WOMEN IN HORROR:

1,000s of women read and write horror. Enough to subscribe to Kayleigh's YouTube & push it over 1,000+ subscribers, and even 4,000+ 'watch hours' so it can be monetized.

It's free & takes seconds. Good reviewers are rare & worthy of supporting.

PSA FOR HORROR AUTHORS.
Selling physical copies of horror books and your related merch to Europe just got harder.

Horror books, like all other books, will need to comply with the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) when it comes into effect on December 13, 2024. You may want to Google it.

At the Intersection of Horror and Death Metal comes a new anthology.

The event = DETHFEST. The fifteen bands who played on stage in the Try Not To Die at Dethfest adventure book tell their own stories in an anthology that's definitely not Y.A. friendly.

Pre-Order now. geni.us/DevilsPlaylist

Why not take a little time today to give a shout out to some of the people who make your life better?

@everyone who has followed me back on my profile, and everyone who found me organically.

I see great things in our futures ;)

I'm working on a huge project so writing has taken a bit of a back seat for a couple of years, but I have been invited to a fun anthology which I accepted even though a bit 'rusty'. I needn't have been concerned. I am currently over 3,000 words in and it feels so good to be back in the groove!

There are 108 days left to 2023. If you write an average of 740 words a day, you’ll have an 80,000 word book by the end of the year. Some days you can write more, some you can write less, some not at all. The point is, it’s feasible. Write on!

Edgar Allan Poe hasn't published anything in well over a year and people are still talking about him, so if he can do it, there's certainly no reason the rest of us can't take rests every once in a while. The words and readers will still be there.

Day two on Bluesky. Already found a variety of tribes that seem to be 'my people', so I'm following them like a reluctant stalker. I kinda sorta feel sorry for them ;)

On the plus side, it'll do me some good as I really need to work on my social skills.

You know how in Small Gods by Terry Pratchett the only gods who truly exist are those with believers? Authors are like that too. We only really exist when people talk about our books. We don't want worship, just readers. Please tell people about us.

"Call me Ishmael" is great and all, but @dangerslater.bsky.social knows how to write a REAL first line.

Check out "Cherry Boy," only in OPEN ALL NIGHT, arriving Oct. 24.
