I’ve been a huge fan of Wil Wheaton since junior high when I saw him play Gordie LaChance in STAND BY ME. Today I found out he read my sci-fi horror novel VEIL and recommended it, and I’m geeking out like you wouldn’t believe. Thank you, Wil! You freaking rock!
My September reads: @jonathanjanz.bsky.social Veil and Bat Eater and other names for cora zeng by Kylie Lee Baker..both great but vastly different books. #horror #horrorbooks #reading Veil: alien invasion horror with a unique premise. It's fun, exciting and has some great scary parts
If you’re not sure about trying MARLA, this fantastic short video review might just persuade you.

Let's not leave out the part where he says, "Marla presents the horror genre with a haunted girl deserving of multiple sequels." ... did you see THAT, @jonathanjanz.bsky.social??? DESERVING OF MULTIPLE SEQUELS!!!!
Jonathan Janz@jonathanjanz.bsky.social · last mo.I genuinely love this review.
Extraordinary new MARLA review from Ricky Serrano and @comicsbeat.bsky.social. About Marla, he writes, “She becomes a towering presence that’s felt all throughout the book, akin to Dracula in Bram Stoker’s classic.” Read the rest here: www.comicsbeat.com/horror-beat-...

First glimpse of tonight’s amazing, awesome, magical MARLA launch event at Second Flight Books. Much more to come soon!
Huge thanks to The Seattle Times for choosing MARLA as one of four mystery/thriller novels to round out your summer reading. I loved this part: “Marla” is grisly, emotionally charged horror with a warning readers would be wise to remember: Keep your eyes down." www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...
4 new dark and thrilling reads
In these four darkly funny and deeply unsettling novels, obsession loosens buried secrets and accountability rarely lands where it should.
