Or… let’s say “team production” - since real talk? My husband did all the heavy digital lifting. Long story short: I’ve written a lot of shorter fiction that’s never been seen outside of an anthology - and given that most of those stories were published years ago, the rights were free and clear. I’m not just talking short stories, but novelettes and novellas, too. Sure, you can find many of these…
Several years ago, I started drafting a book that would go on to eat my life - even though a tiiiiny part of me suspected it would not be well received. The critical response might range from “holy shit that’s cool” to “deep, deep yikes ,” and I had no idea which way it would tilt. So in short, if I were able to (a). write this thing, and (b). actually somehow sell this thing … then (c). I might…
Look! It’s my book! It entices you by waggling its eyebrows. Or it would, if it had any. Here we go, right? My very first indie/self-produced book* is finally out in the world - or on Amazon, where you’ll now find the author’s cut of Cinderwich in ebook…and now paperback!…formats. That’s right, The Author’s Cut of this paperback can now be yours - for the low-low price of ten bucks American ,…
Well, we survived our first month of 2026. What do you say we call that a mulligan, and pretend that this Monday is the first of the new year? That’s what I’m doing, anyway. New year, new me. New bargains, new shenanigans. Let’s get this party STARTED. First! I want to say a huge thanks to the marvelous Colleen Mondor at Locus - for she might actually be my perfect audience, as borne out in her…
Yesterday turned into quite the adventure. It was a long and tedious adventure at times, but don’t worry: I’ll just give you the highlights. Long story short: I saw on a localish-to-me Facebook group that a Pyrenees had been abandoned, tied up to a handrail outside a building, beside a busy street. Apparently he’d been on the lam for a couple of days already, dodging traffic, and we think someone…

Updated 10/22! I’ve been meaning to do something like this for awhile but I keep forgetting - and now, here on a weekend, I finally have some time to sit down and queue up some promotions from around the book-selling internet for your buying/reading/spooking pleasure.

It Was Her House First is making the rounds and finding its readership, which is marvelous - and it means I’m getting emails about it (yay!) and some of those emails have questions (okay!), and some of them come with skeptical critique (boo!). So I’m writing this post to address the notes I’ve received about a certain character and his corpse’s peculiar post-demise activity. To wit, my main…
I’m not gonna lie: I’ve been putting this off. It’s not like I didn’t know I had a book coming out today, and it’s not that I had better things to do with my time than tell you, the reading public, about this thing I wrote. You’d think after 20+ years in publishing this would be old hat by now - like I should have a template or something - but the truth is, I did not start writing this post until…
