Thank you!
I'm excited that I got accepted into @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social Novel In A Year class. Really looking forward to it
Just finished listening to The Brood by Rebecca Baum. Absolutely Loved it. Misery if it was supernatural body horror.

Maria Haskins is an amazing writer and you should read her work, so here is something new from her at Apex.
Sold a story today. Can't wait to share it with you.
Over the last few months I've become a huge King Diamond fan. The man is seriously underrated as a musician and artist.
My fave song on this album is A Mansion in Darkness. King Diamond is the best.

Hello! I’m Gary Kruse, I write supernatural thrillers featuring ghosts, bad humans, witches and vampires. I’m drawn to the blend of realism and dark wonder, of the horrors that lurk in the every day!
Not so much scenes, but stories or even novels. Normally because I’m not ready to tackle that subject matter yet. I need to let it percolate longer and figure out exactly how I want to tell it. Once I start a project, I dive into it because its been in my head a long time. #HorrorWritersChat
