Someone shared a post that said "Replacing Noem with Mullen is like peeing your pants and changing your shirt," and dang if that didn't ring true!
Women of horror. I donβt have a big platform, but please post your books/covers/projects in the replies and I will repost them all.
As an Oregonian, I was quite confused. But then I remembered how cheap gas is on the East coast!
WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE?
Plus there are powerful forces that would prefer if you didn't.
When we talk about what it means to be a writer itβs easy to think about how we support other writers, bookstores, journals, literary organizations, or libraries. But I think general literacy is a huge issue we donβt think about enough.All writers should have a vested interest in this.
YES! I agree to everything you've just said 110%.
That's really true!!
Okay, so this Women in Horror Month I will promote myself because I am under the radar most of the time and I cannot depend on others to even remember I exist. My first collection, full of a variety of horror. Lone wolf, my own cheerleader! Go me! π’ #wihm

Yay!!! Demons are sooo creepy.
It's both hilarious and horrible.

Thinking a lot today about how reading rates are dropping (despite all the studies that reading is really good for people), writers are struggling to survive, and publishing companies keep consolidating into bigger, more vicious conglomerates.
It's an ugly, massive Gordian knot.
If I can ever sell my novel about a demon you can inherit, you will get to read the fictionalized stories of 4 generations of my Wagner forefathers!
Spoiler: ALL OF THEM WERE ASSHOLES.
One was a wheat farmer; the other was a ranch hand/carnie who used different aliases in different towns -- leading us to suspect he was also some kind of criminal.
Today, full legal protection has been granted in Wales and beavers are recognised as a native species by the Welsh Government. This brings Wales in line with Scotland & England, ensuring cross-border consistency.
