I've noticed more non-European folklore appear, via the likes of @leemurraywriter.bsky.social @geneveflynn.bsky.social @angelayurikosmith.bsky.social and others in works such as Unquiet Spirits. Would recommend. Really interesting.

The Arts do more than make money, they tell us who we are. They’re an investment in culture, community, critical thinking and social cohesion. They shine a light on what it means to be human. ❤️ Maybe that’s why authoritarians hate the arts?Footage from @campaign4arts #artists #artlife

I’ve made the difficult decision to step down as President of the Horror Writers Association, effective October 31, 2025. It has been an honor to serve this incredible community of writers. I’ll remain a proud member and volunteer. The HWA will always have my heart. ❤️

Remember when I got my hajichi tattoos last month? My daughter Emily just got her own! They turned out amazing.

My new practice to preserve my mental health: instead of checking email and news while I have coffee, I am teaching myself to play the kalimba (aka thumb piano). It’s a happier way to start my day.
