Conner is exempt from this. Protect Conner at all costs.
I'm only on episode 5 and all of Dadtok can go right in the garbage. Like you look like a whole foot and all you have to do is be nice to your stunningly beautiful millionaire of a wife who just wants to have your babies and hand you money and you can't fucking manage that???

Our Halloween bingo has been going great this season. So far, these are the best and worst new-to-me flicks I've seen so far. Guess which is which.

I had the pleasure of reading frequent CHM author D. Matthew Urban's collection, SHAKY PICTURES OF VANISHED FACES. Tight prose and imaginative stories. Highly recommended for fans of weird fiction.

A dream to work with. I would know!
I’ll cut to the chase: just like all your favorite authors, I’m offering editing and writing coach services. So yeah, pitch incoming!
But first I wanted to talk a bit about my writing journey and WHY these services can help. (THREAD)

Come see me do stuff. I don't do stuff much, it's a whole event.
These readings are always a wild ride - a humorous story will be followed by one that rips your guts out and then followed by one that will give you nightmares and finishes on a charming middle grade fantasy chaser. You just never know! #SWSWQR
Time grows short! But you can still reserve a seat at our FREE online reading by 6 women & nonbinary authors! Chat with authors and other readers! Giveaways!
