Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?
We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.
I really need to start doing research for my novel in incognito mode. I’m starting to suspect myself

I've just started reading the ARC and it is excellent, as expected.
If you’re one of the many readers who drove THE SISTER UNDER THE STAIRS up the bestseller charts, we have good news! Steena Holmes is working on a prequel collection. Look for DETECTIVE MERI AMBER’S MISSING PERSON FILES next spring from Joffe Books and Brilliance Audio.
Congrats, Steena!
This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both
I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things:
1. This gig is only worth it if you write what YOU want.
2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
Some incredible writing of hallucinations and trippy visuals in this one. Might not be for everyone, but for those willing to take a risk on something different will be richly rewarded 😍
Well, shit — a killer new horror bookstore in NYC got flooded and damaged by hurricane remnants. Help is needed if you can. Please share!

I'll post a few spoiler-free questions throughout the month, and then on November 26th everyone can post their thoughts and questions about the book!

Brilliant news is always welcome
If anyone is interested in the sequel to COHERENCE, we finally landed on a story worthy of the mission. Unless the actors revolt, we will probably do it just like the first one, where they know their own character details, but don't know what the other actors are going to say or do. Like real life.

Check out these cute brownies my daughter and her friend made. They've got soot sprites!
I've finished reading the proofs for my 3rd novel (self-publishing). My emotions are mixed. Pride, fear & anxiety, whatever-did-I-do-this-for, excitement, madness.
"Longshore Drift" comes out next spring. It's set in a fictitious Dungeness, a large shingle bank in Kent, UK. (My own photo)

STOP adapting 80-year-old books into movies and TV series. Stop it. There are a million new novels published every year and 99% of their authors are broke. Stop giving dead people’s descendants money. Books were NOT better a century ago, they were WORSE. They were ALL
WORSE. Create in THIS century.
