Brenda was my idol when I was little. My mother and I moved away and I never got to know her very well as an adult, but my heart goes out to her closer family members. Light a candle on the page, if you will.

Lost to gun violence on October 7, 2025 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Click to light a candle, post a photo, or tell the world about Brenda.

Are you tired of watching the same popular horror films over and over again for the Halloween season?

What if I gave you a list of cult horror films to watch this year instead?

I really love working with publishers whose catalogue shows they care about literature and new voices. I think indie publishing is where the important risks get taken, where we keep art alive.
