Text: No, I want to scream at me, but the ice has spread through the whole of me. I'm frozen. This, this!, is the wrong. Get up. Run! I don't listen.
1,200 words written and my latest short horror story is done! Not bad before noon 😌✍️
A3: I got two amazing blurbs for Woman of Sorrow and Blood this week! Including this one! #WeeknightWriters

"THE FACE OF PAIN is unlike anything I have ever read. It’s original, disturbing, disgustingly beautiful, and horribly upsetting. With that being said, it is impossible to put down once you crack the front cover." -- Dave Dreher, Gruesome Magazine

It's World Book Day! Why not celebrate with some horror? Of course I'd love for you to check out my books pictured below, but you should also check out the works of Laurel Hightower, Kathleen Palm, Nuzo Onoh, R.J. Joseph, L.C. Marino, Steve Stred, T.L. Bodine, Lisel Jones, and so many more! #booksky
It's been a learning curve, but I'm definitely getting a handle on the marketing now...

Text: The silence and the stillness squeeze around me, closer and closer, tighter and tighter. Until the telephone on my desk rings. My head jerks up. The display screen is still black, the little light isn’t flashing red, but it rings again. It keeps ringing while I gaze at it from over my chair, shrill and loud. Too shrill, too loud. Are they getting faster? It gets under my skin, into my teeth. I don’t realize I’ve started scratching my stomach. I need to make it stop! I wrench the base up, keeping the handset pressed in its cradle, and flip it over. There are no wires plugged into its back.
700 words added to my short horror story. Hoping to finish it tomorrow ✍️
Spoilers: It stays a delight!
Read it, read it, read iiiittt!!!! #booksky
Hardcover copy of The Drowned Heir in focus against a soft library shelves background the cover art is a pale woman wearing a tricorn hat with a brimstone tattoo on her left shoulder, her head turned to the left, writhing tentacles in the darkness behind her. art by Yorgos Cotronis, and I bought the art in a premade cover pack on his website https://cotronis.com/ and put the text on it myself.

Come celebrate World Book Day the indie horror way! #booksky
Honestly, who cracks their tooth on BAKED POTATO haha That would be so dumb.
Certainly not me.
At least I hope not. I currently can't chew on the left side of my mouth...
beware the Children of Silver Jenny
and the sound of cicadas at night
or the voices of the missing
they hunt they hunt they hunt

For #nationalbook day I'd like to have the work of Lord Dunsany widely read again. He inspired giants (Tolkien-Moorcock etc) but I love his work for its own sake. Poetic and haunting-full of landscape.
It's STILL Queer Rage Week at the Batcave!
You know what to do 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Text: Something is wrong. I’ve known since I set foot in the building, even if I can’t explain it. I don’t know if it’s something wrong with work or with me or just in general, but there is something and it is wrong.
500 words added to my short horror story. Thinking this one may be close to 5k when it's done. We'll see! ✍️
Cold Snap releases in less than 2 weeks, so let’s celebrate with a lovely blurb! I’m so incredibly lucky to know Joey Powell and thankful for all his support and everything he does for the horror community🖤
Exclusive cover reveal: WE ARE FOR THE DARK by Gretchen McNeil
Her follow-up to They Fear Not Men in the Woods trades forests for a fog-shrouded Newfoundland island. An FBI-agent-turned-priest vs. ancient folklore

I wrote a story about a dude way in over his head with the mafia, and you can read it here: www.patreon.com/posts/152113...
“The followers of the false god refused Nightfather's truth. They set his home aflame and chased him into the darkness. He fled north, north, north through the night. He ran until, one day, he reached a land where the sun did not rise, and he knew he had found the most sacred of places.” ~ The Book of Night
There are only NINE DAYS LEFT until Woman of Sorrow and Blood comes out & today I'm celebrating by sharing the first verse of scripture I created for the book's cult!

It's Women in Horror Month! I am a woman and I do, in fact, write horror, usually about other women in haunted houses or dying worlds or beset by eldritch deities. If any of that sounds like your thing, perhaps one of my books will interest you! #booksky
It's just incredible to me how TikTok in particular seems to embrace something they saw in a single video with nothing to back up the claims as fact and then spread it as such. Worrying times ahead (for so...so...so many reasons).

Any time, friend!
as a writer, it's hard for me to talk about my work. I already wrote it, after all! It's like that David Lynch interview. The novel is the thing.
So, what's up with Burn Up in Victory?
I keep saying it's a romantasy, but also that I thought I was writing a sword fighting book.
