Authorcon is this weekend Feb 27-Mar 1 and Mary SanGiovanni will be there! Mary is best known for Thrall and The Hollower trilogy, but you should check out her short fiction too. Her short works are tight, imaginative, and heartbreaking in the best way.

Authorcon is happening February 27-March 1 and @vlatinalondon.bsky.social will be there! The Queen of Cicadas was my first read by V. And it’s an awesome tale of restless spirits and revenge. Looking forward to jumping into her newest, Maria the Wanted!

Authorcon is happening Feb 27- March 1 and @kenzieblyjay.bsky.social will be there! I’ve been a fan of Kenzie’s work since her debut, Reception. Her short fiction is incredibly sharp, vicious, and fun. If you’re at Authorcon, visit Kenzie and check out her work.

I’m currently bouncing between projects, but the one I seem to be working on most consistently is a horror novella about a wildlife photographer who gets kidnapped by a serial killer. :)

In a testament to how awful 2025 was, I've already written more in 2026 than I did in the first half of 2025.

Happy Birthday to George A. Romero who would have been 86 today. I never had a chance to meet him, but his work has inspired me and his advice gave me the kick in the pants I needed to write my first horror novel.

Wonderful newsletter from Brian Keene this week. Especially liked the essay on writer Jack Ketchum, who opened me to a world of possibilities.

For the first time in 2 months I wrote something that wasn’t a eulogy. Feels good to get back to fiction.
