Long time no see! Things have been CRAZY around here lately. Filled with end of school insanity, dance recitals, and a family trip to Dollywood. 😍 Miss all you lovely people!

Just got back from Paris early yesterday. The flights were rough, but I did it! The city was beautiful. And while I was sad to leave after such a short time, I’m glad to be home with my kiddos.

Sorry to have been MIA again for so long, y’all. Been struggling with some bad anxiety and found out it’s likely I have OCD recently. It’s been a lot. But know I miss all of you!

Every week many of us look forward to these chats. Please, if you see this, click the original post and browse the works by so many horror writers. SO much talent flying under the radar that needs to be seen. xx

It was awards day at school today. My son won the COBRA award for his class (basically the student who does their best to go above and beyond)! My daughter won the Library award for her class! I'm one proud mama right now!

I read it in a book when I was like seven and it gave me nightmares for years! Maybe I'm just an extra scardy cat, but that one stuck with me.

#HorrorWritersChat Q4 We really should bring back the green ribbon girl story. I feel like kids these days are not nearly traumatized enough.

Glad to know I'm not alone in this fear!

#HorrorWritersChat Q3 People. I think people are both the past and future of fear in the world. There is so much to be afraid of there.

Hi, Eryn! Thanks for hosting!

#HorrorWritersChat Not gonna lie, I'm still freaked out by Bloody Mary. I catch myself accidentally thinking about it to myself sometimes in the bathroom and I immediately flip out. No. Thank. You.

#HorrorWritersChat Hey all, sorry I'm joining a bit late! I'm Jess (she/her) and I'm currently working on a cozy paranormal horror/romance. My childhood fear was....everything? lol I'm still a bit of a baby, but horror has grown on me over the years. Still gives me nightmares though.

#AwesomeCharacters Sophie usually works on her own. So, while she's not the best researcher, she usually looks up what she needs on her own, using the internet/library. Everett is used to relying on one of his associates for research purposes, though he will do some supplemental research himself.

Thanks!!! I hope it turns out how I'm picturing 🤞

My last book was shelved because the feedback from betas, while largely positive, disagreed on how best to fix the issues. Now my husband has the manuscript...
