“HEY GRANDMA! MY BOOK COMES OUT IN DECEMBER! IT’S A REALLY SCARY BOOK FOR YOU…TO HAVE!” #horror #urbanfamtasy #bookstagram
Did I spend almost a half hour this morning tweaking a single sentence? Yes. Yes I did. #5amwritersclub
My next novel is The Book of Wine & Sorrow.
It’s the final book in The Martyr’s Vow series.
Some characters will die. Others will find purpose. Armenian mythology is steeped throughout. It features the most stressful honeymoon ever. And lots of ghosts. Preorders go live Nov. 15. #books #urbanfantasy
Let your Muse wield a chainsaw like a slasher film. Slice through your doubt and fear. You’re a writer, a mad tale-teller hellbent on spinning yarns and scribbling stories. Conviction keeps the words flowing, not ratings or reviews. Write like nobody can stop you, even yourself. #5amwritersclub
Is this a good reference for witchcraft?
Write when you’re angry.
Write when you’re sad.
Channel those feelings into words and the words into stories. Make your protagonist a big ol’ sack of emotions.
The Martyr’s Vow is the only fiction series to feature an Armenian-American protagonist who can embalm cadavers, see ghosts, and ride with a monster-hunting biker gang.
Spent over two hours last night on the phone with a beta reader going over my manuscript. Gained insight and perspective on worldbuilding and writing and improved the overall book. Bringing my A-game to this one.
Scenes from last night’s poetry reading in Atlantic City. Read two of my poems, “Temptation at 3 a.m” and an excerpt from “America You Are Broken.” Heard outstanding poets and saw some enchanting art.
Tonight’s horror movie is Something Wicked This Way Comes. I’ve heard good things about this one! #horrormovies
Led Zeppelin IV is an excellent album, but Dark Side of the Moon is a religious experience.
I miss the heavy metal horror of the 1980s.
It’s almost time!

Cover reveal and preorders for THE BOOK OF WINE & SORROW go live on Nov. 15.

Street date for THE BOOK OF WINE & SORROW is Dec. 15.

The Martyr’s Vow series of weird horror concludes with a honeymoon gone wrong and a treasure hunt in Armenia for a powerful relic.
Two short story rejections today. Submitted one short story. The cycle continues… #writing
“The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive” is my favorite Springsteen lyric. #Springsteen #BornToRun
It’s not about being liked or sales or reviews that determine your worth as a writer. It’s knowing the absolute chaos going on in the world and still sitting down at that keyboard and writing your stories. It’s perseverance through these hellish times and a belief that your stories heal yourself.
The Bruce Springsteen lyric “I’m sick of sitting around here trying to write this book” hits particularly hard for struggling writers battling writer’s block. Well played, Boss. Well played. #5amwritersclub
Oh shit. They loved my poem!
I’m attending my first poetry open mic in years. Reading an original poem in front of an audience. #writing #poetry 😬
Some men drown their sorrows in alcohol. I feed my feelings with carbs. #breakfast #waffle #pathos #writerlifestyle
