriMo word count: 2,843. I kind of know where I’m going with things, but I’ll have to flesh out stuff in a later draft. I have to keep reminding myself that’s normal or something.

November 1st is #NationalAuthorsDay. Reach out and support your favorite author by telling them how much you enjoy their work, buying a book, or leaving a review. Or go out and discover a new author. Enjoy your day.

Scammers often forge Big 5 publisher docs as part of their effort to get writers to part with $$. Here's how scammer Impact Press Media (dba multiple other names) tried to get one writer to pay $4000. (Name on the invoice is the real name of sales rep posing as agent "Alex Weiss") #WriterBeware

I’m mostly doing nanowrimo to get back into a steady writing habit. Managed 2600 words after editing an unrelated novella. Hopefully I can keep this pace for a while.

It’s that time of year for a creepy read about family drama, revenge, and a creepy doll! The Inheritance is on Kindle & is the perfect short read to cap off your Halloween! a.co/d/7zWLW81

Writing problem 789: I love how I write faerie conversation until I have to spell and grammar check my wildly specific and weird blend of syntax. You’d think I’d learn by now, but also, it’s me so if course I don’t. So yeah, currently editing and hating everything.

The Bard lectures @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com has given have been so revitalizing and necessary for me to livestream this year, given where I’m at as a writer. It was also absolutely necessary to see him lose his notes and take his glasses off prematurely to reaffirm he’s human.

I am actually a person - still getting used to this thing! Excited to actually see posts from people I feel like I haven’t seen in a million years.
