I have openings soon for anyone wanting to schedule now for me to do book editing (or any #editing). Working to finish a project now, but after that, I am in need of your work. Development, line, copy, proofreading. Let me be your second set of eyes. DM or email me. Shares wanted & welcome!! 🫶🏼

I could write a long, angry thread about how AI is the biggest act of piracy ever. About how it's stealing art from artists, words from writers... But fuck it, instead, let's go hard on circling the wagons, protecting those in our community, and amplifying the talents of those being robbed 🖤.

First day back to work after COVID began with sewing up our youngest's mermaid dress🧜‍♀️ . Now it's a post office run to mail some signed books, and then it's back to the ENCOUNTERS shortlist. If I get time, I'll check in on some vampire action in my new novella. Let's go! 🎃🖤

Social media should connect us, bring us together, but it often leaves us feeling more isolated, angry, and upset. It doesn't have to be this way. Take a moment today to wish someone a happy Spooky Season 🎃, a happy birthday, or just wish someone well. You'll feel better for it 🖤

Reviews are for readers, not for you.
But, yeah, we get it. It's hard not to look every now and again.
Had some bad reviews? Remember, The Haunting of Hill House, one of the best horror novels of all time, has over 7000 one-star reviews. A few aren't going to hurt your career 🖤.

It's Monday! Time for some new horror affirmations to start the week...

Live, laugh, look behind you!
You are worthy...of a sequel.
You are unique and beautiful, like some conjured beast, slick with blood, dancing beneath a full moon.
You are capable...of being the final girl.

Have a great week! 🖤

It's Monday, so here are some horror affirmations to get you pumped and ready to work...

Live, laugh, slaughter them all.
You are unique...and utterly horrifying.
You are worthy...of not getting caught.
You are enough...cosmic horror to drive anyone insane.

Have a great week, everyone! 🖤

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

Thanks, Jim! I've been taking a zinc supplement and Brazil nuts are a part of my daily mid-morning snack (along with almonds), so hopefully those will hold me in good stead. It's always good to hear from you. Hope everything's great with you!
