My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Up at 4:50 AM to get back to work on this book proposal. I think it's safe to say I'm really damn excited about this one.
Diving into my third KC Jones’ joint today. Isn’t it wild that we can return to an author time and time again? HOUSE HAUNTERS hits shelves this October from @tornightfire.bsky.social @pnwscribe.bsky.social
Cover reveal! A ghost hunting home inspector, a desperate reality TV producer, and a very concerned corgi are at the heart of this pumpkin-spiced horror, haunting a bookstore near you in October!
@pnwscribe.bsky.social Just started Black Tide. Its really fun reading a book that takes place where i live. Neat.
Lo! Something cover-shaped has appeared in my inbox, and I cannot wait to share it with you all!

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.
When I first published a little horror chapbook called "Mother" a decade ago, I never thought I'd be typing something like this, but I'm so thrilled to share that my newest novel, THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE, is a Top 100 USA TODAY Bestseller. @torbooks.bsky.social
While Line Fever by K C Jones is the prefect #audiobook for a spooky season road trip. Take that shortcut… if you dare. #Horror #NetGalley #BookSky 💙📚 @torbooks.bsky.social @pnwscribe.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
The Winnipeg Free Press just said this about VEIL: “The kind of horror novel that scares you on a visceral level...The book’s descriptions are so arrestingly vivid that it should come with a warning: 'Don’t read this book right before bed unless you want to have graphic nightmares.'.”
ONE WEEK! AUTUMN SPRINGS releases 9/30! Signed and Personalized copies are available from stores around the country. Links at pfracassi.com/newsandevents Or preorder from any bookstore to get the book day-of release!
One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.
Portland area friends! Be there or, well, be somewhere else, I won't hold it against you. But if you want to stock up on some signed books ahead of spooky season, come on by!
This Saturday, 9/14, @pnwscribe.bsky.social and I will be hanging out at the Clackamas Barnes & Noble in Portland, Oregon signing copies of our books. If you’re in the area, come grab some coffee, hang out, and check out all the awesome books. We’d love to see you there!
Just trying to distract myself from the agony of being on submission. The last time I did a PC upgrade, BLACK TIDE was out in the world looking for a home, which turned out pretty well, so here's hoping for a repeat!
Happy pub day @peterrosch.bsky.social and WHAT THE DEAD CAN DO!!
☠️ happy pub day to me 🖤 come hang if you can! GRATITUDE and love to Ariele Benita Jess @comptonwrites.bsky.social @nomadiceditor.bsky.social @saderotica.bsky.social @unheimlichmanvr.bsky.social @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social & many other F&F who have supported me on seeing this day come true. 🥹
“The First Lady encourages children of all ages to embrace the virtues that drive her and the president: laziness, ignorance, abject bullshit, and stolen material. AKA the same virtues taught by artificial intelligence!”
"In an exclusive statement to the New York Post, first lady Melania Trump has revealed her next official project: leading the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge to inspire children and teachers to embrace AI technology and help accelerate innovation in the field."
B&N Bridgeport all set up for the event this Saturday with @wnwagner.bsky.social and I! Also, hanging out on the J shelf with @sgj.bsky.social, @rossjefferyauthor.bsky.social, @pnwscribe.bsky.social, and @jrjisprobable.bsky.social.
It's far more important for a reader (and especially writers) to discover their own personal canons than the ones handed down from above. Anybody wanting to get into any genre should start by reading the books that sound cool to them. One weird trick, I know.
Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein should be required for anyone getting into sci-fi
Portland area friends, I have a couple events coming up soon with @wnwagner.bsky.social and @pnwscribe.bsky.social! If you’re around, come say hi!
Well, I certainly wasn't expecting THIS loveliness! WOLF snuck its way back onto the USA Today bestseller list, three months after its release! Ain't that just like a shapeshifter??? 🤯🤯🤯
Some people write to work out their fear and trauma, including @peterrosch.bsky.social, author of ☠️WHAT THE DEAD CAN DO☠️. He opens up in Strand Magazine about sobriety, fatherhood, and the fear that inspired the book. https://loom.ly/F1eg8Jk

A guest post by Peter Rosch If we met for the first time today, there’s a better than average chance that after our interaction, you’d walk away thinking, “that’s one happy guy.” I’m not saying ...

Sending in my final final *final* edits for VEIL tonight. Then it goes to the @blackstonepub.bsky.social printers. Friends, I can't wait for you to read this one.
Tomorrow, one of the loveliest people in horror returns to the show.
Thank you Reactor Magazine for spreading the word on GHOST EATERS. You’re definitely gonna want to get haunted: bit.ly/3U5BbUG @reactorsff.bsky.social @maggielevin.bsky.social
