New for me in 2026, I had a YA book published. Gritty and mean, sure, but with an introspective look at discovering who you are and what you want to do with that near the end of high school. Also worth noting, this book stages on its own and is eligible for 2026 YA horror awards. Just saying.

Don’t miss the opportunity to get a copy of this amazing special edition, with bonus material not available anywhere else. thunderstormbooks.com/thunderstorm...

New @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social has arrived! This book was soooooo good.

If you missed out getting in on the ground floor, can I interest you in getting in on the penthouse?

I got to see two of my favorite humans in conversation last night, @rachelharrison.bsky.social and @emilyhughes.bsky.social , and finally grabbed a copy of Kiss Slay Replay. Being able to give Rachel a copy of The Denizens with her blurb on the cover was pretty amazing, as well.

He’s right behind me, isn’t he?

The trees are bristling, as though a current runs through the soil at the base of their trunks. Overhead, the canopy shivers. The wind? You should only be so lucky. That’s when the first feral, sulphur-yellow eye snaps open, wandering the landscape until it settles on you. The Denizens

I am nowhere near emotionally ready to write a review on this book yet (Depth Charge by Tyler Jones - Out 11/10 from Shortwave) but I can already tell I’m going to have one hell of a book hangover.

I am so lucky to have Val Halvorson’s artwork gracing the covers of the Buzzard’s Edge books.
