I’m participating as a pro “Owl” judge in Writing Battle’s Solstice Owl Battle starting July 17th. Writers adhere to whacky genres as well as incorporating character and object prompts into their submitted stories. $15,000 USD allocated to the Solstice Owl winners and runner-ups in each genre!

My favorite @stephenking.bsky.social book of all time. Man, this one scared the crap out of me the first time I read it. Ironically though, it was never the clown that gave me the chills, but the things It turned into. #booktok #stephenking #horrorbook

Have you read the Vampires of York Tower by Kirsten McKenzie? "An ancient evil stalks the residents of York Tower, where they're not just tenants, they're prey." My kind of story! #kirstenmckenzie #booktok #thrillerbook #horrorbook #vampirebook #writingcommunity
