There’s a nor’easter raging outside but inside we’ve got a log on the fire and an apple crumble in the oven

Turns out some of the loudest AI detection software skeptics are people who are using AI to write and don’t want to get caught 🤣🔥 www.theargumentmag.com/p/the-core-a...

Sex is great but have you ever read Edgar Allan Poe whilst enjoying dark chocolate mousse and a vintage bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in front of a crackling fire in an ominous Victorian mansion under a full moon with the sound of owls in the distance on a cool October night?

Just a friendly reminder that supporting your local library also means supporting your local library ghost.

I found out from my mom that someone has been stealing the flowers she puts on my grandpa’s grave and putting them on another grave a couple rows over and I am dying to know everything about this situation

I’m in that weird in-between place where I’m working on a new manuscript but getting ready for the publication of the old one, so I’m constantly flipping the switch like I’m cheating on one with the other one.

This is so funny because the book I was writing that didn’t start out as horror turned out to be horror

I love Ray Bradbury’s description of a library

If you start today and write just 2 double-spaced pages a day, by the end of the year you’ll have a book

I joined a horror book club at my local bookstore and we just read Diavola. Very fun summer “vacation gothic” novel

I love it when people come to visit, and I also love it when they leave (and I can get my clean orderly life back) 😂

If there are authors you want to support but you can’t afford to buy their books, request them from your local library!
