ICYMI, for reasons I’ll be able to share soon, I’ve been writing in Maylene’s Hollow lately and have a free story about what was happening around town as the world went to hell. If you’ve read the book there’s some connective tissue, if not, there’s still a microdose of dread.(1/2)
Brennan puts out excellent stuff. Read it, or else.

Huge congrats to Victoria Dalpe on the release of Selene Shade Part Deux. I’m 80 pages in and it rocks and rolls as hard as the first entry. Some fantastic readings at the Weird Providence release party and I also grabbed a collection by some guy named John Langan. The kid has talent.
Taking the kids thrift store shopping for clothes and you accidentally only get books for yourself. Oops.
I just saw that our opening day speaker for our school district is an AI guy, who will talk to us about not just the "challenges" AI presents for teachers, but the opportunities to use AI and to get students to thrive using AI. Meanwhile, my AI policy I've already printed for parents . . .
Alex Brown 🇵🇸 (they/them)@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social · last wk.There are a dozen pressing questions for the future of education, and "can AI help students write" isn't one of them.
Did you know I have a book about zombies? Did you know I have a book about witchcraft? Did you know it’s the same book? Pick up The Denizens now so you can read it in October. You’ll thank me when they come knocking.
Horror Hive, I’m considering doing an in-store book signing on Halloween. In your experience would this be well attended/have good foot traffic because spooky, or not a great idea because it’s day of?

Apropos of no current events whatsoever, I present a novel where a man believes he is running the town of Maylene’s Hollow, but all the power comes from women and it always has. The Denizens from @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social
I know what you’re thinking. You love horror, but there aren’t enough horror books with a chapter from the cat’s point of view. Until now. THE DENIZENS featuring Morton.
