Horror is my happy place. If you're a fan of good books featuring strong women, all kinds of thrills and chills, and stories told with lots of heart, it can be your happy place too! Won't you join me? #booksky

...and King Under Sea, because. All Hookland art is a seen out of the corner of the mind's eye thing with rare (one, actually) exceptions. They could look like many things. They looked like this to me in that instant.

A friend assured someone they can trust me because I'm like a vault. I know she said it genuinely, but also I can't help but think it's because she knows I only talk to like 5 people and 3 of them are my pets.

I've tried everything to write this book and it's STILL not done.

I've thought about it.

I've paced while muttering to myself.

I've noisily sipped cocoa while glaring at my screen.

I've watched TikToks of puppies in pajamas.

I've flopped on my husband and gurgled nonsensically.

Everything...

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

If I see someone bitching that a book, movie, game (*cough*silenthillf*cough*), etc. is feminist, I immediately dismiss their opinion as belonging to a crusty pantsed cry baby wuss wuss.

Hi Sheena. For the foreseeable future and until I find a new publisher, my website it the only place. I have to mail them out so there is that additional cost. Better for people to wait til I find a new home. But if they can’t wait,

I dunno if it's the state of the world, a month and counting of bronchitis, or what, but my writing has slowed to barely a trickle. ToA's sequel in particular has completely stalled and it's frustrating me to no end. If anyone needs me, I'll be languishing melancholicly under my desk.

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.
