Reminder: @scaresthatcare.bsky.social’s annual charity event, AuthorCon, is way less expensive than StokerCon. Readers & authors will get more from the programming than any other con because I singlehandedly curate it to do just that. scaresthatcare.org/author-con Guest of honor list update soon!

Did a video on IG about the HWA and discernment based on my own experience. It shouldn’t be used as a means for personal gain or to lord over others.

I'm anticipating an Indigenous-Appalachian folk horror hybrid that only someone with an encyclopedic knowledge of Aztlan/Tenochtitlan Brujeria and mythology could create. Throw in a couple flares, spice, and some White Claw into a cauldron, stir it 13 times, then print it out and I'll buy that book!

Happy book birthday, Donyae! 🎉 I got to read early and said "Fevered and beautiful. Coles writes as if her words are hunting each other, and she fills THE SUNKEN, THE ADORED with wariness, indulgence, and a sense of murder-touched grandeur. An experience to be savored." Absolutely gorgeous book 💜

I have a book coming out on Tuesday! My publisher gave me an option of either a launch day event or one for the weekend. And I said let's do the weekend cuz a lot of my community works so it will be easier for them to come out for a signing on Saturday. But that's not the real reason

I loved this queen since forever. Her music inspired my writing and are in my books. The wrong ones are leaving too soon.

A VERY organized, affordable (especially for marginalized folks, fun, charitable, place for horror to meet and go to DIVERSE panels is @scaresthatcare.bsky.social w @briankeene.bsky.social For charity AND authors can make back their money. Next year there is a forum JUST FOR WOMEN. I’ll be there.

We just had an eclipse and we are in eclipse season. It’s doing its thing. They’ve always been viewed across cultures and in witchcraft with caution because they are known to bring upheaval, revelations, abrupt endings,chaos. Stay grounded. Be there for others. Stay witchy.

Ordered a replacement for Out of Aztlan by V. Castro @vlatinalondon.bsky.social from the indie as well. I have no clue where this book went, but hopefully it's being loved properly.

Finished "Maria the Wanted" by @vlatinalondon.bsky.social last night. Fun vampire novel! Awesome protagonist and supporting characters. The Latino & pop culture references resonated with me (Selena!). Looking forward to reading more from V. Now to work through the rest of my backlog...

Fantastic evening hyping up the new @silviamg.bsky.social book THE INTRIGUE ! This juicy noir is out now. Support women of color in fiction. Buy. Review. Share ❤️

Big thanks @titanbooks.bsky.social for sending the new @stephengrahamjones.com ! It’s going road tripping with me next month.

So in college I danced to pay the bills. I wrote a book about it incorporating Aztec mythology (jaguar shifters) and horror. Some of you might have read it as Hairspray and Switchblades, but it’s expanded and will be out again with @clashbooks.bsky.social ! Watch this space!

The original novella was a banger and I can't wait to read this expanded version. Go V!

This is 47. What have I learned? “You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done” Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

The wrong one, lord 😭😭 Time for a rewatch. Love this one. And The Piano, And Jurassic Park… so many
