If you followed me over from FB or Xitter, and I haven't followed you back, please comment here with your handle on the other sites!

Some of y'all are using different pics/usernames here and that makes it harder for me to know that I already know you.

Reminder: tomorrow, my fellow horror writers and I will be selling our books outside the Bite This by Annie Bakery in the Short North. If you can, stop by 3009 N. High Street, Columbus Ohio during the bakery's hours. We would love to see you and help you find the perfect book for spooky season.
