Seven years ago my thriller novel died on sub. It was devastating. I turned to writing horror because it’s my comfort genre as a reader. This year my debut, Palmetto Boy, came out. I have stories in three amazing anthologies. For anyone who needs to hear this, never give up on your writing!

We're just three weeks away from the release of DWELLER IN DARKNESS by Sam Flynn. This sequel to MYSTERY OF THE PALE KING combines gritty flintlock fantasy with creeping cosmic horror. Preorder your copy at a discount today! www.timberghostpress.com/dweller-land... @samflynnwrites.bsky.social

Palmetto Boy is set in South Florida, with a cursed house, things that skitter, and a machete-wielding mom facing down a monster to protect her kid. Available here: www.timberghostpress.com/store/p81/Pa... @timberghostpress.bsky.social

Something is in the attic. It slams doors that aren't there. It's chewing a hole through the ceiling... Alane thought she escaped the Palmetto Boy as a child, but now it's set its sights on her son, Ray. Cover by Greg Chapman www.timberghostpress.com/palmetto-boy... @d-a-jobe.bsky.social

Ahhhhh! 🙌 I FINALLY finished a draft of the weird coastal horror story I started in April 2023!!! I think this may be a record for how long it took me to get from initial idea to an actual finished draft. It’s only 3000 words! 🙃

There's something in the attic crawl space, doors slam where there aren't any, and something is chewing a hole in the bedroom ceiling. Something Alane thought she escaped decades ago. Find out what crawls in the darkness with D.A. Jobe's, Palmetto Boy. www.timberghostpress.com/palmetto-boy...

When I was a kid my dad bought a house that came with a box of old games, including Uncle Wiggily. The object of the game was to get Uncle Wiggily, who has rheumatism, to Dr. Possum’s office. I made a tiny version and it’s a little beat up looking but I love it so much! #miniatures #dollhouses

A monster terrorized Alane’s family when she was a child. Years later...it's come back. This time it's after her son. Get your copy of PALMETTO BOY from @timberghostpress.bsky.social www.timberghostpress.com/store/p81/Pa...

I would use a bargain, presented in a way that sounds appealing and beneficial but ends up a nightmare and costing everything. #HorrorWritersChat

Last qu, and thank you to everyone who's interacted so far. Your minds never cease to thrill me. Outro in 10. Promo awaits. #HorrorWritersChat

The fairy returned the child with a parasite inside her that weakened her and took her life. The fairy returned the child again to the grieving parents, and again the parasite took her. Again and again the fairy returned the child and the parents held out their arms, knowing. #HorrorWritersChat

I do love a good writing prompt. Thankfully, so do some of you. One more question after this, then the promo. Thank you to all but the one who did for not promo-ing already. #HorrorWritersChat

In my story "The Witch of Black Mountain" I invented Kentucky coal mining fairies called Damps - the spirits responsible for countless deaths in the mines. In fact, it's possible that Black Mountain's "Witch" isn't really even a witch after all... amzn.to/4eLSswd #HorrorWritersChat #HarlanCounty

Being a great horror writer is not always about talking about something scary. It's making something scary that people think is tiny, or harmless. How would you subvert your Tinkerbell? Actually she was probably scary too. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Shelly. In my longer fiction, I usually write ensemble-based horror situated in my home state of Maryland. The shorter stuff gets weird and moves all over the place, like a recent short told from the POV of murder weapons. As for fairies, yes. They'll steal your babies. #Horrorwriterschat

Q1 #Horrorwriterschat. We're going in. Tell me the tea.

I see fairies as feeling superior to humans. They see us as silly, harmless creatures to play with, and sometimes that play turns mean and cruel. #HorrorWritersChat
