Hello! I write the Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories series. Book 5 is out in October, but they all feature frequent herbal lore and very active wild places. Adam Neville's The Ritual is my current favorite forest story.

I don’t update enough here, but I’m going to spend tomorrow night in the super-haunted Myrtles Plantation. Expect blurry photos of intangible things. The room I’m staying in had a bunch of kids die of scarlet fever, so I’m not planning to sleep much.

I’ve passed the halfway point in my next novel and I already know how it is ending which is new for me and my whole process. This book will be out in about a year, so there is time to refine it.

Hey, everyone. I have free codes for audiobooks burning a hole in my pocket. If you’d like to listen to the first, second or third book in the Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories series read by an actual human, let me know. Or all three. Seriously, they gave me a lot of codes.

Today is the last day to pre-order Howls of the Windy City. Starting tomorrow, you’ll have to regular order it like the normies. If you missed the six months that skinny jeans eluded you, now is the time to redeem yourself.

Tonight I am writing the last chapter of my Ireland novel. I’m not done working on it as it will now go through edits and beta readers but I have the same sad feeling I get whenever I leave Ireland.

I submitted the audio files for my second audiobook to Audible today so I’m starting to feel more official now. My fourth book comes out at the end of the month. In text, like the luddites prefer. Audio to follow.
