Asked my husband to get lots of plums from Trader Joe's. He brought home six different kinds. That's how I know I married well.

If you're a fan of the violent undead and antiheroes don't miss IF WE SURVIVE THE NIGHT by Jo Salazar. I don't want to deal with a zombie apocalypse but if it were to go down I'd want Quinn by my side (as long as I could keep an eye on her). Oh and it might be YA but it doesn't pull any punches.

Been feeling weird all morning. Not bad, just weird. Realized I am not anxious at all (for the first time in... months at least). Is this what it feels like to roll through life without anxiety? Holy moly it's great. I'd forgotten.

And I LOVED it. Give me more badass women in perimenopause. Also, has @tanyapell.bsky.social turned me into a slasher reader?? 🖤🩷🖤🩷🖤

I cannot even begin to guess the percentage of my books that has been written on Sharky Desk in our family room with tv or video games happening in the background.

Spooky Season means Billy Buttons comes out of the attic to play. His favorite game is to sneak around the house and surprise you when you open a door or turn a corner. We love Billy. Billy is our friend. We are not afraid of Billy. We do not upset Billy. We are very quiet around Billy. Shh.

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

In my house fall starts today so I'm bringing the spooky season promo. My personal marketing team (aka The Girl Child) is back and this time she made me a video and I love it. 🖤🖤🖤

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I asked The Girl Child to keep me accountable for my daily word count because I knew she'd like doing it. Soooo now I'm afraid not to hit 500-1000 words a day (because that kid is intense) and this book is clicking along nicely. I have chosen wisely.

A day full of stuff I can only sort of talk about. Got jackets for the fifth Blight Harbor book - Dear Desdemona - in the mail today from my wonderful editor. @redolaf.bsky.social (illustrator) and Karyn Lee (designer) have done it again. Cannot wait until I can share. 🖤

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

We just selected the audiobook narrator for UNNAMED BONES and they accepted and it's going to be SO good. I cannot wait to see what they do with Roger (iykyk). Will share more as I can! Audiobook is out November 24th. 🖤

Forgot to post these yesterday. I went to the Spokane-area's newest bookstore - Paragraphs And Pages Books - to hang out for a couple hours and sign books. They are so supportive of area writers! I left a whole bunch of signed books behind. They ship! 🖤

Bookmail has been so good to me lately. Can't wait to dig into these two from @tanyapell.bsky.social and @adamcesare.bsky.social Also, Ripley can hear a photoshoot happening from across the house.

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I had the best time tonight at Wishing Tree Books. I left lots of signed copies of my YA and MG titles. Both paperbacks and hardcovers of my latest, UNNAMED BONES. Wishing Tree ships! :) 🖤

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

UNNAMED BONES is out today in paperback the UK 🖤

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I think I asked this years ago. Has anyone written a book on the history of children's horror literature - like fairy and cautionary tales to present? If not I sort of want to. When I have time. You know.

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Spokane-area friends! This Thursday I'll be at Wishing Tree Books from 3-5. If you're in the area for the South Perry Market stop by and say hi!

NEW EPISODE! @lorasenf.bsky.social joins me for convo about Unnamed Bones. We chat about writing for various ages, leaning into horror, the miracle of writing, & more. Unnamed Bones is a standout read, & I implore you to pick up a copy! On shelves today, links to listen to our episode:

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

UNNAMED BONES is out today. I'm really proud of this one and have my fingers crossed it will find its readers. This is my sixth book which feels both like so many and not enough - I came to writing late and I always feel a bit like I'm making up for lost time. 🖤

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

This was such a fun chat! 🖤

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Reminder for anyone with young readers: UNNAMED BONES is NOT middle grade. It might be totally fine for your kid but know it has violence, gore, swearing, and basically non-stop bad stuff. I think it's a lot of fun and your kid might too! I just want to manage expectations. It's out tomorrow. 🖤

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

I don't make a habit of reading reviews. Both good and bad reviews get in my head too much and it's not good for me. But my publisher seems to have no such problem so they went and found these fab reviews of UNNAMED BONES. It's out this Tuesday if it sounds like your jam. 🖤

My family leaves for Croatia in less than a week (first international trip for the kids) and I have basically done nothing to get us ready. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I don't know why I'm telling you this but I didn't know Tom Holland was English until like two days ago. I cannot tell you how much crap I'm receiving in my house right now.

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

UNNAMED BONES is out one week from today so I asked my kids to take pictures of it for me. The Girl Child went full designer mode and included my back catalogue, relevant information, Bird, and a Clackity hand. The Boy Child went clean and simple. Preorders and library requests very appreciated.

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

It's paperback release day for PENNIES-a Blight Harbor prequel-and my author copies just showed up on my porch. There's something special about this book for me. Maybe it's just that I love these four girls so much. Plus I'm super-extra in love with this cover by @redolaf.bsky.social and Karyn Lee

Lora Senf @lorasenf.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

I'm on deadline so naturally a back burner project is trying to move to the front. Why are brains like this?

Me again. One week until PENNIES - a Blight Harbor prequel - is out in paperback. Two weeks until UNNAMED BONES - ya survival cosmic horror - is out in hardcover and paperback. You can pre/order signed copies of these and all my titles from Auntie's and Wishing Tree Books in Spokane, WA. They ship!

New habit I'm working on: Every time I debate sharing good news/an accomplishment/praise, I'm asking myself, "Would a man hesitate to share this?" The reluctance to "brag" is ingrained *deeply* and is very loud (and I know I'm speaking in gendered generalities and nothing is universal).
