This might be my new favorite coffee mug, although I really missed a golden tagline opportunity: “Some mugs weren’t meant to be found.”

Oh well, I’ll do better on the next mug. 😂😂

It's a busy week ahead! Not one, not two, but three book events. It starts in Franklin, shifts to Hartford, and concludes in Green Bay. Let the fun continue!

Definitely! I personally love the idea of selling a book about a haunted house…at a haunted house.

DJ Slater @djslater.bsky.social · 6d

All set up and ready to go! Thank you Terror On Rural Street for making me a part of it all. And they even let me wear a costume for the occasion! #horror #spookyseason #books #Wisconsin #author #hauntedhouse #Halloween #novel @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

Thank you. Likely a few factors, but a recent event I went to might be the main reason.

DJ Slater @djslater.bsky.social · 7d

The next stop on the tour takes me to Hartford, WI, the home of one of my favorite haunted houses. Some of my earliest haunted house memories are from this area, so it's fitting that I get to return with a novel inspired by those memories.

The goal was to publish a novel. But seeing Legend Has It climb to No. 2 in the new release chart for psychological horror is really, really cool. 😊

Who knows? Maybe it can take that top spot. We shall see.

It's great to see the early reviews on Legend Has It. While it's only been two weeks, I humbly ask anyone who has read it to leave a rating or review (or both) on Goodreads and Amazon. This action improves the novel's visibility.

Thanks so much! Enjoy the scares! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

It’s a beautiful day in Oshkosh! Time to let the locals know about a scary story that starts in this location. 👻

Ahhh! The hashtag use! Brilliant!!

New addition to the booth! Creepy in its simplicity, but even creepier if you’ve read Legend Has It and know the reference!
